This crescent of Tunisian lace is like a cool wave wrapped about your shoulders, a light swath to protect against an evening breeze without being too warm. Worked in alternating rows of Tunisian simple stitch and Tunisian lace pattern, this shawl grows by a stitch each row until the base chains are used up, then after a bit of neck shaping, you work decreasing rows until the shawl is as wide as you like.
Finished Size 56" long at neck edge and 26" wide.
