Sunset Ruana Crochet Pattern Download by Sharon Falkner
Sharon's Falkner’s gorgeous crocheted Enterlac Ruana uses a fascinating, yet surprisingly simple Tunisian technique. The plush, self-shading yarn does most of the heavy lifting, creating separate diamonds of color in a harlequin effect. Worked with a slightly larger hook than normal, this Tunisian entrelac, usually quite dense, has terrific drape to make this your go-to winter outerwear.

Finished Size:  Back is 48" wide and 43" long; front panels are 22½ " wide and 43" long each after blocking not including border.
Yarn: Wisdom Yarns Limerick (100% superwash merino; 175 yd [160 m]/1¾ oz [50 g]; ): #31801 (multi), 15 balls. Yarn distributed by Universal Yarns.
Yarn Weight: #3 – Light
Hook: Size L/11 (8 mm) and M/13 (9 mm) Tunisian or standard hook without thumb grip. Adjust hook size if necessary to obtain correct gauge.
Notions: Yarn needle; rustproof pins; blocking wires (optional).
Gauge: One entrelac square or 6 sts and 6 rows = 2¼" in tss.

 Red Rocks Wrap Crochet Pattern Download by Tracie Barrett
When you need a bit of warmth but not a full sweater, this is your garment. Worked in Tunisian simple stitch, it's a perfect introduction to Tunisian crochet. Its seamless construction makes it a quick project for yourself or others, and the stretchiness of the yarn and stitch allows flexibility in sizing.

Yarn: Zitron Noblesse (70% merino, 30% silk; 165 yd [151 m]/1¾ oz [50 g]; ): #02 mauve, 5 (6, 6, 6, 6) balls. Yarn distributed by Skacel.
Yarn Weight: #3 – Light
Hook:Sizes L/11 (8 mm) Tunisian hook and L/11 (8 mm) traditional crochet hook. Adjust hook size if necessary to obtain correct gauge.
Notions: Stitch markers (m); six 1″ buttons, yarn needle.
Gauge: 13 sts and 12 rows = 4" in tss with Tunisian hook.

Cool Wave Shawl Crochet Pattern Download by Sheryl Means
This crescent of Tunisian lace is like a cool wave wrapped about your shoulders, a light swath to protect against an evening breeze without being too warm. Worked in alternating rows of Tunisian simple stitch and Tunisian lace pattern, this shawl grows by a stitch each row until the base chains are used up, then after a bit of neck shaping, you work decreasing rows until the shawl is as wide as you like.

Finished Size: 56" long at neck edge and 26" wide.
