SHAWL:
Crochet Tension: 1 diamond with 4 love knots = approx 5 x 5 cm

Pattern: The shawl is crochet from bottom up (see diagram 1: chain = A, knot = B).

1st row: crochet 1 ch (= C in diagram) using crochet hook size 6 and Fox.
*Pull the st on needle approx 3.5 cm long, yarn over needle, pull yarn over needle through st, put hook through chain (see diagram 2: chain = D), yarn over needle, pull yarn through chain (= 2 st on needle), yarn over needle, pull yarn over needle through both sts on hook* (from *-* = 1 love knot)
Repeat from *-* 3 times (= 4 knots) and connect them with a dc in the first ch to form a ring.

2nd row: Turn the piece, crochet 3 lk, 1 dc in the 3nd lk from 1st row (crochet dc in B – see diagram 1), crochet 3 lk and 1 dc in the 2nd lk from 1st row (= 2 diamonds on the row)

3rd row: Turn the piece, crochet 1 lk and attach with a dc in the 2nd lk from previous row (ie the last diamond) - you’ve now turned so that you’re ready to continue this row: crochet 3 lk, 1 dc in the top lk in diamond from previous row, 2 lk, dc in the top of the next diamond, 3 lk, 1 dc in the 1st lk in diamond from previous row (= 3 diamonds on the row)

4th row: Turn the piece, crochet 1 lk and attach with a dc in the 2nd lk in the last diamond from previous row – you’ve now turned so that you’re ready to continue this row: crochet 3 lk, 1 dc in the top lk in diamond from previous row, 2 lk, dc in the top of the next diamond, 2 lk, dc in the top of the next diamond, 3 lk, 1 dc in the 1st lk in diamond from previous row (= 4 diamonds on the row)

Continue like this, turning the piece as explained under 3rd row after each row (crochet 1 lk and attach with a dc in the 2nd lk in the last diamond from previous row), and create an additional diamond in each row. You crochet 3 lk at the beginning and end of a row and 2 lk on the diamonds in between.

When you have crochet 23 rows (or desired length), cut the thread.

Crochet border: Crochet along all 3 sides of the shawl using crochet hook 6mm and Vienna as follows: 1 dc in first lk, *5 ch, 1 dtr in the first of the 5 ch just crochet, 1 dc in next lk *, repeat from *-* anf finish with 1 sl st in first dc from beginning of round.

BELT:

2nd row: 3 ch (equals 1 tr), 1 tr - 1 ch and 1 tr (= 1 tr-group) in ch in first tr-group, *1 tr - 1 ch and 1 tr (= 1 tr-group) in next tr-group*, repeat from *-* one more time and finish with 1 tr in 3rd ch from beginning of previous row, turn the piece. Insert a marking thread and measure piece from this point from now on!
3rd row: 4 ch (equals 1 tr + 1 ch), 1 tr - 1 ch and 1 tr in ch in first tr-group, *1 tr - 1 ch and 1 tr in ch in next tr-group*, repeat from *-* one more time and finish with 1 t - 1 ch and 1 tr in 3rd ch from beginning of previous row = 4 tr-groups + 1 tr, turn the piece.
4th row: 4 ch, 1 tr - 1 ch and 1 tr in ch in first tr-group, *1 tr - 1 ch and 1 tr in ch in next tr-group*, repeat from *-* two more times, turn the piece.
