Equally Unique is a symmetrical triangular shawl made in a sideways construction. The easy stitch pattern lends itself well to variegated yarns. Combine a unique colourway with a solid yarn and grab your Tunisian crochet hook. The shawl mainly uses the Tunisian full stitch, an easy and quick stitch, which will give your crocheting a pleasant rhythm. Design details like slip stitches and a popping edge will make sure this enjoyable project turns out spectacular. All stitches and set up are explained in a helpful video tutorial.

The pattern and the video especially are so easy to follow. There are so many ways you could vary the colours to get different looks. Easy to “just do one more row”. (Lisa, tester of Equally Unique)

Yarn and Yardage
Fingering weight yarn in 2 colours, 400-425m/437-465yd per 100 grams of each.

• Choose a highly variegated yarn for your CC and match it with a solid yarn for your MC. Use a contrasting colour like sample 2 or go for a blend with your variegated yarn like sample 1.
• The CC yarn is used for the slip stitch detail in the design. You can switch your MC and CC if you prefer this detail to be solid coloured.
• Each suggested edging uses less than 10g of yarn. The row instructions given in the pattern will make sure you have enough yarn leftover.
• Use the calculation formula in the pattern to make the most of your available yarn.

Gauge
17 stitches and 17 rows in Tfs = 10 cm/4” measured after blocking. Tfs has a tendency to grow with blocking.
Obtaining gauge is not crucial for this design, as long as you’re happy with the drape of the fabric. If your gauge differs greatly, yarn usage and the final dimensions will be affected. Using the calculation formula (page 3) will make sure you don’t run out of yarn.

Tools

• 5 mm Tunisian crochet hook with cable or preferred hook size needed to meet gauge or attain desired drape.
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle
• Optional: stitch marker(s)
• Optional: gram scale to weigh yarn when using the calculation formula
