A fanastic crochet pattern

This is a crochet pattern based on the video tutorial shown.

I want your feedback.  Please tell me if this is coherent and understandable.




Arbor Shawl




This is based on Fiber Spider's YouTube video found here:   https://youtu.be/OngyvO2Wrk8\


This shawl is composed of leaves with ch3 spaces between.  Each leaf is made of increasing and decreasing rows of dc, with a maximum of 7 dc. 

There is a center spine, which I call the ctr dc.

I have modulized the repeating steps.

leaf beg:  3dc in dc
leaf inc:  2 dc in first and last dc of group, dc in other dcs
leaf dec:  skip first and last dc of group, dc in other dcs


dc inc:  dc, ch1, dc in same stitch
ctr dc inc:  dc, ch1, dc, ch1, dc in ctr dc






ch5, sl st to join
1.     ch 6, dc, ch3, dc, ch3, dc, ch3, dc
2.     ch 6, leaf begin in 1st dc, ch 3, dc in ctr dc, ch 3, leaf begin in next dc, ch 3, dc in 3rd ch of ch6 sp

Repeat the following three rows until shawl is the size you want, ending on a row B. If your counts don’t match these counts, you’ve made a mistake somewhere.
A.   ch 4, dc in same sp, ch 3 between leaves and between leaf and ctr dc, leaf inc growing leaves (7 dc), leaf dec shrinking leaves (1 dc), ctr dc inc in ctr dc, ch 3 between leaves, leaf inc growing leaves (7 dc), leaf dec shrinking leaves (1 dc), dc inc in 3rd ch of ch6 sp
B.    ch 6, ch 3 between leaves and between leaf and ctr dc, leaf beg in every single dc, leaf inc growing leaves (3 dc), leaf dec shrinking leaves (5 dc), dc in ctr dc, ch 3 between leaves and between leaf and ctr dc, leaf beg in every single dc, leaf inc growing leaves (3 dc), leaf dec shrinking leaves (5 dc), dc in 3rd ch of ch4 sp
