Second Half

Editor's Note: After completing the first half of the shawl, turn it upside down with the right side of the pattern facing you. The foundation chain will be at the top of the piece. Join the yarn at the edge and work into the other side of the foundation chain--you will be sharing spaces with the stitches that were originally worked in Row 1 of the pattern for the first half of the shawl.

  1. Row 1: With right side facing and working along opposite side of foundation ch, join yarn in first ch with a slip st, ch 3, dc in next 2 ch, *ch 3, skip 2 ch, sc in next 3 ch, ch 3, skip 2 ch, dc in next 3 ch; repeat from * across.
    Work as for First Half of Shawl.
