A Funny Thing Happened - Tunisian shawl

[amydepew]

Enjoy!

 

Materials:

GypsyKnits BFL Superwash Wool Fingering weight, appx 385 yds (but any yarn, any yardage will work)

J Tunisian (afghan) hook (any hook size will work)

Tapestry needle

 

Gauge: not especially important.

 

Abbreviations:

 

tds = Tunisian double stitch (y/o, insert hk, draw up lp, y/o, draw through 2 lps)

y/o = yarn over (increase made)

lp = loop

hk = hook

sp = space

st = stitch

ch = chain

 

Notes:

 

•Ch 1 at the beginning of each row, counts as a tds.

•All return rows are as normal: y/o, pull through 1 loop, then y/o and pull through 2 loops for remainder of row.

•Yarn-overs, and the spaces created by them, count as stitches and should be worked accordingly.

•All stitches are created knitwise, meaning the hook is inserted from front to back, through the fabric.

•The fabric will not appear to be perfectly semi-circular. However, a good blocking will remedy the situation regardless of the fiber content used.

 

Pattern:

 

**Read Notes first!**

Ch 10

Row 1: With 1 lp on hk, *y/o, pull up next loop*. Repeat from * to * to end of row.

Row 2: With 1 lp on hk, tdc in y/o sp, *y/o, tdc in next st and y/o sp *. Repeat from * to * to end of row.

Row 3: With 1 lp on hk, tdc in next st and y/o sp, *y/o, tdc in next 2 st and y/o sp *. Repeat from * to * to end of row.

Row 4: With 1 lp on hk, tdc in next 2 st and y/o sp, *y/o, tdc in next 3 st and y/o sp *. Repeat from * to * to end of row.

Rows 5 – to desired size: continue increasing each section by tdc in each tdc, as well as each y/o sp.

 

Trim/Bind Off Row:

 

Ch 10, sc in 5th ch from hook (counts as dc, ch 2), ch 2, sk 3 st, dc next st. *Dc next st, ch 7, sc in 5th ch from hook, ch 2, sk 3 st, dc next st.* Repeat from * to * to end of row. In the event that you are short or over 1 extra st, just sk 2 st for last trim section, or sk 2 for the last 2 sections, to even it out.

 

Finishing:

 

Block the shawl, regardless of the material used, to beat the sway into submission. Blocking matters!
