​Irish Crochet Shawl

1. Shawl is made of 10 Motifs that are joined into a rectangle of 2 rows with 5 Motifs in each row.

2. Motifs are worked in joined rounds, with RS always facing. Do not turn at the ends of rounds.

3. After working the First Motif, remaining Motifs are joined while working the last round (Rnd 8). No sewing is required.

4. The Second Motif is joined to the picots of the First Motif across one edge. Hold the First and Second motifs together with WS of Motifs together, sts matching, and RS of Second Motif facing you.

5. You will be joining Motifs 3-5 to form a strip of 5 Motifs. Motif 6 will be joined alongside one end of this strip. As you finish each Motif, determine which picots need to be joined to picots of neighboring Motifs. You may wish to place stitch markers in the picots of the neighboring Motifs to be joined. Hold this Motif and neighboring Motif(s) with WS of Motifs together, sts matching, and RS of this Motif facing you.
