✂️ Step-by-step instructions

2Sew the Edges
With right sides facing, sew the edges together using a 1.5 cm / 5/8 in seam allowance. This provides durability and a clean finish.
3Finish the Edges
Press the seams open and finish the edges with a zigzag stitch to prevent fraying, which enhances the longevity of the shawl. Consider understitching for a neater finish.
4Add the Lace Trim
Sew the crochet lace trim along the edges of the shawl using a straight stitch. This adds a decorative touch that elevates the overall design.
5Final Touches
Press the shawl to remove any wrinkles. Check all seams and edges for evenness and secure any loose threads for a polished finish.
