Check out this free crochet potholder pattern made with two fun Tunisian crochet stitches resulting in beautiful texture!
I had so much fun coming up with this super textured functional design for the International Crochet Month Blog Hop. Every day, this month, a new permanently free crochet pattern will be released. Each pattern represents something the designer loves about crochet – a favorite stitch, technique, project type, etc. The PDF version of the pattern will also be free (with a coupon code).
I chose to use the Tunisian smock stitch since I never really used it in any of my designs! This stitch is so fun to work up and gives a beautiful texture and pairing it with the purl stitch really made the stitches pop! I am so happy with how it turned out! I hope you enjoy making this double-sided potholder showcasing these beautiful stitches.
