Sample shawl was crocheted by Denise Lavoie (Ravelry ID: Deniseworld) using Garnstudio DROPS Kid-silk (laceweight) and hand-dyed wool lace weight held double. Edging was crocheted using Trendsetter Yarns Dune. Final row of edging was beaded with size 3 Japanese silver-lined beads. More information on Denise’s shawl can be found on her Ravelry Project page (http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Deniseworld/green-belle-of-the-ball). My thanks to Denise for working up such a beautiful sample and for providing editing . Instructions: Note: Turn at the end of each row. Chain 5. with sl st to first ch. Apex ring formed (Note: you will work into this apex ring when doing the edging, so if choosing to begin with the magic ring technique, be sure not to pull the ring too tightly). Row 1
