SHAWL

Crochet Tension: 1 diamond with 4 love knots = approx 6 x 6 cm

Measurements: Top width approx 200 cm, length mid back approx 100 cm

Abbreviations: st = stitch, ch = chain stitch; sl st = slip stitch; dc = double crochet; tr = treble crochet; lk = love knot

Pattern: The shawl is crochet from bottom up (see diagram 1 - chain = A, knot = B).

1st row: crochet 1 ch (= C in diagram).
*Pull the st on needle approx 4.5 cm long, yarn over needle, pull yarn over needle through st, put needle through chain (see diagram 2 – chain = D), yarn over needle, pull yarn through chain (= 2 st on needle), yarn over needle, pull yarn over needle through both sts on needle* (from *-* = 1 love knot)
Repeat from *-* 3 times (= 4 knots) and connect them with a dc in the first ch to form a ring.

2nd row: Turn the piece, crochet 3 lk, 1 dc in the 3nd lk from 1st row (crochet dc in B – see diagram 1), crochet 3 lk and 1 dc in the 2nd lk from 1st row (= 2 diamonds on the row)

3rd row: Turn the piece, crochet 1 lk and attach with a dc in the 2nd lk from previous row (ie the last diamond) - you’ve now turned so that you’re ready to continue this row: crochet 3 lk, 1 dc in the top lk in diamond from previous row, 2 lk, dc in the top of the next diamond, 3 lk, 1 dc in the 1st lk in diamond from previous row (= 3 diamonds on the row)

4th row: Turn the piece, crochet 1 lk and attach with a dc in the 2nd lk in the last diamond from previous row – you’ve now turned so that you’re ready to continue this row: crochet 3 lk, 1 dc in the top lk in diamond from previous row, 2 lk, dc in the top of the next diamond, 2 lk, dc in the top of the next diamond, 3 lk, 1 dc in the 1st lk in diamond from previous row (= 4 diamonds on the row)

Continue like this, turning the piece as explained under 3rd row after each row (crochet 1 lk and attach with a dc in the 2nd lk in the last diamond from previous row), and create an additional diamond in each row. You crochet 3 lk at the beginning and end of a row and 2 lk on the diamonds in between.

When you have crochet 26 rows (or desired length), cut the thread.
