Seeing Stripes Shawl

By: Miroslava Mihalkova from Exquisite Crochet UK
Seeing Stripes Shawl

"This stylish triangular shawl uses a double-ended crochet hook and Tunisian Brioche for a beautifully textured and airy look. This shawl is crocheted using Brioche technique and requires the use of double-ended hook. Unlike most Tunisian crochet projects, this shawl is NOT worked with RS always facing, the work is turned after each FP, resulting in a reversible fabric. At the end of each FP, slide all lps to the other end of the hook, then change colour before working the RP. Starting with Row 2, you will decrease 1 st at the start of alternating RPs. Keep you tension even with special attention to first and last sts in each row as these have the tendency to become disproportionately enlarged. "
