Materials Needed
- Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in shades of teal, seafoam, and deep blue

- Gauge: 12 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in Tunisian Simple Stitch
- Scissors: For cutting yarn
- Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Foundation Row
Start by making a slip knot and chaining 70. This will be the foundation of your shawl. Once you have your chain, use your Tunisian crochet hook to pick up loops in each chain across. You should have 70 loops on your hook at the end of this row.
2. Row 1
For Row 1, work the Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS) across all 70 stitches. To do this, insert your hook into the first vertical bar of the first stitch, yarn over, and pull up a loop. Repeat this for each stitch across the row. At the end of the row, you should have 70 loops on your hook.
3. Row 2
In Row 2, you will alternate between TSS and the Tunisian Knit Stitch (TKS). Start by working TSS in the first 5 stitches. Then, for the next 5 stitches, work TKS. Repeat this pattern of *TSS in next 5 stitches, TKS in next 5 stitches; from * across the row until you reach the end. You will end with TKS in the last 5 stitches.
4. Row 3
For Row 3, you will switch the order of stitches. Work TKS in the first 5 stitches, then TSS in the next 5 stitches. Repeat this pattern of *TKS in next 5 stitches, TSS in next 5 stitches; from * across the row until you reach the end. You will end with TSS in the last 5 stitches.
5. Repeat Rows 2-3
Continue to repeat Rows 2 and 3 until your shawl measures approximately 60 inches in length. Make sure to check your measurements regularly to ensure you are on track!
6. Bind Off
Once your shawl has reached the desired length, it’s time to bind off. Work a slip stitch in each stitch across the row. This will secure your stitches and prevent them from unraveling.
7. Finishing
To finish your shawl, weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle. This will give your shawl a clean look. Finally, block your shawl to relax the stitches and enhance the texture. You can do this by gently wetting the shawl and laying it flat to dry, shaping it as you go.
Congratulations! You have now completed your very own Mystic Waves Tunisian Crochet Shawl. Enjoy wearing your beautiful creation or gifting it to someone special!
