This is a Tunisian crochet pattern instant download PDF and photo tutorial for the Stash Buster Striped Squares Bag. This is a great project for using up all of your scraps of yarn from your yarn stash! This bag has the look of knitting with the ease of crocheting! Best of all, you can crochet the squares in this bag using a regular crochet hook! This pattern was designed to teach you how to make mitered squares which are joined together with the Tunisian Entrelac technique. This means that there is no need to sew the squares together, because they are joined as you go! Whereas traditional entrelac crochet joins the squares together in a “stair-step” fashion, this pattern creates the squares in straight columns. Detailed instructions are given for the mitered squares and close-up photos help to explain how they are joined to one another. This 16-page crochet pattern and photo tutorial is designed for the intermediate crochet level. However, it is easy enough to follow that even a beginner at Tunisian crochet who has learned the stitches and knows how to follow a pattern can create this as well. You should be familiar with single crochet, slip stitch, Tunisian simple stitch, and Tunisian knit stitch.
