Pattern Instructions:

Step 1: Beginning the Shawl

1. Foundation Chain: Create 9 chains.
   • Start with a slip knot: “‘Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,’” (Optional for Islamic blessings).
   • Chain 9 stitches.
2. Base Row: In the 4th chain from the hook, make 1 double crochet.
   • Skip the next 3 chains and make 1 double crochet in the 4th chain. Continue to make another double crochet in the next chain until there are 5 double crochets in total.
3. Chains & Turn: Chain 3 stitches, turn your work, and repeat the row by making 5 double crochets per row, aligning them in the “pores” of the previous row.
   • Repeat this step for 166 rows to form the rectangular body.

Tip: Ensure your stitches are even for a neat look. Adjust the width or length by crocheting fewer or more rows depending on preference.

Step 2: Mesh Pattern Decor at Top

1. Start Mesh: After completing 166 rows, begin the mesh pattern.
   • Chain 5 stitches and make 1 double crochet between two rows of double crochet.
   • Chain 3 stitches and make another double crochet in the same space.
   • Chain 4 stitches, skip two rows of double crochet, and make 1 single crochet in the space just after two rows.
2. Repeat: Continue this rhythm of double crochets, single crochets, chains across the row to finish the first mesh row.
3. Build Mesh Rows: Turn your work and begin building rows using the above instructions. Repeat the process for 36 rows of decorative mesh.

Step 3: Single Crochet Border

1. Attach Yarn: Introduce a green yarn for the border.
   • Starting at the last row of mesh, pull the loop with green yarn, creating a connection.
2. Single Crochet Stitch: Add 2 single crochets between all edge stitches and space created in mesh rows.
   • Make 7 single crochets where there are chains of 7.
3. Repeat: Continue across the edge to evenly crochet the border, ensuring the same stitch count for both ends.

Step 4: Rose Pattern

1. Foundation Chain: Begin rose shape with 23 chains in pink/red yarn (or any choice of color).
2. Form Loops: Skip 7 chains, and in the 8th stitch, make a long double crochet by wrapping the yarn.
   • Chain 4, skip 1 chain, and make another long double crochet. Complete 8 loops in total.
3. Rows of Roses: Turn and make 6 double crochets within the first loop formed. Close it with 2 single chains. Continue adding 6 double crochets into each loop across all 8 loops.
4. Shape Rose: Finish off and carefully roll the completed flower with the flat side inward (as demonstrated in video). This forms the rose shape. Use a tapestry needle to secure the rose tightly together, stitching it at the base.

Step 5: Leaf Pattern

1. Foundation Ring: Begin with a small chain ring in green with 3 chains.
2. Fill Center: Add 8 handrails (double crochets) inside the ring. Secure tightly.
3. Leaf Shape:
   • Begin single crochet at the base. Use following stitches sequentially: single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet. Follow symmetry to create a sleek leaf like appearance.
4. Frame Leaf: Slip stitch around the edge to give a defined structure, ensuring durability and neat shaping.

Step 6: Assembly and Customization

1. Placement: Attach flowers and leaves along the edge of the shawl in a sequence. Use vibrant colors to give the shawl an ornamental finishing.
   • Sew flowers tightly so they do not shift or unravel.
2. Customization: For a personalized design, alter the length of mesh rows or embellishments. You may use beads or glitter thread for additional details.

Special Techniques:

1. Slip Stitch: Used to frame leaves or secure embellishments. It creates neat, non bulky finishing edges.
2. Floral Attachment: Sew flowers with a tapestry needle ensuring the base is secure and the shawl’s appearance is balanced.
