![Kizilkaya shawl - crochet tutorial - US terms [CC]
This tutorial will show you how to make the first three pattern repeats for the very simple, yet very elegant Kizilkaya shawl pattern. After you learn the pattern repeat, you can make your shawl as large or as small as you want to by continuing the pattern repeat.
If you are interested in a left-handed version, find it here: https://youtu.be/q0TcmmhODfQ
Use any yarn with a long gradient that you have in your stash. This pattern is suitable for a wide range of yarn weights and you can use the hook that goes with your chosen yarn.
The yarn used for the sample in the introduction is called Arya Ebruli, by Nako and one 100 gram skein was used to make the sample shawl.
