Pattern Notes

Knowledge of Tunisian is assumed. TSS is the stitch that is used with several different return pass stitches. If you don’t know Tunisian then the only stitch you need to learn is the Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS). The pattern will explain the rest.

The pattern is rated intermediate because of the different elements involved to make the pouch NOT the complexity of stitches.

Small Pillow is optional and designed to fit inside the pouch, if desired.
