Limonite shawl Tunisian crochet pattern

This is one of the easiest patterns to learn, resulting in the most stunning triangle shawl, with a strong spine and gorgeous honeycomb texture.

The pattern uses the Tunisian honeycomb stitch (alternating classic Tunisian simple stitches and purl stitches) to create two mirrored panes that grow on the bias and create a light curve on the top side of the shawl. This makes the shawl drape nicely on your shoulders.

The honeycomb stitch is less easy to make than the usual Tunisian simple stitch, but it has the advantage that it doesn’t make the fabric curl, so you can wear your shawl right after finishing it, without having to block it.
