Materials Needed

• Yarn: Fingering weight yarn (soft, muted lavender color recommended)
• Hook: Size G/6 (4.0 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 broomstick lace loops = 2 inches
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 200 stitches. Ensure your chain is not too tight to allow for easy movement in the stitches.
2. Row 1: In the second chain from the hook, make a single crochet. Continue to single crochet in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Insert your hook into the first stitch of Row 1. Yarn over and pull up a loop, then place that loop onto your broomstick (or a large knitting needle). Repeat this process across the entire row, placing each loop onto the broomstick.
4. Row 3: Carefully slide the loops off the broomstick. Insert your hook into the first 5 loops, yarn over, and pull through all 5 loops at once. Chain 1, then single crochet 5 times into the same group of loops. Repeat this process across the row, making sure to maintain the same tension. Turn your work.
5. Row 4: Chain 1, then single crochet in each stitch across the row. This will create a solid base for your lacework. Turn your work.
6. Repeat Rows 2-4: Continue to repeat Rows 2 through 4 until your shawl measures your desired length. Remember to keep your tension consistent to maintain an even appearance.
7. Finishing Touch: Once you reach your desired length, finish with a final row of single crochet across the top edge of the shawl. This will give it a neat and polished look. Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle.
