3. Completing Your Shawl: Getting the Desired Length
To complete your shawl, it is crucial to achieve the desired length. The pattern suggests repeating rows 10 through 16 until you reach the desired size. These rows add the intricate details and give the shawl its characteristic look. So take your time, repeat these rows, and marvel at the stunning design taking shape in your hands.
4. Replacing Rows 15 and 16 with Finishing Rounds
Once you have reached the desired length, it's time to replace rows 15 and 16 with the finishing rounds. This adds the final touches to your shawl and ensures a polished and professional finish. While row 15 remains the same, row 16 introduces additional shell stitches and chain spaces. Follow the instructions carefully to create the perfect finishing rounds.
5. Starting Row 17 to Shape the Shawl
With the finishing rounds complete, it's time to shape your shawl further. Row 17 introduces new shell stitches and chain spaces to create a beautiful flare. The shawl will gradually widen, giving it an elegant and flowing look. Pay attention to the stitch counts and follow the pattern instructions to ensure precision.
6. Continuing with Rows 18 and 19: Shelling and Single Crocheting
As we move forward, rows 18 and 19 continue the shelling and single crocheting pattern. These rows maintain the delicate balance of stitches and help in maintaining the shape of the shawl. Be mindful of the repeats and the placement of shells in each row to achieve a harmonious and eye-catching result.
7. Closing the Shawl with Row 20
Row 20 marks the closing of the shawl. This row consists mostly of shell stitches, which are placed consecutively to bring the design together. Pay close attention to the repeats and ensure that each shell is placed accurately to maintain the symmetry of the shawl. As you progress through this row, you will see your shawl come to life, transforming into a stunning masterpiece.
8. Adding the Final Touch: Row 21
Finally, we have reached the last row of the Lost Soul Shawl. Row 21 provides the final touch to your shawl with a simple yet elegant pattern. It involves chaining and single crocheting to create beautiful spaces that add visual interest and delicacy to the design. Follow the instructions carefully, ensuring that each chain and single crochet is placed correctly, and watch as your shawl is transformed into a work of art.
