This is a 12-page crochet pattern instant download PDF and photo tutorial. It 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. There is no need for a Tunisian crochet hook for this pattern, as the squares can be crocheted using a regular crochet hook. The border of the blanket is done in single crochet. This pattern was designed for the intermediate crochet level. You should be familiar with single crochet, slip stitch, Tunisian simple stitch, Tunisian reverse stitch, and Tunisian knit stitch.
