How to crochet the Lace Crochet Shawl
You start the Lace Crochet Shawl from the small tip, increasing the width with each row. Use a 6 mm hook and medium weight yarn for this project. The shawl is worked in half double crochet stitches, with chain stitches creating an edging. As you progress, the stitch count increases on both even and odd rows.
For even rows, you place a stitch marker in the first stitch to help identify the last stitch you will not crochet into. Odd rows involve chaining for the edging and working half double crochet stitches across. You can also use a stitch marker to identify the final stitch on even rows to avoid crocheting into it.
After completing the main body of the shawl, fasten off the threads and weave in the ends. Finally, block the shawl to the specified size to finish the project.

Instructions for the Lace Crochet Shawl
