📌 Before You Begin

💡

Shawl is worked from top center down in rows with increases at center and edges to create triangle shape

💡

Ch 3 at beginning of rows counts as first dc throughout

💡

Place stitch markers on either side of center V-st to track increases easily

💡

Pattern uses repetitive stitch pattern that can be adjusted for larger or smaller size by working more or fewer rows

💡

Block finished shawl for best drape and to open up lace pattern

🧶 Pattern Instructions

💡 Tip: The ch-2 space in Row 1 becomes your center point marker
  1. Row 1
    Ch 4. Work (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in 4th ch from hook. Turn. (4 dc plus ch-2 sp)
  2. Row 2
    Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in first st, ch 1, sk 1 dc, V-st in ch-2 sp (center point), ch 1, sk 1 dc, 2 dc in top of turning ch. Turn. (6 dc)
Row counter:
💡 Tip: Count your V-stitches regularly to ensure even increases. Each row should have 3 more V-sts than the previous row
  1. Row 3
    Ch 3, dc in first st, ch 1, sk 1 dc, V-st in next ch-1 sp, ch 1, V-st in center ch-1 sp, ch 1, V-st in next ch-1 sp, ch 1, sk 1 dc, 2 dc in top of turning ch. Turn. (12 dc)
  2. Row 4
    Ch 3, dc in first st, [ch 1, V-st in next ch-1 sp] across to center V-st, ch 1, V-st in center ch-1 sp, [ch 1, V-st in next ch-1 sp] across to last dc, ch 1, 2 dc in top of turning ch. Turn. (18 dc)
  3. Rows 5-40
    Repeat Row 4, working V-st in each ch-1 sp across and maintaining center V-st increase. Each row adds 3 V-sts total (one at each edge, one at center). (240 dc at end of Row 40)
Row counter:
  1. Row 41
    Ch 1, sc in first st, sc in next dc, [2 sc in ch-1 sp, sc in each of next 2 dc] across entire row, working 3 sc in center ch-1 sp. Turn. (361 sc)
Row counter:
💡 Tip: Work border loosely to maintain drape and prevent edge from puckering
  1. Row 42
    Ch 1, sc in first sc, *ch 3, sk 2 sc, sc in next sc; rep from * across. Turn.
  2. Row 43
    Ch 1, sc in first sc, *5 dc in next ch-3 sp (shell made), sc in next sc; rep from * across. Turn.
  3. Row 44
    Ch 1, sc in first sc, *ch 4, sc in center dc of next shell, ch 4, sc in next sc; rep from * across. Turn.
  4. Row 45
    Ch 1, sc in first sc, *5 dc in next ch-4 sp, sc in next sc, 5 dc in next ch-4 sp, sc in next sc; rep from * across. Fasten off.
Row counter:
💡 Tip: Aim for approximately 80-90 sc along each side edge for even distribution
  1. Round 1
    With RS facing, join yarn at top right corner. Ch 1, work sc evenly down right side edge (approx 2 sc per row end), 3 sc in bottom point, sc evenly up left side edge to match right side, sl st to first sc. Fasten off.

✂️ Finishing

Weave in all ends securely using tapestry needle. Block shawl to finished measurements by pinning to blocking mats or clean surface. Lightly mist with water or use steam blocking method. Pin out each shell in border to open lace pattern. Allow to dry completely before unpinning, approximately 24 hours.

🧺 Care Instructions

Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay flat to dry, reshaping to measurements. Do not hang while wet. May be steamed to refresh between washes. Store folded or draped to prevent stretching.

Questions About This Pattern

Absolutely — just match the weight (Sport). You'll need about approximately 800-900 yards, so make sure your substitute has enough meterage. Fine yarns give delicate detail. Cotton is great for structured pieces; mohair adds a halo effect for a dreamy look.
This intermediate pattern assumes you're comfortable with basic stitches. You'll use ch, dc, sc, hdc and a few more (see the Abbreviations section above). If increases and decreases are new to you, a quick 10-minute tutorial on YouTube before you start will make the pattern much smoother.
Usually it's the joining or finishing — where individual sections meet and need to align. Read through the entire pattern once before you start so there are no surprises. Use stitch markers generously to track your place, especially in rounds. If a section looks wrong, count your stitches before proceeding — catching an error early saves a lot of frogging later.
For this pattern, gauge is "18 dc x 9 rows = 4 inches in V-stitch pattern". For decorative or non-fitted items it's less critical, but matching gauge ensures you use the right amount of yarn and get the proportions the pattern intends. If your swatch is too small (too many stitches/inch), go up a hook size. Too large — go down.
Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay flat to dry, reshaping to measurements. Do not hang while wet. May be steamed to refresh between washes. Store folded or draped to prevent stretching. A general rule: when unsure about the yarn, hand wash in cool water with a drop of gentle detergent, squeeze (don't wring), and block flat to dry. This is safe for almost every fiber.
Each section builds on the last, so yes — follow them in order. That said, some finishing sections (like embellishments or optional edging) can be skipped if you prefer a simpler look. Read through all sections before starting so you understand how the pieces fit together and can plan your yarn usage across sections.
