Notes

• Pattern is written in US crochet terms
• Shawl is worked bottom up and worked in rows
• Instructions are for using a full cake of Scheepjes Whirl. I left 30g of yarn to complete border. I began with the purple shade and ended with the gorgeous red!
• Ch 4 at beginning of a row counts as 1 tr throughout
• Gauge is not important. If using a different yarn, use a hook suitable for your own tension. Make a swatch of the first 6 rows to test your hook size.
• Shawl pictured uses the same yarn for the border but a contrast yarn would also look beautiful.
• Finish pattern repeat when shawl is the required size

Border (read notes before starting)

• Turn your work after final row, to crochet down first side. The edging is worked around 2 sides of shawl – first working down 1 side to bottom point (beg of pattern) and back up other side. You will not work along top edge.
• Depending on where you are in the pattern, you will work either a sc, or (2dc, picot, 2dc) in the bottom point of the shawl.
• You will work into the row ends of each row along the sides. It is the st loop at the beginning and end of each row, where you worked your first and last sts. (see below pictures for guidance)
