Misty Sunrise Shawl

"Misty Sunrise Shawl is reminiscent of cool autumn foggy city mornings when sunshine works its way through thick layers of mist resulting in a milky white and yellow mixture on the background of urban scenery. The two colours in the shawl are combined using stitches and sequences to highlight each colour and their combination to create an effect comparable with the natural spectacle. The shawl is made using Tunisian crochet technique. It is a medium size shawl that is a great layering option for colder weather. "

NotesThe Misty Sunrise Shawl is worked flat, RS facing from right to left. The shawl starts in the middle of the wingspan and expands to the left, right, increasing in width with each consecutive row. Each row has an increase of 4 stitches (lps). The stitch count refers to the number of lps on hook on FP.

Blocking the shawl is essential for this project as it opens up lace stitches and highlights each individual stitch pattern.

The shawl is made in three distinct sections:
1. Section made using tks only
2. Lace section made using Tunisian 2 stitches together that is developed over 2 row repeat
3. Section using the Waffle stitch pattern that is created using Tunisian slanted and Tunisian simple stitches. The stitch pattern is highlighted by changing colour on the return pass.
