Chenille Shawl

Comments: A little shawl very easy to crochet (basically a fishnet) and very easy to modify according to your wishes. You can expand the pattern for making a full-size shaw, or you can make it smaller to make a bandana, you can use fringe made of same chenille to let it more sober, you can use leather strips with pearls for fringe ( very vintage, very vogue),or you can avoid fringe at all. Chenille is a wonderful material for shawls, soft and expandible. A tip; use an hook 1 1/2 size larger than required for your yarn and work loosy!

Size :100 x 60 cm (40" x 24"), fringes excluded

Material : Sport Weight Chenille, color black, green ribbon string yarn, Hook no.4 (US=G/6);you may want to give a look to my virtual store if you need materials.

Stitches :ch, sl st, sc

Difficulty: easy

Directions

Start with 151 ch;

1. sc in 6th ch from hk, *5 ch, sk 3 ch, sc in next ch*; Repeat * to * along side => 36 open spaces; 1 ch, turn

2.sl st to the center of first ch sp, sc in this space (decrement) *5 ch, sc in next loop* Repeat * to * along Row; 1 ch, turn => 35 spaces

Repeat Row 2, decrementing a space on each Row, until you will have only 1 space left. Cut

Border :crochet a loosy sc or crab stitch border all around, making 3 sc in corners.

Fringe: Cut about 75 ribbon yarn pieces, long 40 cm (16") each. Insert one fringe in each space on diagonal sides; insert remaining fringes all together in the lower angular space.

N.B.

Substitute ever (also if not explicitly said) first st in a row as follows:
- first sc with 1 ch, sc;
- first hdc with 2 ch;
- first dc with 3 ch;
- first tr with 4 ch...and so on;
When you read "sl st to <location>", where the location is not immediately contiguous to last st, this means of course "an appropriate number of sl sts for reaching <location>".
Also if I do not specify it, if you lasted prev row on a st (say st1), while you must start next row in another st (say st2), make an appropriate number of sl sts to reach st2.
