This is Tunisian crochet pattern only!

Description:

The Horizon Tunisian Shawl features a symmetrical, nearly triangular shape with optional ties on both sides. It is worked from the neckline down, beginning with a garter tab similar to a knitted garter tab, and gradually expands through consistent increases toward the lower edge. The shawl is completed with a border made using regular crochet stitches.

A simple one-row repeat stitch pattern allows you to easily adjust the size of the shawl to your preference. The Moving Arrows stitch pattern is a lace stitch that also adds texture to the fabric. While both the right and left wings of the shawl use the same stitch pattern, the nature of Tunisian crochet creates a slightly different visual effect on each side.

Skills:

Several Tunisian sts like Tss, Tks, Tfs, and extended sts like ExTss, ExTks, ExTfs. Work regular return pass, and return pass with multiple sts. Basic regular crochet sts, and 3 treble together.
