Make upBoth versions: Linking picot edges together either by sewing or with a crochet hook and taking care to match pattern, join triangles into 4 squares for Shawl or 6 squares for Cot Blanket.

Shawl: Join these squares into one large square. Sew marked edges of border to Shawl, gathering shorter sections between markers for corners, then sew border seam neatly.

Cot Blanket: Join these squares to form an oblong two squares wide by three squares long. Sew marked edges of border to shawl, gathering shortest sections between markers for corners, then sew border seam neatly.

This is a photo of a sample square of the SHAWL pattern. It is a) slip stitched together with a contrasting yarn, and b) the triangles are different coloured. The final blanket (for it will be a blanket, not a shawl) will have all squares made up of four different coloured triangles and will be assembled with black yarn. That wooden stick across the lower triangle is a one-foot ruler. The square itself is almost 30 inches across … not stretched and not bordered. It’s done with worsted weight acrylic yarn on old Boye US #8 needles. Jessica-Jean 14 August 2011
