Here is an adaptation to the shawl, if you don’t like so much ruffling and/or want the yarn to last a little longer.
Work Rounds 5 and 6 twice, working into the ch-5 spaces as needed. Then work a Round 7. If you want to, it might even work out with yet another repeat of Rounds 5 and 6 (that is, you’d be working Rounds 5 and 6 3 times before working Round 7, which is the Dogwood round). I am experimenting with it, and it seems to be working out fairly well.
This is the last clue of our wonderful, month-long CAL! Everyone has been wonderful, and I may post some adaptations so that we can get the yarn to stretch out a bit longer and to cut down on some of the rufflage. Anyway, here is the last clue, which is the very last round: The Edging.
Edging: Sl st into ch-2 sp, ch 2, (dc2tog, ch 5, sl st in 4th ch from hook—picot made, 3-dc cl, p, 3-dc cl) in same sp, *(ch 5, sc in next ch-4 sp) 4 times, ch 5, (3-dc cl, ch 5, sl st in 4th ch from hook) twice in ch-2 sp, 3-dc cl in same sp. Rep from * around, join w/ sl st to top of 3-dc cl. Finish off. Block according to fiber manufacturer’s instructions.
Border:
Rnd 1: Sl st to ch-2 sp of shell, beg-shell, *(5dc, ch 3, 5dc) in ch-5 sp, shell in shell. Rep from * around, join w/ sl st to top of ch-3.
Rnd 2: Sl st to ch-2 sp of shell, beg-shell, *ch 5, (4dc, ch 3, 4dc) in ch-3 sp, shell in shell. Rep from * around, join w/ sl st to top of ch-3.
Rnd 3: Sl st to ch-2 sp of shell, beg-shell, *ch 4, sc in 3rd ch of ch-5, ch 4, (3dc, ch 3, 3dc) in ch-3 sp, ch 4, sc in 3rd ch of ch-5 sp, ch 4, shell in shell. Rep from * around, join w/ sl st to top of ch-3.
Rnd 4: Sl st to ch-2 sp of shell, beg-shell, *ch 4, (sc in ch-4 sp, ch 4) twice, shell in ch-3 sp, ch 4, (sc in ch-4 sp, ch 4) twice, shell in shell. Rep from * around, join w/ sl st to top of ch-3.
Rnd 5: Sl st to ch2 sp of shell, ch 5, dc in same sp, *(ch 4, sc in ch-4 sp) 3 times, ch 4, (dc, ch 2, dc) in ch-2 sp of shell. Rep from * around, join w/ sl st to 3rd ch of ch-5.
