instructions
The main part of the Marquise shawl (from dark red yarn) was made in crochet shell stitches according to Diagram 1 (schema 1). However, due to the thin yarn I was using, I changed the original pattern a little bit. So, instead of working shells of 4tr and ch2 as Diagram 1 shows , I worked my shells with 5tr and ch1. For the round motifs I followed Diagram 2 to the letter (schema 2).
Below you will find detailed written instructions for my version of the Marquise crochet shawl.
Central Part of the Shawl
Using dark red yarn, follow Diagram 1, and do a total of 24 rows like this:
Start by chaining 8 and close in a circle with a sl.st.
Row 1 – In the circle do ch5, 1tr, ch1, shell, ch5 (=corner), shell, ch1, 2tr. Turn.
Row 2 – Ch5, 1tr in next st, ch1, shell in ch1-space, then do ch1; in the corner do (shell, ch5, shell); continue along the other side: ch1, shell in next ch1-space, ch1, 2tr. Turn.
Row 3 – ch5, 1tr, (ch1, shell in next ch1-space)repeat to the corner. In the corner(ch1, shell, ch5, shell). Continue like this: (ch1, shell in next ch1-space)repeat to the last ch1-space. In the last ch1-space work ch1, shell, ch1, 2tr in next 2 sts. Turn.
From row 4 to 24 – repeat row 3.
