An generously sized Tunisian Crochet Shawl with a wide border worked in a contrasting colour. Worked from the top-down, a 6-row repeating pattern creates textured stripes of the Tunisian Purl Stitch amongst wider sections of the Tunisian Knit Stitch.

Worked up in a chunky yarn, this is a quick Shawl to make, and its large size will keep you nice and cosy and warm.

Tunisian Full Stitch increases are worked at the side of each row to create the wingspan, and they are worked either side of a central stitch on alternate rows down the centre of the Shawl.

Wingspan = 190.5cm/75 inches
