• Gauge: 16 double crochets (dc) x 8 rows = 4 inches
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a slip knot and chaining 100 stitches. This will form the base of your shawl.
2. Row 1:
   • Dc in the 4th chain from the hook. This counts as your first double crochet.
   • Now, *chain 2, skip the next 2 chains, and dc in the next chain; repeat from * until you reach the end of the row.
   • Once you reach the end, turn your work to start Row 2.
3. Row 2:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc for this row).
   • Dc in the next dc from Row 1.
   • *Chain 2, skip the next chain-2 space, and dc in the next dc; repeat from * until the end of the row.
   • Turn your work to begin Row 3.
4. Row 3:
   • Chain 3, and dc in the next dc.
   • *Chain 2, then make 2 dc in the next chain-2 space; repeat from * until the end of the row.
   • Turn your work to go back to Row 2.
5. Repeat Rows: Continue repeating Rows 2 and 3 until your shawl reaches your desired length. Make sure to end with Row 2 for a consistent edge.
6. Edging:
   • To create a beautiful finish, chain 1 and single crochet (sc) in each double crochet across the top of your shawl.
   • For the scalloped edge, *make 5 dc in each chain-2 space; repeat from * until you reach the end of the row.
   • Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet to complete the edging.
7. Finishing: Fasten off your yarn and use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends. Your shawl is now complete!
