Crochet Crazy

I've been enjoying simple crochet projects for quite a while. I had a single cake of Lion Brand Mandala yarn and needed a quick to work project. I grabbed my hook and got stitching.
The goal is for a semicircular shawl shape. I didn't have a pattern, so I am kind of winging it with this one. The stitch is the linen (or moss) stitch. Nothing more complicated than a single crochet and a chain one.
The magic of the shape is increases concentrated every fourth row. I think the shape is working out better than I had hoped. I'll have to do this with more care and notes when I try it again. The increases aren't stacked, so they spread out the increases to give the rounded shape.
The stitch looks the same on the front or back, which is great. I may experiment with some other shapes.
