I am totally into the Houndstooth motif lately! Also known as Pied-de-poule. This pattern never really goes out of style I think , but I noticed it being very fashionable this Fall/Winter. So I just had to crochet something with this stylish duotone pattern. I made lots of colored Houndstooth swatches to finally decide to make a shawl in the traditional black and white combo after all!

Materials
You can use any kind of yarn with matching hook size.
I used Stylecraft special DK 100% premium Acrylic (100gr/295m) with a Clover hook 4mm.
Color A: 2x Cream 1005
Color B: 2x Black 1002
My shawl measures: long side about 215cm, point 75cm.
Abbreviations US terms:
beg beginning
ch chain
ch-sp chain space
dc double crochet
slst slipstitch
st stitch/stitches
tr treble crochet
Instructions:
Rows 4 and 5 form the pattern rows.
Repeat these rows until your shawl has the desired size, (my shawl has 80 rows here). End with a row 4 repeat.
Finishing row:
3ch (counts as 1 tr), 2 dc in between the 3ch and dc, 1dc in next st, repeat [1dc in next st, work 1dc over the 1ch-sp in row below, 1dc in next 2 st] until the last st, (2dc, 1tr) in between the last 2 st. Cut yarn, fasten off and weave in all ends.
So in this row we do not chain and skip stitches, but work a dc in every stitch
