I was asked to make a shawl for a friend's grandmother, all she asked was that it be primarily pastel in color, this is what I came up with.Materials:
crochet hook size I
darning needle

4 skeins light country peach (CA)
1 skein persimmon (CB)

weave in ends as work progresses.
With CA, Ch 6
Row 1: 2dc in 4th ch from hook, ch 1 skip 1 ch, 3 dc in last ch, ch 3, turn.
Row 2: 2 dc in first dc, ch 1; In next ch-1 space work 3dc ch 1 3dc; ch 1, 3dc in top of turning ch, ch 3, turn.
Row 3: 2dc in first dc, ch 1; 3 dc in next ch-1 space (this creates a shell), in center ch-1 space work 3dc ch 1 3dc (this creates a center increase), ch 1, 1 shell in next space, ch 1, 1 shell in turning ch, ch 3, turn.
