Gauge

You want a nice lace with a nice drape. The project starts at the top center and grows out, so trying to work to a particular gauge isn’t crucial.

Special Stitches

Long Single Crochet (long sc): Insert hook under the ch-6 sp from the row below, yarn over, pull loop through, yarn over, pull through 2 loops on hook. You will be joining together the ch-6 sp and the ch-4 sp above it.

Note

Project is made from the point with increasing on each row. It is a standard triangle shape. It can be made in any yarn type or weight, with appropriate hook. Work any number of rows for the size desired.

A gradient yarn cake is used which means that the color changes you see are made with the yarn itself. If you prefer to substitute yarn, you can use whatever color(s) you like and change colors as you desire, or alternatively, use one solid color throughout.
