Notes:
Shawl is triangular in shape and is worked from the apex to
the neckline.
Shawl MUST be blocked when finished to allow the stitches
to blossom.

Fingering weight yarn, approximately 550-600 yds.
5 mm hook, or size needed to achieve desired effect.
Stitch Abbreviations:
Ch = Chain
Sl st = slip stitch
Sc = single crochet

Sample shawl was crocheted by Denise Lavoie (Ravelry ID: Deniseworld) using Garnstudio
DROPS Kid-silk (laceweight) and hand-dyed wool lace weight held double. Edging was
crocheted using Trendsetter Yarns Dune. Final row of edging was beaded with size 3 Japanese
silver-lined beads. More information on Denises shawl can be found on her Ravelry Project
page (http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Deniseworld/green-belle-of-the-ball). My thanks to
Denise for working up such a beautiful sample and for providing editing support.
Instructions:
Note: Turn at the end of each row.
Chain 5. Join with sl st to first ch. Apex ring formed (Note: you will work into this apex ring
when doing the edging, so if choosing to begin with the magic ring technique, be sure not to
pull the ring too tightly).
