The Pax Shawl

The Pax shawl is beautiful simple tunisian crochet pattern that uses a combination of regualr crochet and tunisian crochet techniques.

One of the stitches used in the shawl is the Tunisian Linked stitch or the Uple stitch.

The linked stiches can be worked in any numbers as required. These are very simple stitches that are a perfect combination of regular crochet and tunisian crochet.

The linked stitch is basically a vertical stitch worked up to the length n number required and worked down again to link it to the foundation row.

You can build the linked sttiches to make them 1-uple, 2-uple, 3-uple, 4-uple, 5-uple and so on. These numbers are basically the no. of horizontal bars in the one stitch.

The working of the linked stitches is a little different, since we pull up loops in the horizontal bars and work verticaly to build the height of the stitches. Hence it better to turn work 90 degrees to make it easier.

You can find a detailed video tutorial explaining the linked stitches below:
