Crochet Pattern Notes
- This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
- Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that changes from person to person.
- Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
- Make a swatch that measures at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger. Learn more about testing gauge.
- Check yarn info if you want to find an alternative or test your yarn against the gauge. Learn more about substituting yarn.

- At the end of each row, the stitch count is given in parenthesis.

Techniques You Will Need

After crocheting the first return pass, you should be able to see distinct vertical bars. One in the front of the work (the front vertical bar) & one in the back (the back vertical bar).
Standard Tunisian Return (return)
Yo, pull through 1, *yo, pull through 2*, repeat from *to* until you have 1 loop on the hook.
Instructions for the Crochet Autumn Leaves Shawl
*Always start the first stitch on each row in the second front vertical bar.
All stitches are made in the front vertical bar of the stitch, except the final row.
Ch 1.
Row 1: Ch 1 (counts as 1st st), tdc 3 in 2nd ch from hook, return (=4 st).
Row 2: Ch 1, tdc 4 in next st, tdc 1 in each st until you have 1 st left, do not crochet in last st, return (=6 st).
Row 3 – 70: Repeat row 2.
The stitch count will increase with 2 stitches for each repeated row.
At the end of row 70 you will have 142 stitches.
Row 71: Ch 1 (counts as 1st st), sl st 1 between each vertical bar across to make the upper edge even.
