The Learn Tunisian Crochet CAL is here! I worked super hard to get 12 Tunisian squares typed up and videoed for you to learn all about Tunisian Crochet! This is something that I have been thinking about for quite a while and now that it’s here, I wonder where all the time went?

Why Did I Pick Tunisian Crochet?

I really like Tunisian Crochet and noticed that a lot of people in our Facebook Community group had a desire to learn.  Our Friendship Blanket CAL went over so well that I decided…now is the time!  You will learn 12 Tunisian stitches as well as basic Tunisian techniques.  Also learn the zig-zag join (which Helen used for the Friendship CAL), and then bordering it all up!

How it works:

  • Work through each of the squares listed below. There are video tutorials to help you out too!
  • I will show you what border I put around each square, then I will share how I joined the squares and the border.

NOTE

  • If you cannot wait for the squares to be released and would like to get them all in one go a bundle is available for $6 using the button below. This works out at only $0.46 per pattern!

You can sign up to our Events and CALs email. This is different from our standard newsletter which you can sign up to with the pop up box when you access our blog, or add your details in the box in the footer! The events and cals email is sent daily or whenever a pattern is released during an event or cal that I are hosting or participating in. It is generally also filled with other things like free patterns available on the blog, hints and tips and competitions.

I used:

Worsted/Aran/#4 weight yarn–Brava Worsted by Knit Picks in Cornflower, Tidepool, Alfalfa, and mint.  I was able to get 2 squares out of each skein. As there are 12 squares, if you are using the same yarn, you will need 3 of each.  I also used Brava Worsted Speckle in Tidal for borders and joining.
