Notes
• Pattern has been written using US crochet terminology.
• Yarn is not carried along the side at any point.
• This shawl is worked with two methods. First, you’ll create an asymmetrical triangle, increasing one stitch along one edge of each row. Then, once the shawl body with bobbles is complete, you’ll work one last row and rotate your work 90 degrees clockwise to work into the side of the shawl body. At that point you’ll continue the border as a traditional top-down symmetrical triangle, with four increases on each row.
• While the sample was created with DK-weight yarn, this piece can be made with any weight. Just adjust hook size accordingly for a resulting fabric that isn’t too tight/rigid. When using other weights, increase or decrease stitch repeats as needed and desired.
