Pattern instructions
MAGIC CIRCLE:
When piece is worked in the round, start with this
technique to avoid hole in the middle (instead of ch-ring):
Hold the yarn end and wind the yarn one time around the
index finger to make a loop. Hold the loop with left
thumb and middle finger, place the yarn over left index
finger. Insert hook through the loop, make a YO and pull
yarn through loop, ch 3, then work 11 dc around the loop.
Pull yarn end to tighten the loop. Fasten the yarn end on
the back side.
CROCHET TIP: Replace 1 hdc at beg of round with 2
ch.
SHAWL:.
Work a magic circle with 12 dc on hook size 5 mm / H/8
– see explanation above. Turn.

dc + ch 1 in first and last ch).
Work next row as 13th row but work 3 dc + ch 1 more
between every top/bottom in pattern.
Work 3 rows in total like this, then inc again.
Continue like this upwards, on every 4th row inc in every
