There’s nothing more satisfying than working on a gorgeous Tunisian crochet project—until you notice the edges curling in, no matter how much you tug or block.
Sound familiar?
That’s exactly why I designed the Tunisian Crochet Triangle Shawl, featured exclusively inside my Tame the Curl course.
It’s the perfect mix of beginner-friendly stitches, eye-catching texture, and a design that lays flat without the frustration.
About the Tunisian Crochet Triangle Shawl Pattern
This lightweight yet cozy shawl is one of those pieces you'll reach for all year long. Whether you’re layering it over a tee in the spring or adding a little extra warmth in the fall, it has the perfect balance of softness, drape, and modern texture.
Here’s what makes this pattern special:
- Stitches used: Easy, beginner-friendly Tunisian crochet stitches
- Design elements: Increases placed on both sides and down the center to form a clean, elegant triangle
- Yarn: A blend of a soft, drapey solid-colored yarn paired with a stunning variegated yarn, adding subtle color shifts and depth
- Finishing touch: A delicate, simple border that frames the shawl beautifully
Why Does Curling Happen in Tunisian Crochet?
If you've ever wondered why your Tunisian projects curl at the edges, you’re not alone!
It comes down to how the stitches are worked—each row adds tension, naturally pulling the fabric forward.
How This Shawl Solves the Curling Problem
What sets this shawl apart isn’t just its stunning look—it’s how it’s intentionally designed to stay flat:
✨ Strategic Stitch Choice: Throughout the pattern, I’ve included specific no-curl Tunisian stitches to balance out tension.
✨ Smart Yarn Pairing: The soft, drapey yarns used in this shawl help the fabric flow and relax, minimizing curl from the start.
✨ Thoughtful Increases: The increases on both sides and down the middle naturally balance out the fabric as it grows.
And the best part? I guide you step-by-step inside the Tame the Curl course so you can understand why these elements work—and apply them to your future projects, too.
