Our Lady Guadalupe Filet Shawl

I was asked to make a shawl using the same pattern as my friends grandmother made a wall hanging of 99 years ago.. this is what I came up with..

Our Lady Guadalupe Filet Shawl

This pattern can be used with any yarn and corresponding hook size, if you choose to use thread I would recommend doubling the thread to keep a wearable size. 
 

I used a worsted weight yarn and H / 5.00mm hook 

1200 yards of Yarn Bee's Rose Bud

 This pattern is written using American terms.

Ch 293

1 ) dc in fifth ch from hook, *ch1, skip 1, dc in next st, * repeat to end 145 mesh spaces

2 ) ch1, skip the first stitch at base of ch 1 just made, slip stitch into ch, slip stitch into dc ( counts as decrease at start of row ), ch 4, dc into next dc, *ch 1, dc into next dc* repeat to last mesh sp, do not work last mesh space ( counts as the decrease at the end of row )

Work four rows as row 2 before starting chart. 
Continue to decrease as established while working chart.
