Pattern Instructions

Shawl Body (Corner-to-Corner Variation)

Start:

1. Make a slip knot and ch 7.
2. Row 1:
   • Dc in 5th, 6th, 7th ch from hook (back loop only) for a group of 4 dc (the first 3 chains count as the 1st dc).
   • You have 1 “square”/block.
     Save
3. Turn.
4. Row 2:
   • Ch 8.
     (Last 3 ch = 1st dc, next 5 ch = for working into.)
   • Dc in 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th ch from hook (back loop only) for 4 dc.
   • Leave last ch unworked (bottom separation).
   • Ch 1 (top separation), rotate the block so the 3 starting chains are on top.
   • Join with sl st in chain space between previous row’s dc (right side of prior block).
   • Ch 4 (counts as 1 dc + 1 separation); dc 3 in same space to make another block.
   • You now have 2 blocks this row.

Subsequent Rows:

• Repeat this process:
  • Always begin with ch 8, work 4 dc across the new row’s starting chain, leave last chain unworked for bottom separation, and make 1 separation chain above.
  • Slip stitch to chain space of previous row blocks, ch 4, then 3 dc in same space.
  • Repeat ch 1 (top separation) + sl st + ch 4 + 3 dc in each chain space to end.
  • Do not chain separation after last block (to keep edge straight).
  • Each row increases one square/block.
    Save

Continue until:

• Shawl has 39 rows (or desired size):
  • 116 cm width / 48 cm depth.

Straight Top Edge

1. Row 40 (Straightening):
   • Ch 5 (last ch is turning chain, not a stitch).
   • Working into 2nd, 3rd, 4th ch: hdc, hdc, dc (all in back loop).
   • Ch 1 (separation).
   • Insert hook into space between dc and turning chain of prior block, sl st.
   • Ch 1, repeat hdc, hdc, dc, ch 1, sl st in each space across, ending at last block.
   • FO and secure.
     Save

Finishing and Weaving Ends

• Hide yarn tails neatly through the base of dc stitches vertically and horizontally, using a tapestry needle.
• Trim excess for a neat finish.
  Save

Tassel Making

1. Wrap yarn around cardboard (9 cm height) 35 times.
2. Cut an additional strand (~40–50 cm).
3. Slide this strand under wraps, tie in center tightly with a double knot.
4. Cut the bottom of the looped wraps to release strands.
5. Cut another strand of yarn (~40–50 cm) to wrap around head of tassel, tying and securing as desired.
6. Thread tails of head knot under core using tapestry needle for a neat finish.
7. Trim bottom to even out tassel.

• Attach one tassel to each cord end and at the shawl vertex as described below.

Cord Making

• With 6mm hook and double yarn:
  • Cut approx. 6 meters of yarn, fold in half.
  • Insert hook where finishing chains of shawl end.
  • Separate strands: hold one below, use other to ch (alternate strands for chain stitches).
    Save
  • Repeat for 40 chains, ending with both strands together.
  • Make one final chain with both strands, pull through and tighten.
  • Attach tassel as above using cord tails, knot tightly, and secure as with previous instructions.
    Save

Conclusion

The corner-to-corner lace shawl is now complete, finished with beautifully elastic cords and tassels. This airy yet cozy accessory can be worn in multiple styles. Cords and tassels give both practical closure and elegant flair.

Pattern Corrections & Tips

• Count squares each row to avoid missed increases.
• Turning chains: Always use Ch 8 at row starts; check for one unused chain at row ends.
• Join new blocks: Slip stitch in chain spaces for neat attachment.
• Cord length: Cut extra yarn to avoid running short; always use double strands.
• Tassel trimming: Comb out tassel strands before trimming for best appearance.
• Weaving ends: Use vertical and horizontal methods for openwork projects.
