Fall Shawl CAL 2016 ~ Part One

Abbreviations

Ch – Chain

Dc –Double Crochet

Fpdc – Front Post Double Crochet

Special Technique

Adjustable-Ring Method – Wrap yarn into a ring, ensuring that the tail falls behind the working yarn. Hold ring firmly between middle finger and thumb. Insert hook through center of ring, yarn over (with working yarn) and draw up a loop. Work stitches of first round in the ring, working over both strands (the tail and ring). After first round of stitches are worked, pull gently, but securely on tail to tighten ring.

Notes – Chain 3 counts as a dc unless otherwise stated
