Bright Crochet Shawl
You’ll need:
1 skein of Katia Spring Rainbow yarn cake which is 4 ply and 600m/ 656 yds;
Crochet hook 3,5 mm.
Sizes after blocking:
Height: 70cm / 28”
Width: 165cm / 65”
Stitches control: 16 sts x 10 rows = 4" x 4".
Notes
The first 3 chains at the start of every row count as 1 dc
Double crochet stitches above the chains are worked around the chains instead of inserting your hook through the loops.
The last stitches of a row are made in the third chain of the previous row (or 2 if you only made 2 ch in the previous row).
