Materials Needed
- Yarn: DK weight, 100% merino wool
- Crochet Hook: Size G/6 (4.0 mm)
- Gauge: 16 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in wave pattern
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 240 stitches. Ensure that your chain is not twisted and that it is loose enough for the stitches to flow easily.
- Row 1:
- In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc).
- Next, *chain 1, skip the next chain, and make a dc in the following chain; repeat from * across the row.
At the end of Row 1, you should have a series of dc stitches with chain spaces in between. Turn your work.
- Row 2:
- Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc), then make a dc in the next dc from the previous row.
- Now, *chain 1, skip the next chain-1 space, and make a dc in the next dc; repeat from * across the row.
Turn your work at the end of this row.
- Row 3:
- Chain 3, then make a dc in the next dc.
- Repeat the pattern: *chain 1, skip the next chain-1 space, and make a dc in the next dc; repeat from * across the row.
Turn your work.
- Row 4:
- Chain 3, then dc in the next dc.
- Continue with the same pattern: *chain 1, skip the next chain-1 space, and dc in the next dc; repeat from * across the row.
Turn your work.
- Repeating Rows: Repeat Rows 2 to 4 until your shawl measures approximately 60 inches in length. This will create the beautiful wave-like texture that mimics the flowing river.
- Finishing: Once you reach the desired length, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle. This will give your shawl a clean and polished look.
