Tunisian Crochet Today includes 7 different patterns to practise your crochet skills. You’ll find projects to make in the following categories:
Do you see the elegant blanket (below)? The one draped over the deck chair? This blanket is called Essential Pleasure. If I had to choose my favourite design in this collection, Essential Pleasure is definitely the one.
The Triple Amusement handbag is great for carrying your essentials. The handbag when finished measures 11.5″ wide and 10″ deep (not including the handles).
You can also make the Go Green tote. This super durable tote is sturdy enough to carry library books! The tote when finished measures 13″ wide and 17.5″ long (not including the handles). To see an image of this please view the table of contents near the top of my post above.
This publication also includes 3 pillow patterns you can crochet.
If you are newer to Tunisian crochet you may want to start with one of these smaller sized projects – to become comfortable with the hook and stitches used.
If you are looking for a great project – or even a house-warming gift – the Reversible Kickshaw Place Mats and Coasters would be ideal. The place mats measure 20″ x 14″ and the coasters measure 4″ x 4″.
Tunisian Crochet Today includes a fantastic section called Getting Started with Tunisian Crochet. This section includes written instructions and diagrams to teach you the basic skills you need to complete these projects.
Tunisian Crochet Today can be purchased at Amazon.
