Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your own Enchanted Garden Shawl:

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by making a foundation chain of 250 stitches. Ensure that your chain is not twisted.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Then, *chain 1, skip 1 chain, and dc in the next chain; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc), then *chain 1, skip the next chain-1 space, and dc in the next dc; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 3, dc in the next chain-1 space, then *chain 1, dc in the next dc, chain 1, and dc in the next chain-1 space; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work.
5. Rows 4-10: Repeat Rows 2 and 3, alternating colors every two rows to create a beautiful striped effect. Remember to change colors at the end of each row.
6. Row 11: Begin the floral motif section. Chain 3, then *dc in the next dc, chain 3, skip the next 2 dc, and single crochet (sc) in the next chain-1 space, chain 3; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work.
7. Row 12: Chain 3, then *dc in the next dc, chain 3, and sc in the next chain-3 space, chain 3; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work.
8. Rows 13-20: Continue in the established pattern, incorporating floral motifs by working 5-dc clusters in place of some chain-3 spaces to form petals. This will create a lovely floral effect throughout your shawl.
9. Finishing Touch: To create a scalloped border, chain 1, sc in the first dc, then *skip the next dc, make 5 dc in the next dc, skip the next dc, and sc in the next dc; repeat from * across the row. Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends to finish your shawl.
