- Chain 5. Make 4 dc in the next ch-2 space. Chain 3, then make 4 dc in the next ch-2 space. Repeat across the row. Chain 2 and make 1 dc in the top of the ch-3. Turn.
- Chain 4. Make 4 dc in the ch-2 space. In the next ch-3 space, work (4 dc, ch 2, 4 dc) all in that same space. Repeat until you reach the last space. Make 4 dc in the last ch-2 space. Chain 1, then make 1 dc in the 3rd chain of the ch-5. Turn.
- Chain 3. Make 2 dc in the ch-1 space. Chain 3. Make 4 dc in the next ch-3 space, then chain 3. Repeat across the row until you reach the last space. Make 2 dc in the ch-1 space. Make 1 dc in the 3rd chain of the ch-4. Turn.
- Repeat Rows 2–5 until the shawl measures 16 inches from the beginning. End by working Row 2.
- Chain 1. Make 1 sc in the dc. Chain 3, then make 1 sc in the next ch-2 space. Chain 5, then make 1 sc in the next ch-2 space. Repeat the ch-5 and sc sequence across the row until you reach the last space. Chain 3, then make 1 sc in the top of the ch-3. Fasten off. Use a yarn needle to weave in the ends securely.
Notes
The spacing established in Row 1 creates the openings used for the later clusters. The open spaces give the shawl a lovely light feel, and the multicolor yarn makes the pattern interesting without extra color changes.
