Macaw wings shawl TCAL – modified Part 7

Here is a replacement for part 7 of the Macaw wings shawl pattern. This modified section 7 includes the equivalent of 2 extra sections, so you can make your shawl longer. Part 6 here. Part 8 here.

About the Macaw wings shawl TCAL

This Tunisian crochet shawl TCAL is an online event that will last between January 20th 2023 and March 24th 2023 and involves weekly releases of blog posts with parts of the pattern.

You can read more about the event here and how to participate.

Make sure you read the observations on that page and keep some stitch markers handy.

This blog post is about a modified section 7 of the shawl, with full instructions and three charts that you can print and check while working from the instructions.

If you want to make the shawl in its original size, here’s the regular section 7.

This add-on to the pattern was created on request and includes instructions for making the equivalent of 7 feathers instead of the 3 in the original section 7.

This will add length and a little extra width to your shawl. Only use this variation if you want a longer shawl and have enough yarn for 4 extra feathers.

Middle of the shawl

Here’s a video that shows you how to switch to the second cake of yarn.

For example, when using the advent pack for making the sample, the last color (C12) took up 5 full rows or 10 g.

For the second half of the shawl, 5 rows were made in the same color (C12) and the following rows were worked with C11 until it ran out, then C10 and so on.
