This crescent shaped shawl uses one full skein (100g/ approx 400 yds) of single ply fingering weight, and one contrasting mini skein (20 g/approx. 87 yds) of the same or similar base. You will use nearly all of your yardage so plan accordingly.

Combined techniques of crochet, Tunisian/afghan crochet and knitting are used. It is advantageous to have an interchangeable (5.00mm/ US 8) needle as well as interchangeable (5.00mm/H) Tunisian crochet hook in order to switch seamlessly between the techniques as they alternate in the pattern.
