My Newest Shawl Obsession: Square Shawl

My newest obsession is this triangle shawl pattern. So far all I have done is made bandanas with this pattern.

You could use almost any yarn, though I would not get too bulky, and use any appropriate hook.

First, make a magic ring, or make a ring of ch 4,

1) ch 2 (does not count) 10 dc in ring, turn

2) ch1, sc in first dc, ch 2, skip dc, sc between the 3rd and 4th dc. ch 3, sc between the 5th and 6th dc. (mark this sc) ch 3, sc between the 7th and 8th dc, ch 2, sc in the last sc.

3) ch 3 ( counts as dc), 2 dc in the next ch 2 space, ch 1, 4 dc in the next ch 3 space, ch 1( marker is moved to this ch 1 space), 4 dc in the next ch 3 sp, ch 1, 2 dc in the ch 2 space, dc in the last sc,

4) ch 1, sc in the first dc, ch 3, sc in the next ch 1 sp. Now let's make the tip increase: [ ch 3, sc between the 2nd and 3rd dc in the next 4 dc group. ch 3 sc in the marked ch sp, ch 3, sc between the 2nd and 3rd dc of the 4 dc group, ch 3, sc in the next ch 1 sp] from now on, this will be the tip increase.

Finish this row with a ch 3 and sc on top of the turning ch.

5) ch 3, 4 dc in the next ch 3 sp, [ch 1, 4 dc in the next dc] repeat until the last sc, dc in the last sc.

Note: move the marker to the center of ch 1 sp

6) ch 1, sc in the first dc, ch 2, sc between the 2nd and 3rd dc in the next 4 dc group (this in an increase done on the ends ) [ch 3, sc in the next ch 1 sp.] repeat until you reach the 4 dc group before the marked ch 1 space in the center. Do the tip increase. [ch 3, sc in next ch sp] repeat until you reach the last 4 dc group.

end with ch 3, sc between 2nd and 3rd dc of the last 4 dc group. ch 2, sc on top of ch 3.

7) ch 3, 2 dc in the next ch 2 sp, [ch 1, 4 dc in the next dc] repeat until the last ch 2 sp, 2 dc in the ch 2 sp, dc in the last sc.

8) ch 1, sc in the first dc, [ch 3, sc in the next ch 1 sp] repeat until you reach the 4 dc group before the marked ch 1 space in the center. Do the tip increase. [ch 3, sc in next ch sp] repeat across, end with a sc in the last dc.

9) ch 3, 4 dc in the next ch 3 sp, [ch 1, 4 dc in the next dc] repeat until the last sc, dc in the last sc.

Repeat Rows 6-9 until you have the desired length

I don't think it needs a border, but feel free to add fringe to the ch 1 spaces.

There will be a video tutorial on this pattern in the future.
