This is a 13 page downloadable PDF format pattern for a colorful, fun and modern Tunisian Crochet baby blanket. It includes a detailed photo tutorial which explains how to create 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 method creates the squares in straight columns. You can crochet the squares in this blanket using a regular crochet hook! The border is done in single crochet. This pattern is designed for the intermediate crochet level. However, even an adventurous 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, Tunisian reverse stitch, and Tunisian knit stitch. Dimensions of the finished blanket are approximately 32” x 32”.
