And here they are
Square 1 - Tunisian Simple or Basic Stitch
I love the woven effect you get and it makes a dense fabric which is great for bags if you don't like lining them (like me)
Square 2 - Tunisian Crossed Stitch
A bit fiddly at first but soon got the hang of it
Square 3 - Tunisian Knit Stitch
Love the effect of this stitch - amazing that I got something that looks like knitting with a crochet hook
Square 4 - Tunisian Bias Stitch
Same stitch pattern as Crossed but by working 2nd row one stitch over you get diagonal lines
Square 5 - Tunisian Purl Stitch
I initially struggled with this one and was convinced I wasn't doing it right but a look at some online vids showed me I was (as well as showing me a handy hint for tunisian in general). It took some perseverance but I eventually got the hang of it.
Square 6 - Tunisian Rib Stitch
This stitch has got my imagination going, this is 3 simple 3 purl, wonder what it would look like with 3 knit 3 purl or if I worked it in a chequerboard. Also think it would make a lovely skirt in a tweedy yarn.
Square 7 - Tunisian Lace Stitch
Gorgeous lace pattern that this photo really does not do justice to.
Square 8 - Tunisian Honeycomb Stitch
Again the photo does not do this lovely pattern justice but I'm not David Bailey.
Square 9 - Tunisian Popcorn Stitch
Hmm again my not so good photography skills not helping here
So there you have it 9 squares down, many more to go.
Wow! One of my crafty resolutions for this year is to learn Tunisian Crochet! I have a hook and some wool and am ready to go - I love the effect you get with it - so pretty. Can't wait to see your finished throw.

Did you ever post more Tunisian squares? I didn't find them but am eager to see!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that it's been a while since I did any tunisian crochet, however I have been flicking through one of my books and if I get a chance to sit down with hook and yarn more squares may be posted. All I can say is watch this space but don't hold your breath.
DeletePlease see new blog post with new square
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI am in love with the 7th square. Do you have a pattern for it or a more official name so perhaps I can find a pattern? Thanks! Keep up the great work!
