I never comment on videos but this is such a great tutorial! Not only is every step explained, but WHY each stitch is where it is, AND I love the "it'll look weird in the beginning but that's normal" warning. Every time I follow a tutorial and it starts looking weird I feel discouraged bc I feel like I'm doing it wrong. The precaution really means a lot!🩷
Glad you like it! Did you find the link to the pattern on the blog? You have the loop counts at the end of each row there and you increase the count by 6 for each subsequent row.
Hi. Please don't record my patterns. If you want to help me, I might be able to translate the captions to Spanish correctly. Right now, people can use the auto translate option for the captions.
Thanks! The hook in this tutorial is a ChiaoGoo I found in my local crafts store. I have another in 5 mm. I don't like that the cable is so short and it swings, so I have to stick it into my waistband to keep it still, but otherwise the hook is very nice, shape-wise. You can probably find them in your local store, but definitely online. They are a bit costly. I also use the basic hooks from the sets on Amazon. I want to make a video to show how to improve those with a file and a bit of sandpaper, as they are really basic.
You have stated that your pattern is 46 rows, can you please advise me as to how many stitches that would be also, so I know which length of Tunisian hook I will need to complete the same.
You can make more rows than that, but at 46 you have 277 stitches according to the pattern. You can comfortably use an 100-120 cm or 40-47" cable on your hook, since you can squish a lot of stitches on the cable.
On row 4, I keep getting 24. Watched your video but you didn’t count your stitches. Is it 24 or 25? I think I am making my stitches too tight. Still haven’t figured out how to hold the yarn in my left hand. Keeps getting caught in between my pinkie and ring finger. How do you hold yours?
There should be 25 loops. The blog post has the stitch counts for the first few rows and then they keep increasing by 6. yarnandy.com/phyllite-free-tunisian-crochet-shawl-pattern/ As for how I hold the yarn, it's around my pinky, on the palm side, then around the pointer finger from the back. I control tension with the pointer and by opening or closing the pinky.
You can, but that would be a different pattern and you might get a diamond instead of a triangle. I haven't tested it, so I can't tell for sure. Just make sure you Ch2 at the end of the row instead of Ch1.
Yes, written instructions for the first 5 rows are here yarnandy.com/phyllite-free-tunisian-crochet-shawl-pattern/ and you can also get a printable PDF version with more rows, all the links are there in the blog post.
I watched this video many many times. you changed 6 in the beginning and picked up 7 stitches and then did your return pass. it wasn't until I watched and counted that you picked up 7 stitches because I kept getting 12 stitches on row two and you imply there are 13 stitches if you count them there are 13 but you must pick up 7 stitches not 6.
The first loop is the first stitch and it's always on the hook at the beginning of the row. For row 1, I picked up 6 loops in the back bumps, for 7 in total at the end of the forward pass. On the second row, I picked up 12 loops, for a total of 13 loops on the hook. This is all clearly shown in the video. If it's not enough, you can always check out the written instructions for this pattern. yarnandy.com/phyllite-free-tunisian-crochet-shawl-pattern/

This is a great, simple pattern. Thank you for sharing it with us.
It's a good basic shape for exploring various other stitches too.

Beautiful shawl and so amazing how it uses such a relatively small amount of yarn 🧶
Thank you, Caroline, I am really looking forward to seeing what beautiful yarn you choose for the second one 😄
So lucky to stumble across this shawl.
Glad you like it! Did you find the link to the pattern on the blog? You have the loop counts at the end of each row there and you increase the count by 6 for each subsequent row.
@@YarnAndy thank you so much! That bit of info helped tremendously.
This is the best tutorial I've seen. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Aw, that's too kind! Thank you!
Thank you, I love this proyect . I'll make it to use it riding my horse among vineyards
That sounds like a perfect use! I've been wearing mine around the house, tied in the back, it's so warm and comfy.
Thank you for making a tutorial of a Tunisian crochet shawl, it is very easy to understand, thank you very much 😘🥰
There are more on the way 😄
I hope to start learning tunisian crochet. I think this project will be ideal
I hope you enjoy it!
Beautiful shawl! I need to make this!
Thank you! Enjoy!
Love this. Thank you for the tutorial. Could you please do a pocket shawl tutorial in Tunisian crochet? Thanks.
Thanks! That's a great idea, I'll think about it 😄
Wonderful shawl, and very clear directions, so helpful!! You are one of my favorite to learn how to tunisian crochet. Thanks for the videos.
Thank you! That means so much 🤍
Thank you for this pattern! You do a great job explaining everything. 😊
Thank you!
That is lovely. I love Tunisian crochet and will look forward to making this; thank you.
Thank you and enjoy!
Thank you for this! I was wondering why my shawls kept falling off. Now I know I need to do the increases like you did. Thank you so much! 🙌😍
For shawls that stay on, I find that crescent shapes are the best, as they hang on to you. Anything that's not a perfectly flat triangle will work.
@@YarnAndy That makes so much sense! Thank you! 🙌😍
This is an absolutely beautiful pattern thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much!

Thank you for your tutorial. Beautiful shawl. Where do you buy your Tunisian hooks? What kind of Tunisian hook are you using in this tutorial?
Thanks! The hook in this tutorial is a ChiaoGoo I found in my local crafts store. I have another in 5 mm. I don't like that the cable is so short and it swings, so I have to stick it into my waistband to keep it still, but otherwise the hook is very nice, shape-wise.

Can I just do 1 tfs at the beginning and end rows. Instead of 2 to keep shawl from getting to long. I want it to be more symmetric triangle
You can, but that would be a different pattern and you might get a diamond instead of a triangle. I haven't tested it, so I can't tell for sure. Just make sure you Ch2 at the end of the row instead of Ch1.
Have you got a pattern you can follow? I'm going to try this cuz I want to make a shawl
Yes, written instructions for the first 5 rows are here yarnandy.com/phyllite-free-tunisian-crochet-shawl-pattern/ and you can also get a printable PDF version with more rows, all the links are there in the blog post.
How many row do you do? Betty Jean
My sample has 46 rows, but you should stop when your shawl is big enough. The size will depend on your yarn, hook, tension.
This is for beginners????????
@@ColaineSwaby yes, it's a very simple shape and a one row repeat with the easiest Tunisian crochet stitch. What would you call it?
I watched this video many many times. you changed 6 in the beginning and picked up 7 stitches and then did your return pass. it wasn't until I watched and counted that you picked up 7 stitches because I kept getting 12 stitches on row two and you imply there are 13 stitches if you count them there are 13 but you must pick up 7 stitches not 6.

She workes into the first chain instead of skipping it, that's where the 7th loop comes from(6 loops from the chains and 1working loop)
