Tunisian (Afghan) Crochet

I have been playing about with Tunisian crochet lately (also known as Afghan crochet) but have not really made anything with it …. until now!

I purchased a cheap pack of Tunisian crochet hooks from Amazon. I didn’t want to spend too much on them just in case I hated it lol.

Happily I can say I don’t hate it, I absolutely love this sort of crochet. It’s like a hybrid of crochet and knitting, using a long needle like knitting but with a crochet hook on the end. See pic:

The Tunisian simple stitch (TSS) pattern is so easy once you get into it and the texture of the finished piece turns out really lovely. It creates a quite dense fabric, perfect for warm cosy pillows, blankets and Afghans.

I found this easy to follow pattern / tutorial:

http://www.simplycrochetmag.co.uk/2014/10/30/tunisian-crochet-expert-guide/

I was originally planning on making a white and lemon check baby blanket but I changed my mind halfway through (as you do 😂) and I am now in the process of making a tote bag.

Here’s a few pictures of what the Tunisian simple stitch (TSS) looks like. The front side looks a bit like a grid:

The back looks wavy / bumpy:

The added bonus of this simple pattern is it gives a grid like finish to the front side of pattern, which makes it so easy to add surface crochet / cross stitch on to.

Not really neat and I haven’t got a clue what I’m trying to make with the cross stitch above but hey you get the idea …. right?!

I can feel endless possibilities of new ideas coming to life!

See you all soon with more ideas and projects

Shamrock Granny Square Crochet – Pattern Link

Shamrock Granny Square Crochet – Pattern Link. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!. Create this great little project to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on March 17th.

Here’s a bit of general knowledge about St. Patrick’s Day, if you fancy reading it!

St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated all over the world on the 17th March each year to mark the anniversary of St. Patrick’s death (Patron saint of Ireland). This information was found from www.history.com

St. Patrick’s Day observes of the death of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. The holiday has evolved into a celebration of Irish culture with parades, special foods, music, dancing, drinking and a whole lot of green.

Want to know 7 surprising facts about St. Patrick’s Day and legends? Check this blog out at http://www.history.com https://www.history.com/news/st-patricks-day-facts

Anyway, enough of the history lesson! Let’s get on with the Shamrock Granny Square Crochet project.

Carrying on with the St. Patrick’s Day theme from a couple of weeks ago where I made the Shamrock Crochet Brooch Pattern – Free Link. I took the inspiration from this to make a solid granny square to celebrate this theme.

For your Shamrock Granny Square Crochet you will need:

4mm crochet hook

DK yarn –

Green – Stylecraft Special DK yarn

White – Stylecraft Special DK yarn

Darning needle to sew in the loose ends

Process

Create your granny square and brooch from the pattern links above.

Attach the four leaf clover brooch to the centre of each granny square and add an extra row around outside edge of granny square.

Make as many as you need and swap the contrasting colours, like I have done. These could be turned into a blanket or table runner, you decide.
