POETRY is an asymmetrical triangle shaped shawl, full of drape and beautiful texture created using only 3 basic Tunisian Crochet stitches. Construction begins with only a few stitches starting at a corner of the shawl, increasing along one edge with each row worked, building a pretty decorative border and textured ribbed body of the shawl at the same time. Simple, meditative stitches create a beautiful fabric making it a relaxing and fun project.

A diagram of the shawl’s construction and a stitch chart for the first few rows of Part 2 are included for reference.
