During the month of September, we’re taking a moment away from standard crochet to focus on Tunisian crochet patterns. This technique will create awesome projects that have a unique look due to the way the stitches are created. All stitches are picked up and placed on the hook, then all stitches are worked off the hook.
Just like standard crochet, once you have the basic gist of the technique, you’ll be able to use what you’ve learned to explore all Tunisian crochet has to offer. If you’re not sure where to start, we’ve collected top Tunisian crochet patterns to get you started on your journey. Each one uses a slightly different variation on Tunisian crochet, but the stitches used, as well as the overall technique, remains the same.
5 Popular Tunisian Crochet Patterns
Red Rocks Wrap
If you’re looking for a project that will warm you during the chilly months, look no further than this modified wrap. The Red Rocks Wrap uses Tunisian simple stitch, one of the most basic Tunisian stitches. This, plus the stretchiness of the yarn, allows for flexibility in sizing.
Cool Wave Shawl
Ready to branch out from Tunisian simple stitch? Check out the Cool Wave Shawl! It’s worked in alternating rows of Tunisian simple stitch and Tunisian lace, providing a meshy challenge for those who are ready to graduate to the next level of Tunisian crochet.
Sunset Ruana
As with the Cool Wave Shawl, the Sunset Ruana uses Tunisian simple stitch in another way—Tunisian Entrelac. This technique can be worked in rows or rounds and is something like bite-size Tunisian crochet.
Tunisian Crescent Shawlette
“Not your everyday Tunisian crochet” is a very apt description for the Tunisian Crescent Shawlette. Worked from the outside in, this project features traditional lace elements and a gradient yarn for a contemporary look.
Fable Cowl
Two-color Tunisian crochet in the round – that’s what sets this project apart. Worked in a super bulky yarn on a double-ended hook, this chunky Fable Cowl will give you something to look forward to both creating and wearing this winter.
From simple stitches and lace to entrelac and two-color Tunisian crochet in the round, you’re sure to find something to tickle your fancy in this collection of Tunisian crochet patterns. Check it out and let us know which pattern you’re going to work first! We can’t wait to see what you create!
