Tunisian Arrowhead Lace - Aligned |
The Tunisian Arrowhead Lace pattern creates a light & airy fabric with gorgeous visual texture. It has no curl with the finished result having a lovely lacy drape. It’s wise to use a hook 1-2 times larger than the yarn label recommendation, but with this stitch, 3 times larger may be called for to get the drape you’re looking for.
This stitch is #18 in “The New Tunisian Crochet – Contemporary Designs from Time-Honored Traditions” by Dora Ohrenstein.
A video tutorial for this pattern is available from Knitter Knotter. She named this stitch pattern "Mori Lace".
