Materials Needed

• Medium weight cotton yarn (approximately 300-400 yards)
• 5.0 mm (H-8) crochet hook
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 60 stitches. Ensure that your chain is not too tight to allow for easy stitch work.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Then, double crochet in each of the remaining chains across the row. You should have a total of 58 double crochets at the end of this row.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then turn your work. Double crochet in the next stitch. Now, *chain 1, skip 1 stitch, double crochet in the next stitch; repeat from * across the row. End this row with a double crochet in the top of the turning chain from the previous row.
4. Row 3: Chain 3 and turn your work. Double crochet in the first stitch. Now, *chain 1, double crochet in the chain space; repeat from * across the row. Finish this row with a double crochet in the top of the turning chain.
5. Continue Pattern: Repeat Row 3 until your shawl measures approximately 60 inches in length. This will create the beautiful lace pattern that defines the shawl.
6. Scalloped Edge: To create the scalloped edge, for the last 5 rows, work 5 double crochets in the last stitch of each row. This will give your shawl a lovely, decorative finish.
7. Finishing: Once you have completed the scalloped edge, finish off your work by cutting the yarn, leaving a long tail. Weave in all ends using a tapestry needle to ensure a neat finish.

Now you have your very own elegant lace shawl! Enjoy wearing it or gifting it to someone special.
