Remember this? Well I carried on until my circular needles were almost full and I was BORED with it.
What happened next? Well I’d got a fair amount of yarn left so I cast off using a crochet hook. I’m sure this method must have a name but I call it a lazy way that I often use.
Having cast off I then had a nice edge that I could crochet into and that’s what I did!! I did a row of double crochet (that’s the English double crochet!) and then a few rows of ‘spaced out’ trebles to give a lighter look. The final few rows were trebles into each space and tops of the previous trebles and then finally another row of double crochet. I also went round the inner side with dc too. The photo shows the finished shawl and the second one shows the remaining yarn - although the colours don’t look quite right on that photo.
I wore the jumper on Saturday with the shawl over it as it was very cold. My daughter thought it was part of the jumper! I pronounce it a success!

LOVE it! And the way you finished with the crochet was perfect!
It is beautiful! ❤️ Not sure about leftovers for you but my girlfriend uses mine and any balls I've given her and she crochets/knits lovely couch throws. I'll post a picture in your FB post comments.
Your shawl looks wonderful!!! :)
It looks great! I almost forgot about the different crochet stitch names.
