4th r.: purl all sts, yo included.

6th r.: purl all sts, yo included.
From 7th to 138th r.: rep. 5th and 6th r. 66 times more. [139 sts. at the end of 138th r.]
Bind off all sts.
If you want a larger shawl, rep. r. 5 and 6 a few more times.

FRINGES
Cut 750 threads, each 35 cm long, and divide them into 125 groups of 6 threads each. To create each fringe, take a small group of 6 threads, fold them in half, insert the crochet hook through a hole (yo) along the slanted edge of the shawl, hook the folded point of the group, pull it through the hole to create a loop, pass the ends of the threads through the loop, and pull tight to secure the fringe in place.
Apply 62 fringes evenly through the holes on each of the 2 slanted sides of the shawl and 1 fringe at the tip. Trim the fringes to the desired length using scissors.
