“The triangular Ennis shawl in this two-pattern set is my first and most dramatic Tunisian filet design. The four-sided lavender Diamond Ennis is the most recent. Back in 2010 I couldn’t find examples of filet lace done with Tunisian crochet. The original Ennis was my confirmation and encouragement—a revelation. I remember the liberating “Yes, it can be done!” feeling. It inspired the Aero series: Aero, Warm Aeroette, Aery Faery, and Aquarienne, as well as more designs, classes, newsletters, and blog posts over the years. I’ve added links to some of these in the patterns.” -Vashti Braha
The triangular Ennis Shawl was originally designed for Interweave Crochet Magazine, Summer 2013 issue. The designer has revised, expanded, and republished it to give it a complete stitch diagram, schematics and plenty of extra information—for lefties too.
Tunisian filet crochet is lovely on both sides and doesn’t use up a lot of yarn. Just two 85-yd. min-balls of DesigningVashti Lotus yarn were needed for the Diamond Ennis. The Ennis shawl required 250 (orange) and 500 yds (blue).
