Crocheted shawl from a rainbow ball. The shawl has the shape of an asymmetrical triangle. There is a decorative border on the two longer sides. It is crocheted from the narrower edge, stitches are gradually added on one side and removed on the other. This creates a slightly bowed triangle shape.

We repeat rows 9-12 7 more times, or as you wish
I repeated until the color change.
For the next 28 rows, I made a pattern in the body of the scarf (3 dc into the stitch, 2 omitted, 3 dc into the next stitch, in the next rows the groups of 3 dc are made into the gaps between the groups of 3dc of previous row.)
Caution: Make sure that you have the necessary number of ds in the row. Do not add or or make less stitches than it should be for the respective row. If the nr. of stitches is not able to fit into the pattern, make just normal dc-s at the end with half flowers. The half flower body end should end with at least 1 dc.
Start from r.11
Pattern 2
11a r.: 4 ch, ZZ, 3dc to the ch space, (skip 2, 3 dc in next dc) continue to the end of the row – mind the number of stitches, into the 4 ch space we crochet: (dc, ch)x5, dc, connect to the previous half-flower with ss, turn
12a .r: (sc to the ch space, skip dc, 2 ch) x 5, dc2tog, continue in the body pattern – make groups of 3 dc between the groups of dc from previous row, mind the number of stitches, last group of 3 dc is made between the body and ZZ, ZZ, turn
9a r: 4ch, ZZ, 3 dc berween ZZ and the body, 3 groups between the dc groups of previous row, mind the Caution, turn
10a.r: 4 ch (middle of the half flower), mind the number of stitches, make groups of 3 dc between the groups of dc from previous row, mind the number of stitches, last group of 3 dc is made between the body and ZZ, ZZ, turn
I repeated pattern 2 for approx. 32 rows.
For the next 32 rows, I made pattern 1.
I made pattern 3 for the next 32 rows
Pattern 3
In the body of the scarf:
r.A: (5 dc, skip 2, 2ch, in the next stitch dc3togext, 2 ch, skip 2) repeat along the entire row of the body
r.B: ds in each stitch
r.C: above 5 dc from row A: (skip 2, 2 ch, in the next stitch: dc3tog, 2 ch), above the pattern from row A: (5 ds) repeat along the entire row of the body
r.D: ds in each stitch
Repeat rows 9-12, but in the body of the scarf crochet the pattern – rows A-D. Remember to decrease making dc2tog in r. 12. Mind number of stitches.
Last rows
Crochet 2-4 rows with a solid pattern in the body of the shawl at the upper end of the shawl. Use pattern rows 9-12 (Pattern1) and finish with a whole half flower, turn and continue with upper edge.
Upper edge rows:
For making the upper edge firm crochet the following rows:
- x: dc, skip 1, row, dc – repeat along the entire row (only along the body of the scarf)
- y: sc, ro, (sc to the free stitches of the row (x-1), ro) repeat, to the last stitch
You may attach a small tassel to the narrow corner. Cut the thread, sew in the threads.
