Make this 8-hour cabana crochet shawl in a day. Recently, I had the chance to spend a whole day on the couch at home, watch Netflix and crochet. This beautiful shawl is the result of that day.

This scarf is worked from one corner to the opposite side. In an asymmetrical shawl, the stitches are added to one side. here are two video tutorial links. Because I did rows 1-12 in full, it took two videos. Part 1 of 2 shows rows 1-3. Part 2 of 2 shows rows 4-12.
