Pattern
Foundation Row: (Ch 3, dc in 3rd ch from hook) 33 times.
Note: Row 1 is worked around the posts of Foundation Row dc and in chs at base of dc.
Row 1: Ch 4 (counts as first dc and ch 1, now and throughout), turn, dc around first dc, ch 1, dc in ch at base of same dc, (ch 1, dc around next dc, ch 1, dc in ch at base of same dc) across – 66 ch-1 sps; 67 dc).
Row 2: Ch 4, turn, dc in next dc, ch 1, dc in next dc, *ch 5, sk next 2 dc, 3dccl in next dc, ch 5, sk next 2 dc, dc in next dc, (ch 1, dc in next dc) 2 times; rep from * across – 32 dccl; 64 ch-5 sps; 66 ch-1 sps; 99 dc.
Row 3: Ch 3 (counts as first dc, now and throughout), turn, (dc in next ch-1 sp, dc in next dc) twice, *ch 4, sc in next ch-5 sp, sk 3dccl, sc in next ch-5 sp, ch 4, dc in next dc, (dc in next ch-1 sp, dc in next dc) twice; rep from * across – 64 ch-4 sps; 64 sc; 165 dc.
Row 4: Ch 3, turn, dc in next 4 dc, *ch 4, sc in next ch-4 sp, sc in sp before next sc, sc in next ch-4 sp, ch 4, dc in next 5 dc; rep from * across – 64 ch-4 sps; 160 sc; 165 dc.
Row 5: Ch 4, turn, sk next dc, dc in next dc, ch 1, sk next dc, dc in next dc, *ch 5, sk next ch-4 and sc, 3dccl in next sc, ch 5, sk next sc and ch-4, dc in next dc, (ch 1, sk next dc, dc in next dc) twice; rep from * across – 32 dccl; 64 ch-5 sps; 66 ch-1 sps; 99 dc.
Row 6: Ch 4, turn, dc in next dc, ch 1, dc in next dc, *(ch 1, sk next ch, dc in ch-5 sp) twice, ch 1, dc in next 3dccl, (ch 1, sk next ch, dc in next ch of ch-5 sp) twice, (ch 1, dc in next dc) 3 times; rep from * across – 66 ch-1 sps; 67 dc.
Rep Rows 2-6, 34 times or to desired length, ending with a Row 6.
Last Row: Ch 3, dc in first dc, *sk next dc, (sl st, ch 3, dc) in next dc; rep from * across to last 2 dc, sk next dc, sl st in last dc. Do not fasten off.
Edging
First Side: Working in end of rows, ch 3, sl st in Last Row, (ch 3, sl st in next row) across to Row 1, ch 3, sl st in base of Row 1. Fasten off.
Second Side: With same side facing, join yarn with sl st in base of Row 1, ch 3, working in end of rows, sl st in Row 1, (ch 3, sl st in next row) across to Last Row, ch 3, sl st in top of Last Row. Fasten off.
Finishing
Weave in ends. Block to finished measurements.
Fringe (optional)
Working in ch-3 sps of Foundation Row and Last Row, add 3 strands of 7” / [18 cm] yarn in each ch-3 sp across. 
Hi, I need a little help. I’m not a very experienced crocheter, and some things that are probably obvious are escaping me.
1. There is no number given for the foundation. Assuming my math is correct, it looks to be 99, 3×33. I would very much like to verify that.
2. What is the repeat number so that I can make the shawl narrower, to scarf width?
Hello Mary! I’ve reached out to the designer for advice and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola, Editor
Hello again! From the designer: “The foundation row is the first line of instruction. It is red, horizontally at the bottom of the attached diagram. This design starts with (ch 3, dc in 3rd ch from hook) 33 times. There will be 33 little loops. Row 1 is worked around the posts of the 33 dc and in the same chs where the dc were worked, so at the base of each dc. (See the note between Foundation Row and Row 1 in the written instructions.)
To make the design narrower, work the Foundation Row to have a multiple of 4 + 1 loops (e.g. 17 loops would be approx 9” wide, excluding edging, if worked to the gauge specified in the pattern)”
Here is the diagram: https://www.ilikecrochet.com/wp-content/uploads/Stole-Chart-and-Key.png
