You can check all the details about the Pax shawl TCAL, HERE.
Lets begin!
Follow the instructions for PAX SHAWL:
- You will chain 235,
- Insert hook in second chain from hook in the back bump, yarn over pull up a loop, (insert hook in next chain yarn over, pull up a loop) repeat the instructions in the ( ) till you have 19 loops on the hook, including the first loop.

- Repeat () once more by inserting into the 21st chain for a total of 20 loops. Now you yarn over , pull through 2 loops, repeat this until you have one loop on hook. This is one row

- Repeat this again but now you will be inserting into the 2nd vertical bar and continue all the way down until you have 19 loops. 20th loop will be picked up from the base chain. Repeat the return pass

- Next is short row. Pick up and work only 9 loops ( including the one on the hook) , work return pass.


- Next row pick up 19 loops total and for 20th loop go into the next base chain

- Repeat return pass
- Repeat short row

- Repeat full row twice

This is one repeat
Now again start working on other vertical bars.
This sequence will be like this
[ 2 full rows
1 short row
1 full row
1 short row
2 full rows]…. repeat
Only the full rows connect to base chain. Count the number of rows on the right side . You should have seven for each repeat.
Continue all the way till you reach the end of the base chain
This is chart A…
