This pattern has been revised, expanded, and republished by the designer
The DesigningVashti.com Ennis Revelation version of the Ennis Shawl features:
- a complete stitch diagram,
- schematic and step outs (for lefties too),
- UK-inclusive terminology,
- minimal use of pattern abbreviations, and
- updated yarn information.
Ennis Revelation is a two-pattern set: the updated Ennis and the new Diamond Ennis.
“This Tunisian crochet shawl is worked corner to corner, with Tunisian filet crochet defining the row edges. The staggered open squares along the edge are reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Mayan-inspired Ennis House in Los Feliz, south of Griffith Park.” Interweave Crochet
Skill Level
Tunisian Intermediate. With this pattern you’ll crochet a triangular shawl side to side (a.k.a. point to point or P2P) by increasing or decreasing along the “easy side” (starting edge of the forward passes).
After using this pattern, you will know (if you didn’t already):
- How to apply principles of filet crochet to Tunisian stitches for a strikingly lacy net.
- How to manage different kinds of loops held on the Tunisian crochet hook: temporary vs. Tunisian yarn overs, and completed stitches.
- How to crochet a triangle shawl by starting and ending at the upper corners.
- How to edge Tunisian crochet with filet spaces as you go.
Sizes
- Two-skein (500 yds) blue shawl: About 62” {157.5 cm} wide from point to point and 25” {63.5 cm} long at deepest point of triangle.
- One-skein (250 yds) orange shoulder wrap: About 50” {127.0 cm} wide from point to point and 20” {50.8 cm} long at deepest point of triangle.
Materials
Straight or Flexible Tunisian crochet hook at least 13″ {33.0 cm} long: Size G/6 {4 mm} or size needed to match gauge.
Yarn DesigningVashti.com Lotus (52% Cotton, 48% Rayon; 256 yds/235 m per 3.5 oz/100 g skein): use one ball for the smaller orange wrap and 2 balls for the larger blue one. It’s currently available and substitutes perfectly for the (possibly discontinued) orange and blue yarn I used for the original triangle shawls: Southwest Trading Company Bamboo (100% bamboo; 250 yd 229 m/3.53 oz 100 g): 1 (#411 Tequila) or 2 (#128 Ocean Life) skeins.
Substituting Yarn: The dramatic filet border is created as you complete each row, so a long-striping yarn would work well for this. Choose a yarn with a recommended crochet hook size range of E/4–G/7 {3.5 mm–4.5 mm}.
Notions: Two stitch markers. Scissors. Yarn needle.
