• Crochet Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 22 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in double crochet (dc)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring to begin your shawl. This will be the center of your shawl.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 11 double crochets into the magic ring. Join the round with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-3. You should have a total of 12 double crochets.
3. Round 2: Chain 3, work 1 double crochet in the same stitch, then work 2 double crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. You will have 24 double crochets at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: Chain 3, work 1 double crochet in the same stitch, then *work 1 double crochet in the next stitch, followed by 2 double crochets in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 36 double crochets now.
5. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner, adding one more double crochet between increases for each subsequent round until you reach a total of 120 double crochets.
6. Transition to Flame Motifs: Chain 3, then *skip 2 stitches, and in the next stitch, work (1 double crochet, chain 1, 1 double crochet), chain 1; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch to complete the round.
7. Work Flame Motifs: Continue to work 5 rounds of flame motifs, increasing as needed to maintain the shape of the shawl. Ensure that the motifs are evenly spaced and that the shawl remains triangular.
8. Edge with Scalloped Border: To finish, work *5 double crochets in the next chain-1 space, then slip stitch in the next chain-1 space; repeat from * around the entire edge of the shawl.
9. Final Touches: Once you have completed the scalloped border, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends to secure your work.
