Description
Caron Yarn's Flower Shawl (without the flowers) in Caron's Simply Soft white.

Here's a nice 4-day project. Finally got me enough of the same sort of yarn to make this. I've been wanting a shawl for a while, I love shawls. I used to have a white one when I was a kid.
The pattern had tassels on it, but I opted for scalloped edges instead. I hate tassels. And no one I talked to could convince me otherwise. haha.

Blue ribbon is just there because I don't have a shawl pin.

I'm nearly convinced women make shawls just to feel like their being hugged all day...

Caron Shawl Pattern

Shawl
Beginning at upper edge, ch 256.
Row 1: Dc in 6th ch from hook (beginning ch counts dc, ch 1), *ch 1 sk next ch, dc in the next ch; repeat from * across, turn--- 121 ch-1 sps, and 122 dc.
Row 2 (decrease): Sk first dc, sl st in first ch1 sp, sl st in next dc, ch 4 (count as as dc, ch 1), sk next ch-1 sp, dc in next dc, *ch 1, sk next ch-1 sp, dc in next dc; repeat from * across to last ch-1 sp, turn; leave remaining sts unworked --- 119 ch-1 sps, and 120 dc. Repeat Row 2 until only 1 ch-1 sp and 2 dc remain.
Fasten off.

Edging:
With RS facing, join yarn in upper corner to work across a side edge.
Round 1: Ch 1, sc in same st as join, [sc evenly across side edge to next corner 3 sc in next corner] twice, sc evenly across upper edge of shawl, 2 sc in same corner st as first sc; join with sl st in first sc; do NOT fasten off.
Row 2: With RS facing, working in opposite direction (from left to right if right-handed, right to left if left-handed), work rev sc in each sc across upper edge of shawl
Fasten off.

Kit’s modification:
As the pattern originally called for fringe, and I have a great dislike for fringe, I instead scalloped the edges, and ran a row of sc and a row of rev sc at the top. Before their edging step:
Fasten yarn to corner, so that you will work down the edge. In the ‘square’ left by a decrease: sc *hdc, dc, tr, tr, dc, hdc, then sc in the space between the squares; repeat from *. Two scallops for the point, and then repeat up the other side and fasten off.
