Pattern instructions : (Using U.S terminology)

Please note that I start all my rows with a ch 1, turning chain for ease.

Please check the top of this blog (as well as through the blog) for easy video tutorials on all stitches used in today's pattern.

Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.

Today, we’re creating a triangular shawl with a really simple stitch.

This pattern is worked over two rows – one that has chain loops / spaces and the next one that fills in those chain spaces with (dc) stitches… and then this lovely tendril flowing border. I loved working on this pattern.

The beauty of this pattern is that you can work it for as long / wide as you want or till you run out of yarn ;)

The video for this free pattern is not in English – but it is very well taken, and you do not need to hear what she is saying – just follow the stitches.

The pattern details are available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mROuz_DLJxI

Have a fun creative day too.
