Materials Needed

• Yarn: Lightweight DK yarn in cream
• Hook: Size H/8 (5mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 motifs = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 120 stitches. Ensure that your chain is not too tight, as this will affect the drape of your shawl.
2. Row 1: In the 6th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Then, *chain 2, skip the next 2 chains, and make a dc in the next chain; repeat from * across the entire row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Begin by chaining 5 (this counts as your first dc and a chain 2). Now, *make a dc in the next dc from the previous row, then chain 2; repeat from * across the row. Make sure to end this row by making a dc in the 3rd chain of your turning chain. Turn your work again.
4. Repeat Rows: Continue to repeat Row 2 until your shawl measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length. Remember to check your gauge periodically to ensure consistency in your stitches.
5. Finishing Touch: Once you have reached your desired length, finish with a row of single crochet (sc) around the entire edge of the shawl. This will create a neat border and help prevent any curling of the edges.
6. Final Steps: Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle. This will give your shawl a polished look.

And there you have it! Your very own Elegant Lace Crochet Shawl is complete. Enjoy wearing your beautiful creation or gifting it to someone special!
