This is a 13-page Tunisian crochet pattern instant download PDF and photo tutorial. It was designed to teach you how to make continuous 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. There is no need for a Tunisian crochet hook to crochet this afghan, as it can be crocheted using a regular crochet hook! Detailed instructions are given for the mitered squares and close-up photos help to explain how they are joined to one another. The border is done in single crochet. This pattern 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. This blanket is crocheted with worsted weight yarn, so it is very thick and warm. Dimensions of the finished blanket are approximately 34” x 34”.
