Sylvia's Shawl- The pattern



Sylviaʼs Shawl

I used Red Heart Plush and a Bates K hook.
Please adjust the starting chain and hook to your yarn and tension. Gauge is not important in this project.

Body
Chain 150- 200 to length desired across shoulders.
(note: Fingertip to fingertip is my favorite.)
Row 1: SC in each chain across. Ch 1, turn.
Row 2: SC in each SC across, Ch 1, turn.
Row 3: SC in each SC across, turn.
Row 4: *ch 2, sk 1 sc, sc in next sc* Repeat from * to * across till less than 3 sc left in previous row, ch 1, dc in last sc (counts as ch 2 loop here and in each following row) , turn.
Row 5: *ch 2, sk 1 sc, sc in next ch 2 space* Repeat from * to * across till last ch 2 space left in previous row, ch 1, dc in last sc, turn.
Row 6-end: Repeat row 5 till row consists of 2 ch 2 loops.
Last row in body: ch 1, dc in last ch 2 loop. Finish off

Scallop Trim:
Row 1: Attach at one end of the initial SC row. Ch 1, loosly sc in each row along edge to bottom
point. In final ch 2 loop of body do point cluster (sc2, dc, sc2 ) then sc in each row up the
other side. Ch1, turn.
Row 2: *sk 2 sc, 7tr in next sc, sk 2 sc, sc in next sc*(scallop) repeat from * to * down one side. Adjust skipped scʼs to end a scallop in the sc before the point cluster. Sk 2 sc, (tr, ch1) 7 times in dc, sk 2 sc, sc in next sc. *sk 2 sc, 7 tr in next sc, sk 2 sc, sc in next sc*(scallop) repeat from * to * up second edge, ending in last sc in initial row of scʼs. Finish off.
