Materials Needed

• Yarn: Fingering weight gradient yarn in fiery colors (red, orange, gold)
• Hook: 3.5mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 22 stitches and 28 rows = 4 inches in double crochet
• Scissors for cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring

To begin your shawlette, create a magic ring. This will be the foundation of your shawlette.

2. Row 1

Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then make 2 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. Turn your work.

3. Row 2

Chain 3, then make 2 dc in the first stitch. Now, double crochet across the row until you reach the last stitch, where you will make 2 dc again. Turn your work.

4. Continue Increasing

For the next rows, you will continue to increase by making 2 dc at each end of every row. Repeat this process until you have a total of 50 dc in your row.

5. Transition to Feather Motif

Now, we will start the feather motif:

• Row 1: Chain 3, then *skip 1 stitch, dc in the next stitch, chain 1*. Repeat this pattern across the row. Turn your work.
• Row 2: Chain 3, then *dc in the chain-1 space, chain 1*. Repeat this pattern across the row. Turn your work.

6. Continue Feather Motif

Continue this feather motif for a total of 20 rows, maintaining the pattern established in Rows 1 and 2.

7. Begin Asymmetrical Shaping

To create the asymmetrical shape of the shawlette:

• Row 1: Chain 3, then make a double crochet two together (dc2tog), followed by double crocheting across the row until you reach the last 2 stitches, where you will make another dc2tog. Turn your work.

Repeat this shaping for a total of 10 rows.

8. Edge with Picot Border

To finish your shawlette, create a delicate picot border:

• Chain 3, then slip stitch (sl st) into the same stitch.
• Next, *chain 3, sl st in the next stitch*. Repeat this pattern around the entire shawlette.

9. Final Touches

Once you have completed the picot border, fasten off your yarn and use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends.
