backdrop for embroidery and embellishment. The Tunisian strips are also a great time to experiment with new techniques

like Tunisian knit stitch and Tunisian purl stitch.

Tunisian Strips: Make 3 (all stitches are worked on the RS of the fabric, these should each measure approx 1.75” wide before blocking) To begin: Chain 9 Row 1: Insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, yo and bring up loop, * insert hook into next ch, yo and bring up loop; rep from * across (9 loops on hook), yo, pull through 1 loop, * yo, pull through 2 loops; rep from * acros.s (1 loop left on hook) Row 2: Work TSS across 9 sts Repeat Row 2, 29 more times or until pieces measures 8.5”. If repeating this row more than 29 times please make a note for yourself. The number of TSS rows you make, plus 1, will be the number of sc sts you will need when joining the strips. Row 3: * Insert hook under the bar of the next st, yo and bring up a loop, pull this loop through the previous loop on the hook (one loop left); rep from * across (1 loop remains on hook), fasten off.

Joining the strips: Row 1: Join yarn to the upper corner of any strip, RS facing, ch1, 31sc along this edge (or the number equal to the number of TSS rows in your tunisian strips). Row 2: Ch1, turn, 1sc in ea st across. (31sc) Repeat Row 2 four times more. Row 3: Ch1, 1jsc in ea st of this row and the RS of the next tunisian strip (this becomes the center tunisian strip). (31 jsc) Fasten off. Repeat this process with the remaining tunisian strip and join it to the other side of the center strip.

Joining the Squares

There are two options for joining your blanket: Joining Single Crochet

or Lattice Double Crochet

Finished Size: 8.5 x 8.5” Yarn: 1 skein (approx 240yds) Valley Yarns Northampton (100% Wool, 247yds/ 100g) in each of 9 colors: Colorway 1 - Neutrals: Light Grey, Medium Grey, Dark Grey, Sage Heather, Natural, Fawn, Brown Heather, Chocolate, Chestnut Heather Colorway 2 - Autumn: Sunset Orange, Light Green Heather, Dark Green Heather, Garnet, Merlot Heather, Rust, Burgundy, Gold, Dark Olive Heather Colorway 3 - Jewel Tones: Amethyst, Ocean Heather, Merlot Heather, Twilight Heather, Burgundy, Dahlia, Midnight Heather, Dark Navy, Pacific Teal Colorway 4 - Pastels: Sage Heather, Natural, Lake Heather, Spring Purple, Denim Heather, Deep Periwinkle, Bright Pink, Raspberry Heather, Light Grey Hook: US size H/8 (5.00mm) crochet hook or size to obtain gauge Gauge: about 16 sts and 17 rows = 4” in sc

Abbreviations:

ch:chain; dc:double crochet; ea: each; sl st(s): slip stitch(es); sk: skip; sp: space; st(s): stitch(es); yo: yarn over


12

Joining option one: Joining Single Crochet Single crochet along the edge of one square, (always using the same color as the square), break the yarn. Single crochet along the facing side of the next square, do NOT break your yarn. Make sure you have the same number of stitches on both squares! (you can increase or decrease sts as you work along the second square to match the stitch count from the first square). Lay the pieces down, edges facing, and right sides up with the square you’re still connected to closest to you: Keeping the working yarn behind both squares while you work, *insert your hook into the next st on your current square, yarn over and bring that loop though the stitch, now insert your hook into the next/corresponding stitch on the square you are joining to, front to back, yarn over and pull this loop through everything on your hook, this is essentially a slip stitch (one joined single crochet complete); rep from * until all stitches have been worked. On the finished blanket we’ve done this method by single crocheting the first row in the same color as the square and always working the joining single crochet with the color from the square to the left or the square above (the square’s location in the blanket NOT it’s location as you are working the stitches). There is no significance to these choices, but consistency is key to an even appearance to your joins. You could easily use a single color to join the whole blanket or change colors throughout, though I would still suggest picking up your initial stitches in a color matching your square to mitigate the appearance of any inconsistencies. I like to work in strips for this method. After I’ve laid out all the squares in the configuration of the blanket I’ll make neat piles of each row of squares. I’ll join all the squares for the bottom row together, then all the squares for the row above that, then the one above that and so on. Then I’ll join the rows together THE SAME WAY as the squares. Single Crochet along the top of the whole length of the row, repeat that process on the bottom of the second row then join them together. Top of the 2nd row to the bottom of the third and so on. If it makes more sense to you to work from the top of the blanket down or from one side to the other GO for it! Directionality is not important, the process is the same no matter where you start.

Joining option two: Lattice Double Crochet Again, I would suggest doing a row of single crochet in the same color as the square, making sure your have the same number of sts on each square, and then using whichever color you desire for the lattice portion. For this method you’ll need a st count on ea square that is a multiple of 3+1. Lay 2 squares side by side with the Right sides facing you, Join your yarn to the first square on the left, ch2(counts as 1dc), dc in the first st on the right-hand square, *ch2, sk 2sts on the left, dc in the next st, sk 2 sts on the right, dc in the next st; rep from * across both squares. I like to work in strips for this method as well. After I’ve laid out all the squares in the configuration of the blanket I’ll make neat piles of each row of squares. I’ll join all the squares for the bottom row together, then all the squares for the row above that, then the one above that and so on. Then I’ll join the rows together THE SAME WAY as the squares. Single Crochet along the top of the whole length of the row, repeat that process on the bottom of the second row then join them together. Top of the 2nd row to the bottom of the third and so on. If it makes more sense to you to work from the top of the blanket down or from one side to the other GO for it! Directionality is not important, the process is the same no matter where you start. Finishing: Weave in ends and block to settle stitches.

Edging the Blanket

There are two options for edging your blanket: Single Crochet

or Looped Chains

Finished Size: 8.5 x 8.5” Yarn: 1 skein (approx 240yds) Valley Yarns Northampton (100% Wool, 247yds/ 100g) in each of 9 colors: Colorway 1 - Neutrals: Light Grey, Medium Grey, Dark Grey, Sage Heather, Natural, Fawn, Brown Heather, Chocolate, Chestnut Heather Colorway 2 - Autumn: Sunset Orange, Light Green Heather, Dark Green Heather, Garnet, Merlot Heather, Rust, Burgundy, Gold, Dark Olive Heather Colorway 3 - Jewel Tones: Amethyst, Ocean Heather, Merlot Heather, Twilight Heather, Burgundy, Dahlia, Midnight Heather, Dark Navy, Pacific Teal Colorway 4 - Pastels: Sage Heather, Natural, Lake Heather, Spring Purple, Denim Heather, Deep Periwinkle, Bright Pink, Raspberry Heather, Light Grey Hook: US size H/8 (5.00mm) crochet hook or size to obtain gauge Gauge: about 16 sts and 17 rows = 4” in sc

Abbreviations: ch:chain; dc:double crochet; ea: each; sc: single crochet; sl st(s): slip stitch(es); sk: skip; sp: space; st(s): stitch(es); yo: yarn over

Edging One: Single Crochet This one is super simple and ties in nicely with the Joining Single Crochet, but also works beautifully with the Lattice Double Crochet join. Single crochet all along the outer edge of the blanket, re-member to place 3 sc in ea corner to prevent curling(use the same color as the square you’re stitching into for the first row to maximize an even appearance to your edging!) Single crochet around the blanket with each color - don’t forget to do 3sc in the center st of the 3sc from the previous row for your corners!

Edging Two: Looped Chains Again, single crochet all along the outer edge of the blanket remember to place 3 sc in ea corner to prevent curling(use the same color as the square you’re stitching into for the first row to maximize an even appearance to your edging!) Your stitch count for each edge must be a multiple of 5+1 Start in the right most stitch on any side. Row 1: Join yarn, ch1, sc in same st, *Ch6, sk 4 sts, 1sc in next st; rep from * to next corner, (1sc, ch6, 1sc) in corner st; rep from * three times more, join with sl st to first sc, fasten off. Row 2: Join yarn to first sc of last row, ch1, sc in same st, take your hook out of the stitch, reach under the chain loop of the last color and grab your live loop pulling it in front of the previous row, *Ch6, sk ch5 loop, 1sc in next sc; rep from * to next corner, ( sc in same st, take your hook out of the stitch, reach under the chain loop of the last color and grab your live loop pulling it in front of the previous row, *Ch6, sk ch5 loop, 1sc in next sc; rep from * around, join with sl st to first sc, fasten off. repeat Row 2 with each color. Finishing: Weave in ends and block to settle stitches.
