Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Begin with a magic ring: Make a loop with your yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull through to create your first stitch.
2. Round 1: Chain 4 (this counts as your first treble crochet (tr) and a chain 1). Now, *work 1 tr into the magic ring, chain 1; repeat from * a total of 10 more times. You should have 12 tr and 12 chain-1 spaces. Join the round by slipping stitch (sl st) into the 3rd chain of your beginning chain-4.
3. Round 2: Slip stitch into the first chain-1 space. Chain 4 (counts as your first tr), then work 1 tr in the same space. Chain 1. Now, *work 2 tr in the next chain-1 space, chain 1; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st to the 3rd chain of your beginning chain-4.
4. Continue increasing: Continue this pattern, increasing the number of tr in each chain-1 space by 1 in each round. For example, in Round 3, you will work 3 tr in the next chain-1 space, and so on. Keep crocheting until your shawl reaches your desired size.
5. Finish with a scalloped edge: To create a decorative edge, *work 1 single crochet (sc) in the next chain-1 space, then 5 double crochets (dc) in the next tr, and finish with 1 sc in the next chain-1 space; repeat from * around the entire shawl.
6. Fasten off: Once you have completed the scalloped edge, cut your yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it. Use your tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends.
