This Tunisian crochet pattern showcases Tunisian extended stitch, which creates a dots-and-dashes effect. It is one of eight patterns in a Leisure Arts book, Tunisian Crochet Baby Blankets.

You will need a Tunisian hook for this project, either a long, rigid one or a shorter hook with a flexible plastic extension.

Sample uses 3 skeins of white and 2 skeins of clear blue.

The book is available in electronic form on the Leisure Arts website as of December 1, 2013. Print version will be available in January 2014.
