Keziah Shawl
Introduction
Keziah Shawl is a large size Tunisian crochet banana shaped shawl that is constructed from bottom up. It uses fingering weight yarn in 4 different colours, which enables the shawl to be a great accessory when the temperatures plummet as well as a layering option to keep warm.
The pattern uses a variety of stitches to create different cables; some basic and some more advanced in combinations to create a beautiful textured shawl.

Notes
The Keziah Shawl is worked flat with RS facing from left to right.
The shawl starts at a left tip and grows gradually by increasing 2 and 3 stitches at the beginning of a row and decreasing at the end of the row; this gives the shawl its banana shape.
The pattern of increasing is 1 row of 2 st increase followed by 1 row of 3 st increase (unless otherwise stated).
The stitch count refers to the number of lps at the end of FP and RP (unless otherwise stated).
The shawl consists of 3 distinct sections that are separated by smaller sections of colourwork:
- Honeycomb cable section formed by C3F and C3B.
- Plain section of tks with travelling cable (C3R and C3L) along the left edge.
- Loose Braid Cable section formed by C3F and C3B.
