Shawl Pattern

Size: Teen/Adult

Using “J” Hook, Ch 202.

Row 1: Work 1 sc in the second stitch from the hook and in each chain across the row. Ch 1.

Row 2: Work 1 sc in the 1st stitch, *skip 4 ch, work 9 tr st in next ch 9 (this forms the beautiful “peacock tail”), skip 4 ch, 1 sc in the next ch*. Repeat from * to *. (This should have created 20 “peacock tails”.) Turn,

Row 3: Ch 4. Work 1 tr st in the first sc, *work 3 ch, skip 4 tr st, 1 sc in next tr (this is the center tr st of 9), ch 3, skip 4 tr, 2 tr in the next sc.*. Repeat from * to * across the row to the last sc. Work 2 tr st in the last sc. Turn.

Row 4: Ch 1, work 1 sc in the space between the first two tr st. *Skip 3 ch, work 9 tr st in the next sc, skip 3 ch, work 1 sc in sp between 2 tr.*. Repeat from * to * to the end of the row. Work 1 sc in the space between the last tr and the turning ch. Turn.

Repeat Rows 3 and 4 until you have the shawl the size you would like, BUT, end with Row 3!!! ( I repeated Rows 3 and 4 9 more times, for a total of 10. You can easily check by counting the “peacock tails”)

**I also chose to do the last 3 rows in the darker purple. But, it is totally personal preference if and where you would like to change colors!

Fasten off and weave in ends.

This stitch looks different on the back side, and it is equally beautiful! So, don’t hesitate to wear it either way!!

Happy Spring

Enjoy!
