PART 10: Angel wings finishing stitches x 2 Options

It's been fascinating to see how all The Angel wings Shawl look so different in shape and size. How the use of a particular yarn can make such a difference to the same pattern......

 Angel Wings  PATTERN Part 10 the finish, 2 options

OPTION 1:

NOTE: I'm not giving numbers of loops and picots for this finish, because you could all have a different number, having stopped at different places.

ROW 1: Turn, ch5,  sc [dc], into next sp, ch5, sc into next sp, repeat, to point, at ch2 point, sc [dc], ch5, sc [dc], into ch2 point, repeat ch5, sc into next sp to end, last sc [dc] goes into the sp between last 2sts.

ROW 2: Turn ch5, sc [dc], into first ch5 loop, repeat to end, Finish with a sl st into first ch st of the loop below

ROW 3:turn, sl st, into 3ch sts of the first loop (you are now in the correct place to start this row of ch5 loops)

 repeat the ch5 loops and sc sts to end of row,  finish with a sc [dc] in last ch5 loop.

ROW 4:turn, 3sc [3dc], into first ch5 loop, make a picot of ch3, sl st into the sc [dc], to complete the picot, making a tiny bobble,2sc [2dc], into the same ch5 loop, to complete the first picot detail, repeat in every ch5 loop to end

NOTE: Again no numbers of points as you could all have a different number, but you should all have an odd number of granny shells not and even number for this finish 

OPTION 2:

 ROW 1: Turn, sc [dc] in first sp, between the first 2 sts, 2tr [2dtr], ch3 2tr [2dtr], in next sp, between the granny shells, sc [dc] in next sp, between gs, complete to point, in ch2 point, 2tr [2dtr], ch3, 2tr, [2dtr], in same sp, sc [dc], in next sp, repeat to end fi is with a sc [dc], in last sp.

ROW 2: Turn, sc [dc], in next 2st, then 2sc [2dc], ch2, 2sc [2dc], in ch 3 point, sc [dc] in next 2 sts, sc [dc], into the sc [dc], in dip then repeat to end of row.

Where used this edging stitch first, on a Granny Square Blanket 

That completes the Angel Wings Shawl mini CAL
