To celebrate Malabrigo March, I am offering 20% off my self-published patterns made with Malabrigo yarns until the end of March 10 with the code MALMARCH20.

I am about to start my Mental Vacation, so I let my thoughts drift away, I dream about beautiful places, I relax and crochet. My first stop is hot gorgeous Egypt and the sunny Nile.

The Nile is a shawl worked in the Tunisian crochet entrelac technique. It is worked side to side in rows of little squares with the front side always facing up.

Each element of the shawl is small enough to place all of your stitches on a regular crochet hook.

Find Tunisian crochet glossary at www.msweaver.com/tutorials/tunisian-crochet/.

The pattern includes:

• the written instruction and schematics
• a photo tutorial
• the additional layout diagrams, which show several possible geometric patterns and the rules for combining and striping the colors. The yardage for each layout is provided.
