Techniques
The shawl "Nordseestrand" is very easy to crochet. The stitch pattern consists of single crochet
stitches only that are worked into the back loops. The shape is created by four increases per row.
The shawl is made top down and can be finished at any size. You can make it in one colour, with
stripes or with gradient yarn, just as you like.
Increases
Use waste yarn to mark where to increase. Work two sc into the back loop of the same stitch
in front of the marking thread. Bring your marking thread to the front or back of your work and
pull threads to move them up, when needed.
Additionally work 2 sc into the last stitch.
Changing colours
When working with several colours, add the new colour at the turning chain.
