Honeybee shawl Tunisian crochet pattern

About the pattern

Show off your love of bees with this elegant symmetrical rounded triangle shawl with bee mosaic and elegant lace on the edge.

This Tunisian crochet shawl is built from the top middle point and grows along the edges and the spine, with a geometric increase in an easy to remember stitch pattern.

Then a band of advanced mosaic bees is added in two colors, then the contrast color is used to create a slightly lacy edge with a honeycomb motif.

Extend the size of this shawl by working more rows in the honeycomb section.

Wear it either as a triangle scarf with the point in the front, or as an elegant wrap, tied around your waist.
