The TKL Shawl

Named in honor of The Knitting Lounge in Simi Valley, California, this design celebrates the place where my journey as a teacher and designer truly began. The community built within those walls has meant so much to me. It is welcoming, encouraging, and always ready to learn something new. It is where I have had the joy of sharing the beauty of Tunisian crochet and watching others fall in love with it too. This petite triangle shawl features sections of the Tunisian knit stitch for a classic knit-like look, paired with airy eyelet textures. Worked from the top center, it is a relaxing yet engaging project that highlights the versatility of Tunisian crochet while creating a wearable piece that feels both modern and timeless. **Project Level** Advanced Beginner **Materials** * Yarn: Hue Loco Phyllis Sock (75% Superwash Merino, 25% Nylon) in Pagosa (MC) and Agave (CC) (460 yds/100 g), or similar 100 g light fingering weight (CYC 1) yarn * Estimated yardage: MC: 400 yds (365 m); CC: 330 yds (302 m); Total: 730 yds (667 m) ((includes yardage for a swatch) * 5.0 mm Tunisian crochet hook with 16-32” cords, changing cords as necessary as shawl grows, or size needed to meet gauge * Stitch markers * Tapestry needle * Measuring tape * Scissors * Blocking materials
