Flamenco Shawl pattern now available!
“Spanish Dancer” laceweight yarn from Blue Heron Yarns is worked in broomstick lace to create this colorful and comfortable shawl. Stitches are decreased so the top is narrower than the bottom. Fling this shawl over your shoulder, and the resulting gathers resemble a rose. |
Coronet Scarf pattern now available!
This lacy scarf begins and ends with crown-shaped trim, joined by a center section of openwork and crossed stitches. The slow color changes in the Mondial Bamboo yarn create beautiful contrasts. Wear this scarf and you’ll look like royalty. |

It’s crocheting … it’s knitting … it’s a little of each! Tunisian crochet is worked on a crochet hook but leaves the loops on the hook like in knitting. The results are the best of both worlds, with a knitted or woven look rather than the loopiness of traditional crochet. Tunisian Crochet elevates this technique into the realm of high style with exciting stitch patterns, meticulous shaping, and attractive finishing in 16 contemporary projects including apparel and items for the home. Photographs by Alan Wycheck; illustrations by David Bienkowski. Available now!
