DarjeelingTea Shawl

Hi there! If you like long, rainy afternoons of tea and crochet, this is your shawl. It naturally came to my mind from the parts of the PuErhTea shawl that I like most. I hope you like it too! This is not a beginners pattern, but I’ve tried to add as much detail as possible and step-by-step pictures for every row. Keeping the stitch count is really important with this kind of project, so I’ve added the stitch count to every row as well. Yarn & Hook size: For the step-by-step pictures I used Hobbii Rainbow 8/4 cotton with a 3mm hook, but you can use whatever yarn & hook size you like, as long as they match and you are happy with the resulting tension Gauge: 10 dc in 5 cm Difficulty: intermediate Terminology: US terms Materials required: • Hobbii Rainbow 8/4 cotton (1000 meters, divided in any number of assorted colors) or any equivalent cake yarn (check the length) • Matching crochet hook • Tapestry needle to sew ends • Scissors Stitches used in this pattern: • Slip stitch (sl st) • Chain (ch) • Double crochet (dc) • Treble crochet (tr) • Front post double crochet (fpdc) • Back post double crochet (bpdc) • Puff stitch (see below) Other abbreviations: • Ch-sp: chain separator • Sk st: skip stitch
