Making Process
- Starting Point: Create 5 chain stitches, joining the first and last with a slip stitch to form a loop.
- Row 1: Chain 3, then make 5 double crochets, 2 chains, and another 5 double crochets.
- Row 2 (BLO Double Crochets): Start with 3 chains, then 1 increase. Double crochet in each stitch until the chain space. In the chain space, work (1 dc, 1 tr, 2 ch, 1 tr, 1 dc). Continue with 1 dc in each stitch until the last two stitches where you’ll make 1 increase and 1 dc.
- Rows 3-32: Repeat Row 2 to gradually shape the shawl into a triangle, increasing stitches symmetrically at the edges and center.
- Row 33 (Holes): Begin with 3 chains, 1 increase, followed by repeating (1 chain, skip one stitch, 1 dc) until the middle chain space. Perform the regular middle pattern, then mirror the same pattern until you reach the end with 1 increase and 1 dc.
Continue…
- Row 34 (DCs Over the Holes): Similar to Row 2 but work on each stitch and chain space to maintain the stitch count.
- Rows 35-40: Continue with BLO double crochets as per Row 2.
- Row 41: Repeat the hole pattern from Row 33.
- Row 42: DCs over the holes as shown in Row 34.
- Rows 43-48: Repeat the BLO double crochet pattern.
- Row 49: Again, execute the hole pattern.
- Row 50: Follow the DCs over holes pattern.
- Rows 51-55: Continue with BLO double crochets.
- Row 56: Implement the hole pattern.
- Row 57: DCs over the holes.
- Rows 58-60: Stick to the BLO double crochet pattern.
- Finish (Row 61): Conclude with a row of single crochet stitches in each stitch, and fasten off the work.
This pattern yields a shawl that not only celebrates the serene beauty of lake sunsets but does so with a design simple enough for even beginner crocheters to enjoy.
