The lacy version of the corner to corner pixel crochet technique is great for a lighter shawl. I love to crochet triangle shapes in C2C! The lacy look comes from chains in between pixels and picots.
You have instructions on video as well as a written pattern and a crochet chart. The same technique can be used for many other items like summer tops, beach wraps, table cloths and runners and scarves.

The shawl is 60 cm (24 in) high from the point to the top. Width at the top 165 cm (65 in). But you can make the shawl any size by stopping earlier or continuing to crochet more. The pattern grows automatically in a triangle shape.
The written pattern and crochet chart are after the video!

Repeat Row 4 till your triangle shawl is the size you want.

After you triangle is the desired size, make a chain row to create and even top edge.
Start at the point where your yarn is when finished.

Fasten off and weave in yarn ends.

Is there a video to show how to end it.
No video about that. You can simply stop crocheting when the shawl is big enough. It ens at the top, straight edge. But if you prefer, you could add a border of single crochets or something else. I always just stop and cut the yarn.
