* Continue to repeat rows 12-19(ending with an numbered row) to make the shawl as big as you like. The repetition of sections inside parenthesis increase by 2 with each additional pattern repeat.

Work 2 rows of HDC to finish the main body of the shawl.  Make 2 HDC in the first and last stitch of each row

Edging

1. With right side facing connect yarn to the corner on your left and chain 3. DC in same space. Work down the side of the shawl evenly by DC in every row or so, there is no exact number. The shawl and edge should lay flat/relaxed. I averaged 1 DC in each SC row and 2 DC in each DC row. 2 DC in each of the 2 tip stitches. Continue to DC up the other side of the shawl until you reach the last space, then 2 DC into that.

2. Chain 3(this counts as a stitch) and turn. BPDC in the next. Alternate between DC and BPDC down the side until you reach the middle two tip stitches. 2 DC in each stitch. Continue to alternate DC and BPDC up the other side of the shawl.

3. Chain 3 and turn. FPDC in each previously BPDC stitch and DC in each DC stitch. This will create ridges along the edging one the right side of the shawl. 2 DC in each of the middle 2 tip stitches. Continue up the other side of the shawl in the same fashion. If you would like your edging to be wider repeat rows 2 and 3.

4. Chain 1 and turn. 1 SC in each DC and 1 BPSC in each previous FPDC. Continue all around the shawl and finish off. * The stitch used for the edging may tend to curl a bit. Block if desired.
