In the first row, you need to perform 5 air loops to lift the row (lifting loops, lifting loops), the same number of air loops and 3 double crochets in the initial ring of 9 loops. Knitting continues like this: 5 air loops, a column with three crochets in a ring.
- The second row of the triangular shawl begins with 4 lifting loops, followed by: 4 more air loops; single crochet in an arch of 5 air loops; a dozen air loops and a single crochet in the next arch; 4 air loops and a double crochet in the fifth air lifting loop of the first lower row.
- Third row: 5 lifting loops and the same amount of air; 3 double crochet in an arch of four links; 5 air loops; single crochet in an arch of ten air loops; 5 air loops; 3 double crochet into the next arch; 5 more air loops and a column with three crochets in the fourth lifting loop of the lower row.
