Materials Needed

• Yarn: Medium weight (4) yarn in blue
• Hook: 5.0 mm (H) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 inches = 14 stitches in pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 30 stitches. Ensure your chain is not too tight, as this will affect the overall drape of the shawl.
2. Row 1: In the 3rd chain from the hook, make 1 double crochet (dc). Then, continue to make 1 dc in each of the remaining chains across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work to begin the next row.
3. Row 2: Chain 2 (this counts as your first dc). Now, *make a front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next stitch, followed by a back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next stitch; repeat from * across the row. This creates the textured pattern. When you reach the end, turn your work again.
4. Repeat Rows: Continue repeating Row 2 until your piece measures approximately 20 inches in height. This will give your shawl the desired length and texture.
5. Create the Scalloped Edge: To finish off your shawl, start by chaining 3. Then, *skip 2 stitches, make 5 double crochets (dc) in the next stitch, skip 2 stitches, and slip stitch in the next stitch; repeat from * across the row. This will create a beautiful scalloped edge that enhances the elegance of your shawl.
6. Finish Off: Once you have completed the scalloped edge, finish off your work by cutting the yarn, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last loop to secure it. Finally, weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to ensure a clean finish.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Crochet Textured Blue Shawl. Enjoy wearing it or gifting it to someone special!
