Dalga Shawl by Nina Holubcova

Craft: Crochet

Wavy, motif-like wedges flow in a gradient of speckled and variegated shades to create an airy triangular shawl with a scalloped edge.

Construction Notes

The symmetrical triangular shawl is crocheted with motif-like wedge stitches in one piece, each motif worked over 
2 rows. The triangular shape with is achieved by adding one motif at the start of every other row

Merino gradient’s colors flow into each other from a light through speckled and variegated shades to a dark one by working a few rows of half-and-half motifs for smoother transitions.

The gauge is not crucial, but it will change the finished size, and may affect yarn consumption - how many rows can be worked with each color.
