Gauge:

Blocked Gauge of the crochet lace shawl:

15 sts  and 6 rows = 10cm x 10 cm (4 x 4 in) over lace stitch pattern

Gauge helps you to understand how the project turns out in terms of the final size. If you would like to achieve the exact size of the final project as in the instructions above, you gauge needs to match exactly to the above.

If you get more stitches and/or rows than stated above using the exact hook size as per instructions, your final project will turn out smaller. Conversely, if you get less stitches and/or rows than stated above using the exact hooks size as per instructions, your final project will turn out bigger.

To make adjustments, if you get more stitches and/or rows, you can try using bigger hook size to get closer to the desired size. Conversely, if you get less stitches and/or rows, you can try using smaller hook size to get closer to the desired size.

It may take trial and error to try out a few hook sizes to achieve the exact size.

Alternatively, if you really don’t want to make several samples to achieve the desired size, you can try to alter your tension as you work the project. However, I would advise to try this out once you master the basics of Tunisian crochet as it may be a bit tiresome to try to master the basics of crochet and focus on alternating your tension while working the project.

Stitch guide:

Double crochet– yrh, insert hook into indicated st, yrh, pull up a lp (3 lps on hook), [yrh, pull through 2 lps on hook] twice.

Shell stitch – (4 dc, ch 1, dc) in indicated st or sp.

Abbreviations:

lp(s)- loop(s)	RS- right side

Notes:

• The crochet lace shawl is worked flat in rows from bottom up.
• The main st pattern is repeated over 1 row for the lenght of the project.
• Section of 15 rows in A is alternated with 5 rows in A and B (A and B held together).

Fasten off.
