Hippie Dippie Woodstock was inspired by the psychedelic 60s culture and music era and was designed with the brightest self-striping yarn I could find. This hexagon pattern is stitched using TITR (Tunisian in the Round) and is suitable for competent beginner/intermediate Tunisian crocheters. The blanket is constructed centre out, in one piece with a variety of iconic peace, heart, psychedelic, flower and leaf graphics. Strategic colour changes using self-striping yarn and a contrast solid create great visual impact and texture. Pattern includes 3 border options, “flowers”, “flowers and leaves”, or lettering that spells out “Love” and “Love is all you need”. It could easily be a stashbuster project in rainbow colours and I’ve included yarn requirements.

TITR techniques using double- ended cabled hooks are an absolute game changer. It is the best technique in crochet for lettering, graphics and mosaic designs with no yarn stranding or carries.
You will learn how start a TITR hexagon, read colour coded stitch charts (trust me, much easier than following round by round written instructions) and complete a piece of “heART”. I have included many hints on how to avoid yarn tangles, make colour changes, fix mistakes (it happens) and will guide you to success.
I’ve taught hundreds of ultimately successful students, some beginners to Tunisian crochet, and received rave reviews. I learn something every time I teach and am excited to share my techniques and patterns. I’ve been exploring TITR (Tunisian in the Round) for more than 7 years, created the method for charting designs, introduced the idea of using a smaller return pass hook to minimize tension differences and literally wrote the first TITR book, Learn Tunisian Crochet In the Round, published by Annies in 2021.
You will need interchangeable hooks with a variety of cable lengths that you can change as the project grows.
