Crochet Shawls: Circular Pattern

-
Crochet shawls: A favorite pattern. Being made from the centre, it is a good
plan to work the first few rounds fairly closely, while gradually relaxing the
stitch until the desired tension is obtained; this prevents the bulgy effect
which is so easily produced in a shawl of this type.
Materials: -
- 7 ozs. 2-ply Beehive Real Eider Wool, if using all white, or 4 ozs. of white
and 1.5 ozs. each of two shades of stell grey, or natural, if a shaded border
be desired.
- A no.8 Celluloid Crochet Hook.
Commencing at the centre of the shawl, make 8 ch., join the 1st to the last
with 1 S.C. to form a ring.
1st round - Make 3 ch. (this standing throughout the pattern for the first
tr. stitch), then work 1 tr. and 1 ch. thirteen times, finishing this (and each
succeeding) round with 1 S.C. in the top of the 3 ch., continue without turning.
2nd round - Miss the space from which the 3 ch. is made and work 1 tr., 1 ch.,
1 tr. and 1 ch. between each tr. of the previous round, finishing with 1 tr.
and 1 ch. into the same space as the 3 ch., making 28 tr. altogether.
3rd round - * 1 tr., 1 ch., 1 tr. and 1 ch. in the 1st space (after the 3 ch.),
1 tr. and 1 ch. in the next space, repeat from * all round.
4th round - Work a loop tr. into the 1st space (after the 3 ch.) as follows:-
* Wool over the hook and draw a loop through the space, wool over the hook and
draw a second loop through the same space, wool over the hook and draw a loop
through all the stitches on the hook, 1 ch., repeat from * once more into the
same space; 1 tr. and 1 ch. in each of the next 2 spaces, repeat from the first
* of this round until the end of the round is reached (there should then be
14 groups of loop trebles, with the 2 tr. and 1 ch. between each).
Continue repeating this round, always working the groups of loop tr. into
those of the previous round and working 1 tr. and 1 ch. into each space between
the groups; there will be an extra 1 tr. and 1 ch. between each space in every
additional round.

When there are 22 tr. betwen each looped tr. rib, commence the border as follows:
