Missing Holiday Sun Shawl

"Missing Holiday Sun Shawl is a crescent shaped Tunisian crochet shawl combining traditional looking Tunisian simple stitch with rows of lace. It is constructed top down and uses 200 g of sport weight yarn that is light enough for spring and summer but still gives a bit of warmth, which lends it to be a great layering option for chillier evenings and long walks outside. The Shawl is worked flat, RS facing from right to left. The shawl is worked from top down with 3 increases on each side for rows (6 per row) of tss and tcs and 4 increases on each side for rows (8 per row) of tdc. The stitch count refers to the number of lps on hook on FP. Bind off row should be worked loosely to allow for the extra stretching during blocking. Blocking the shawl is essential for this project as it opens up lace stitches and highlights each individual stitch pattern. "
