:AP -UK ENGLISH TERMS - created by Denise. Many thanks for her he
Today's date: June 28, 2012 (updated 7/2013 to remove watermark - no other changes) This draft may still include written instructions that are being morphed into shorthand. I'm working on those as I can. Ill be adding another border. I injured my hand, so the timeline isn't certain. Please link your project to the Ravelry Pattern Page: Mezzaluna Shawl, and please take a look at the finished shawls that have been linked to the pattern page. Everyone is really doing a beautiful job. I recently finished a wrap using a fingering yarn with a 6.Omm hook. That project page is: Mezzaluna (Crescent Moon) Shawl. It blocked out a little bit bigger than I expected, but I really like it. I'm currently working on a lace weight shawl from the pattern and that is coming out well. Do not hesitate to point out any errors you find. This is still a work in progress and you will be helping everyone if you let me know that you found that something is wrong somewhere in this pattern. Feedback is important for us all and won't hurt my feelings. I'd like this pattern to be workable for everyone reading it. Thanks! Nancy PLEASE NOTE: This pattern requires some patience because you're counting in almost every row. I found it helpful to count where the increases will be placed and then mark those stitches. That way you don't have to worry about having to count every stitch as you crochet. I've made notes (and stitch counts) for each row and I hope those notes will help. Each row will increase at both the beginning and at the end of the row. Stitches are UK English crochet. Abbreviations used: \* = marks the beginning and end of a repeating sequence of stitches () = number of times to perform an action. [] = surrounds pattern or stitch notes. SK or sk = skip ST or st = stitch CH or ch = chain DC or dc = double crochet HTR or hTR = half-Treble crochet TR or tr = treble crochet DTR or dtr = triple crochet V = v-stitch (Treble crochet, chain one, treble crochet in the same stitch as the first treble crochet.) BB or bb = bobble or cluster. Only you know how puffy you want your bobbles to be. Use your own favorite bobble, popcorn, puff stitch or you can try this 3 HTR Cluster: Yarn over, insert hook into the indicated stitch, pull up a loop and bring to the height of your work (3 loops on hook). Repeat twice (you'll have 7 loops on the hook). Yarn over, draw through all loops, chain 1 to secure the stitch. (COUNT: ) = number of stitches in the row. Normally, this will not include chains or chain spaces.
Materials needed:
Approximately 600-900 yards of yarn. You may want to take a look at some of the finished wraps on Ravelry to see what others have made to help determine the yardage and yarn weight that will be best for your wrap. I've used both fingering and lace weight and an appropriate hook with good results. Foundation: [Chain and double Crochet to create the foundation row. You can use FDC if you prefer.] Chain 61. Turn. Working in the back ridge of the chain (this is the back spine on the reverse side, NOT the back loop), DC in the 2nd ridge from the hook, continuing to the end of the chain. Turn. [Regarding gauge: This is the only place where gauge is going to be important. The foundation should be approximately 9.5 inches in length. If it isn't, move up or down a hook or two to get to that gauge.] (COUNT: 60 DC total.) Row 1: [This is a Treble Crochet, Chain 1 row with 4 V-stitch increases.] Chain 5.

BORDER:
[This is worked as double crochet and picot stitches. ] With the right side up, with the neck facing you, attach yarn at the right side tip. WORK THE OUTSIDE CURVE FIRST: DC in each stitch until you reach the other tip. (Count: 371 DC's) DO not tuRn. CH 1. WORK THE NECKLINE CURVE: Alternate DC and picots until you reach the other tip. I don't see any reason why you shouldn't use your favorite picot and just space them evenly across the shawl. The picture shows a double crochet between each picot. This is the picot described in the pattern:
Picot: DC in the next stitch. Chain 3,insert your hook into the front loops of the DC that you just made (see pictures) above. There will be 3 loops on your hook. Yarn over, pull through all 3 loops. Make a DC in the next stitch, repeat to until you get to the other end. EDGINGS - THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT VERSIONS. One is α clover dangle, the other is lacy. [I'll add a third of my own, but these are the ones that are original to the pattern.]
With the right side facing, attach yarn at the right side tip.
