Tunisian Tides
Shawl is a different crochet riff on my Autumn Filigree design. Instead
of a regular crochet hook it is made with a Tunisian crochet hook with a
flexible cable extension. The slightly asymmetrical shawl is worked
sideways in Tunisian Simple Stitch, vertical ladders, and a lace border.
The pattern assumes you have a basic knowledge of Tunisian simple
stitch.
My shawl was made with 600 yards of worsted weight yarn and a size J
(6 mm) Tunisian crochet hook with a flexible cable extension. The edging
used about 60 yards of worsted weight yarn in a contrasting color. My
shawl finished at 59” neckline x 27.5” deep at center back and 84” along
the bottom edge. The edging adds another 2” to the length. The shawl
will be larger if you block it. I used a microfiber yarn so I settled
for washing and laying it out flat to dry.
This easy-to-hook design can be worked in any weight of yarn by
changing the hook size to suit the yarn. You want a soft and not stiff
fabric. Make it as small or large as you like depending on how much yarn
you have.
The 5 page pattern with written instructions and a Tunisian crochet
chart can be found in my Ravelry pattern store.
