Vibrant colors are combined with a romantic stitch pattern for a shawl you’ll love any season of the year. Crochet it and enjoy it, or enjoy giving it to someone special.
Gauge/Tension: GAUGE: 3 pattern repeats and 1 sc = 4” (10 cm) (one pattern repeat consists of one double Love knot and one single crochet); 5 rows = 4” (10 cm). CHECK YOUR GAUGE. Use any size hook to obtain the gauge.
Shawl measures 64” across top edge x 38”
long (162.5 x 96.5 cm), excluding edging.
Notes
1. Shawl is worked from neck edge down,
decreasing one double Love knot in each
row.
2. A Love knot is made from two stitches: a
long chain and a single crochet worked
into the back bar of the chain.
3. When instructed to work into the second
single crochet of a double Love knot,
work into the single crochet centered
between the two knots.
4. Edging is worked in rounds with right side
facing.

Summer of Love Shawl – what does the abbreviation DLk stand for.
Hi Mary,
It is for the double love knot stitch, which can be found in the special stitches section. For some reason part of it was not showing up – I have fixed that. Here is the information:
Shawl measures 64” across top edge x 38”
long (162.5 x 96.5 cm), excluding edging.
Notes
1. Shawl is worked from neck edge down,
decreasing one double Love knot in each
row.
2. A Love knot is made from two stitches: a
long chain and a single crochet worked
into the back bar of the chain.
3. When instructed to work into the second
single crochet of a double Love knot,
work into the single crochet centered
between the two knots.
4. Edging is worked in rounds with right side
facing.
