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 sections 3 and 4 of the shawl. If you already made sections 1 and 2, these should be much easier to make.
