Continuing the Pattern
Now that you've established the rhythm, here's how to continue:
- On RS rows: Work edge increases (3 dc in first and last st), and add one more Celtic Twist motif every row.
- On WS rows: Work straight dc with edge increases only.
Continue in this pattern until the shawl measures approximately 28 inches from the foundation chain, ending with a WS row. At this point, you will have about 15 Celtic Twist motifs across the row.
Pro Tip: To add a Celtic Twist, simply count your stitches and place the twist in the center of each section between the previous twists. The pattern naturally expands as you add more stitches.
Adding the Beautiful Border
Once your shawl body is complete, it's time to add the finishing touch—a scalloped shell border that frames the entire piece.
Border (RS): Do not turn. With MC, work a border around the entire shawl:
Round 1: Ch 1, sc evenly around all edges, working 3 sc in each corner. Join with sl st to first sc.
Round 2: Ch 3, 2 dc in same st, sk 2 sts, [shell in next st, sk 2 sts]
