A free version of this pattern will be available on my website.

This pattern consists of a total of 70 squares. I am unable to offer two versions of this pattern in Ravelry but if you are interested in purchasing 25 large squares for $19.99, you can find the details on my website.

Welcome to the Tunisian Blanket CAL of 2025! This marks the sixth year of our blanket CAL, and I’m thrilled to share this year’s project with you.

For the 2025 CAL, we’ll be making 70 squares—25 large and 45 small—each featuring a unique blackwork-inspired pattern. The CAL will run from January 7th until just before Thanksgiving (see the full schedule below). Throughout the CAL, I’ll be releasing patterns for all 70 squares, along with instructions for joining them and adding a border to the blanket.

I’m so proud of how my blanket turned out, and I can’t wait to see yours! I hope you’re as excited about this CAL as I am. Let’s make some beautiful blankets together!

TECHNIQUE AND DIFFICULTY
Intermediate - This pattern requires familiarity with starting and ending a Tunisian crochet project, as well as the following stitches (US Terms): Tunisian Simple Stitch, Tunisian Double Stitch, Tunisian Treble Stitch. Additionally, knowledge of Extended Tunisian Crochet stitches is necessary.

Note: This pattern is classified as intermediate, but it can be considered advanced if you choose to use black yarn.

If you’re new to this technique, consider taking the course ‘A Guide to Blackwork with Tunisian Mosaic Crochet’ before starting this CAL.

• Small squares: 4.5” (11.5 cm)
• Border: 3” (7.75 cm) wide
• Blanket: 65” (165 cm)

YARN
For my blanket, I used Hawthorne DK yarn by WeCrochet / KnitPicks in the following colors: Gold Hill Tonal and Blackbird Kettle

HOOK
For my squares and the border, I used a 6.5 mm (K-10.5) Tunisian crochet hook. To join the squares and add the finishing touches to the blanket, I used a 5.5 mm (I-9) crochet hook.
