Prayer shawl
This one was started in the center using a fan stitch. Each color was added to both sides to make it balanced.

This was done with granny squares using a K hook. There are 48 squares in the finished piece and a final round of black on the outside.

This pattern originally was Tunisian crochet. The squares were actually worked in single crochet, chain. A row of V-stitch was worked around each square, then a round of single crochet and finally a round of double crochet.
This is Tunisian entrelac worked with a N or P hook. The larger size hook makes the weave a little looser than normal Tunisian simple stitch. It doesn't curl as much as the tighter stitched one would.

Happy crafting,
