Schematic
Instructions
With Yarn 2 held double, chain 226 + 3 turning chains. Continue working with a single strand of yarn in the main pattern. At the same time, to shape the piece, starting in row 2, decrease on both sides in each row 22 times, alternating 1 x 2 sts and 1 x 3 sts. On the remaining 6 sts, finish the work after 60 cm = 45 rows from the starting row.
Finishing
Using yarn held double, embroider 6 flowers evenly spaced on the shawl as desired or as shown in the photo. To do this, work “daisy” stitches from the center of the flower outward, varying the size and number of petals. First work the large flower circle, then work the inner flower.
Work 2 rows of sc in dark green Yarn 1 around the slanted sides of the shawl, then weave 1 fringe bundle into every 3rd sc (= fold 1 dark green and 1 blue strand of Yarn 1, each 70 cm long, in half and weave in). The finished fringe length is approx. 33 cm.
