Ladderback Shawl

I love this treble crochet shawl, it is extra long and with multiple ties you can create several looks including cowl and hood looks, a tiny snowman is sewn on one end. This uses white and silver holiday yarn. It is about 70 90 inches long.

Cast on 164 x2=328 stitches or enough so length is 90 inches with stretched very slightly and the width is going to be 12 inches when slightly stretched if you make it 10 rows wide. It would probably be even more beautiful if you added two more rows for a total of 12 rows, bigger than this might be overwhelming although and reminiscent to a blanket. To check gauge cast on about 10 stitches and chain into the 4th chain from hook, skip a stitch triple crochet into next stitch, skip one stitch, triple crochet, skip one, Triple crochet once more which will be equal to 4 triple crochet and 2.25"

I will update this post with the placing of the string ties asap. There will be 6-8 inch fringe ends on both edges or ends lengthwise and pom pom embellishments on the tie ends, mine only has two pom poms but it really needs to have four, one pair for each set of ties at the neckline.
Fringe ends are looped and pulled through with a crochet hook, I will include a link for this asap.
