I simply love crochet patterns that are such beautiful and so easy to make as this Simple Tunisian Shawl by Tanya Eberhardt. It comes in a modern ombre design in delicate colors and wonderful texture, so it will make a stylish addition to any of your outfits. Thanks to its dense stitch definition, this shawl will keep you warm during the transition months with changeable weather. You can also make one as a gift for your friends and family.
Is This Tunisian Crochet Shawl Difficult for Beginners?
This shawl pattern stands as a great opportunity for confident beginners to work on their first Tunisian crochet project. However, advanced crocheters should find it super fun to make too. You will crochet it using only basic Tunisian stitches in repeated rows. By adding or reducing the number of rows, you can also very easily change the size of your project.
Yarn and Hook Recommendations
Since this triangle shawl pattern uses the Tunisian crochet technique, you will need a special type of hook to be able to work it. The designer suggests choosing a 6 mm Tunisian hook with 32’’ cord for this project.
You should also go for a DK-weight cake yarn such as Lion Brand Mandala. With just one ball, you will create a 124 cm x 58 cm triangle shawl that is big enough to drape cozily over your upper body.
If you prefer a uniform look, you can also work this shawl with a regular solid yarn in your favorite shade. Just make sure it has the same weight so you can obtain the specified gauge and correct size.
How to Wear This Crochet Tunisian Shawl
The generous tringle-shaped design of this crochet shawl allows you to wear it in several ways. When you want to add warmth to your back and arms, drape it over your shoulders. Another stylish option is to fold it into a bandana-style scarf and wrap it around your neck.
