• Crochet Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 22 stitches x 30 rows = 4 inches in double crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring to begin your shawl. This will form the center of your shawl.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) to the top of the initial chain-3. You should have a total of 12 double crochets.
3. Round 2: Chain 3, then work 1 dc in the same stitch. Now, make 2 dc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You will have 24 double crochets at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: Chain 4 (counts as dc and chain-1), then *dc in the next stitch, chain 1; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the 3rd chain of the beginning chain-4. You will have 24 dc and 24 chain-1 spaces.
5. Round 4: Chain 3, dc in the same stitch, chain 1. Now, *work 2 dc in the next dc, chain 1; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You should have 48 dc and 24 chain-1 spaces.
6. Round 5: Chain 3, dc in the same stitch, chain 1. Then, *dc in the next dc, chain 1, dc in the next dc, chain 1, 2 dc in the next dc, chain 1; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-3. You will have 72 dc and 48 chain-1 spaces.
7. Continue Increasing: Continue in the established pattern, increasing the number of double crochets between the 2-dc groups in each round until your shawl reaches the desired size. Remember to keep your stitches even for a beautiful finish.
8. Finish with a Scalloped Edge: To create the scalloped edge, *work 5 dc in the next chain-1 space, then 1 single crochet (sc) in the next chain-1 space; repeat from * around the entire shawl. This will give your shawl a lovely, decorative finish.
9. Final Touch: Once you have completed the scalloped edge, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Clover Heart Crochet Shawl. Enjoy wearing your beautiful creation or gifting it to someone special!
