Hints & Tips

• Colour changes are not incorporated into the pattern instructions; however, colours can be changed as desired.
• Single colour or a very gradual ombre gradient yarn is recommended. Another option is to complete all solid reps in one colour and all motif blocks in another colour, or all solid reps in one col and use a different colour for each motif block.
• The prev row st immediately following a triangle centre tip/cnr Ch 2 Sp can become hidden after constructing the tip/cnr for the current row. Expose the st (if needed) by gently pulling the tip/cnr sts away from the prev row st.
• Ensure the chains in the lace triangle motifs are not overly tight. If working tight chains, then additional chain(s) may need to be worked to ensure the shawl rows lie flat.
• Post sts (alternating front post and back post rows) can be substituted for DC sts in the solid DC reps of the pattern, if preferred. This will add texture to the shawl.
• There is no RS and WS. The shawl can be worn on either side (according to preference).

Pattern Instructions

Note:

• The shawl consists of alternating Solid Blocks and Lace Blocks. Each Solid Block will always have a single rep of the solid rows. The Lace Block will increase by one rep of the lace rows with each subsequent block. The Solid Rep and the Lace Rep are both three rows in total.

• Construction is summarized as:

1. 1. Solid Block with 1 Solid Rep (3 rows)
   2. Lace Block with 1 Lace Rep (3 rows)
   3. Solid Block with 1 Solid Rep (3 rows)
   4. Lace Block with 2 Lace Reps (6 rows)
   5. Solid Block with 1 Solid Rep (3 rows)
   6. Lace Block with 3 Lace Reps (9 rows)
   7. Solid Block with 1 Solid Rep (3 rows)
   8. Lace Block with 4 Lace Reps (12 rows)
   9. Solid Block with 1 Solid Rep (3 rows)
   10. Lace Block with 5 Lace Reps (15 rows)
   11. Etc., until shawl is preferred size (and either finishing with a Solid bock or the final rep of a Lace block)

• Work all sts in ( ) in the same st from the prev row.
• [ ] contains a short st sequence to be rep as per instructions.
• An explanation of the and * * rep instructions is provided in Appendix B of premium PDF. contain a short st sequence that is rep multiple times when constructing a single short side of the shawl. # follows the last st in the last rep, where this is a partial rep. * * contain longer st sequence that forms an entire short side of the shawl. The * * sts are always made twice, once for the first short side of the shawl, and once more for the second short side of the shawl.
• Beg Ch 5 counts as a DC and Ch 2 Sp.

• Each row always begins and finishes at a Ch 2 Sp triangle tip/cnr. Each subsequent row will commence in the same tip/cnr that the prev row was completed in.
• A st count follows each row instructions in ( ). The st count is written in a format that is intended to simplify the triangle motif counts. The 'standard sts' are the: beg Ch 5 (beg cnr), centre Ch 2 Sp (middle cnr), and fin Ch 2 – DC st sequence (fin cnr)).
• Refer to Appendix C of premium PDF for a St Count explanation.
• Refer to Appendix D of premium PDF for a diagram of the first 18 rows of the shawl construction.

Optional Border

The border instructions intentionally do not have a st count included so that these can be added after any pattern Solid Rep (e.g. rows 30/45/63/etc.).

Work only one option for Border Row 2, according to your preference.

Option 2A has been used for Example Shawl 1. Option 2C has been used for Example Shawl 2.

Option 2B is the simplest to construct and requires the least amount of yarn. Option 2A requires more yarn than the other two options.

A fringe along the bottom edge of the shawl can also be substituted for a border.
