The Tuscan Moon Shawl is a pretty and quick shawl that echoes the stitch pattern of the Tuscan Sun Wrap, but in a whole new shape and yarn! Fall in love with the pretty shades of Red Heart Colorscape and this elegant triangle shawl free crochet pattern on Moogly!

Shortly after debuting the Tuscan Sun Wrap, I got a reader request – a triangle shawl version! I knew the stitch pattern would present a challenge, but after lots of math and experimentation, I’d like to think I got it right.

The Wrap was made with Red Heart An Italian Story Ombra, a lovely color shifting yarn with some wool in it. So for the Tuscan Moon Shawl, I wanted to highlight another great yarn that would work for either pattern, but has no wool in it – and Colorscape was the perfect choice!

Red Heart Colorscape is 100% acrylic and has 12 great “painterly” colors. So whether you make the Tuscan Sun Wrap or Tuscan Moon Shawl (or both!) you’ve got two great yarns to choose from.
