Wheat fields – Tunisian crochet lace rectangle shawl pattern

Description

About the pattern

Inspired by fields of wheat and lovely Shetland lace, when made in lace-weight mohair yarn, this Tunisian crochet wrap envelops you in warmth and softness on chilly summer evenings.

Make it in white as a wedding wrap, or in jewel tones, then wear it for a special event in your life. Change the numbers in the foundation row to make the wrap wider or narrower to suit your needs.

Use a shawl pin to keep the wrap in place around your shoulders and add more pattern repeats from the beginning for a wider wrap that covers your whole back.

Skill level

This pattern is suitable for intermediate to advanced crocheters with experience in Tunisian crochet lace, increases, decreases and eyelets.
