Lavender Pineapple and Filet Triangular Shawl / Headscarf — Japanese Symbol Chart Finished size: 126 cm wide x 50 cm deep. Materials: cream-yellow cotton-blend yarn, 155 g; 2.5 mm (Japanese 4/0) hook. Gauge: one pattern repeat (8 squares) = 8 cm; 12.5 rows = 10 cm. Method 1. Ch 2 as the starting point at the bottom point of the triangle. 2. Working in the pattern (filet mesh squares of dc and ch, with pineapple motifs of ch loops rising out of fans of dc), increase at both ends of every row and work 60 rows in total. The pattern repeats over 8 rows. 3. Without breaking the yarn, work edging A along the top and edging B down the two slanted sides all the way around. Edging B is worked in the first row of the pattern and, apart from row 60, is attached every 2 rows, anchoring each fan to the chain at the edge of the pattern so the shells sit evenly. Worked small the same chart makes a headscarf; worked larger it becomes a full shawl.
Notes
The creator's own notes: ties are ch 51 with 50 sl st worked back; 2.0 mm hook in a lavender colourway. Size is fully adjustable by working more or fewer pattern repeats.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make it headscarf sized instead of shawl sized?
The triangle grows by increasing at both ends of every row, so simply stop earlier. The full shawl is 60 rows; a headscarf needs far fewer.
How are the ties made?
Chain 51 and work 50 slip stitches back along the chain for each tie, then attach one to each top corner.
What is the row repeat?
The pineapple pattern repeats over 8 rows, and one pattern repeat is 8 filet squares wide, which measures about 8 cm at the stated gauge.
When do I add the edging?
Do not break the yarn after the last pattern row. Edging A runs along the top and edging B down both slanted sides, attached every 2 rows so the shells sit evenly.
