Crochet South Bay Shawl
Materials Needed:
- Yarn: Number 1 super fine fingering weight
- Crochet hook: 4.5 mm (G+ hook)
- Stitch marker
Pattern Instructions:
Starting Point:
- Chain 7: Begin by making a slip knot and then chain 7.
- In the 7th chain from the hook, place a double crochet, chain 3, and a double crochet back into that same chain. This creates your first V stitch.
Row 2 (Setup Row):
- Chain 3 (counts as your first double crochet).
- Turn your work.
- In the chain-3 space of the beginning V stitch, work 7 double crochets.
- Place one double crochet in the center double crochet (middle stitch).
- Use your stitch marker here.
- In the next V stitch's chain-3 space, place 7 double crochets.
- Finish with an additional double crochet in the third chain space from the start of the previous row.
After Row 3 (Beginning of Repeat):
- Chain 6 (counts as the first double crochet plus chain 3).
- Turn and double crochet in the same beginning double crochet.
- This forms your first V stitch for the row.
- Chain 2 for an elongated edge (alter this to chain-1 for less elongation).
- Skip 2 double crochets and then double crochet in each of the next three stitches.
- Continue this pattern (V stitch, chain 2, three double crochets, chain 2) across the row, adding a double V stitch in the center double crochet to increase.
Row 4:
- Chain 3 and turn.
- In the chain-3 space of each V stitch, work 7 double crochets.
- Between segments, you’ll place one double crochet in the center stitch of the previous row’s 3-double-crochet clusters.
- Continue with the V stitches and 7 double crochets to the end of the row.
Repeating Rows:
- Continue repeating Rows 3 and 4, adjusting the number of chains for desired elongation, until you reach the desired size of the shawl.
Finishing:
- Finish off by cutting the yarn, pulling it through the loop, and weaving in the ends.
- Optionally, block the shawl for better definition and drape.
