Tuch JENNY

Tuch JENNY Crochet Shawl Pattern

What is Being Made

The Tuch JENNY is a triangular crocheted shawl designed by Anette Pan and Jenny. This downloadable PDF pattern creates a generous wrap-style shawl measuring 160 cm in width when laid flat ungathered, making it an ideal accessory for layering or draping across the shoulders.

Craft and Technique

This project is worked entirely in crochet, classified as an intermediate difficulty pattern. The shawl is constructed using a triangular construction method that begins from a central point and expands outward through successive rows, creating a classic crescent or triangular silhouette. The pattern uses a combination of textured and decorative crochet techniques to build visual interest throughout the piece.

Stitches Used

The Tuch JENNY pattern incorporates the following crochet stitches:

• Stäbchen (Treble Crochet) – the primary structural stitch used throughout most rows
• Doppelstäbchen (Double Treble) – used as accent stitches and edge details
• Luftmasche (Chain Stitch) – used for spacing, increases, and creating decorative gaps
• Steigeluftmasche (Turning Chain) – serves as a replacement treble at the beginning of rows
• Vorderes Reliefstäbchen (Front Relief Treble) – adds textural depth and dimension
• Hinteres Reliefstäbchen (Back Relief Treble) – creates contrasting relief texture

Materials and Yarn Specifications

The pattern is designed to work with 3-ply yarn of any type, offering flexibility for fiber selection. The designer's example uses a color gradient yarn (Farbverlaufsgarn) from Stricktante handmade, with 1000 meters of yardage, providing ample length for the finished shawl. A 3.0 mm crochet hook is recommended for the gauge shown in the designer's sample, though adjustments can be made based on individual tension and desired finished dimensions.

Pattern Format

This is a downloadable PDF pattern created by independent designer Pan-Design. The pattern includes written instructions with German crochet abbreviations and supporting crochet charts (Häkelschrift) to guide construction. The pattern begins with either a magic ring or a traditional chain ring foundation, then progresses through numbered rows with detailed stitch placement instructions.
