Tunisian crochet scarf patterns are the perfect way to try out this new hybrid style craft! After all, you’re just making a long rectangle, right? Well, I have the perfect beginner Tunisian crochet pattern for you here using a stitch that gives a beautiful texture when paired with variegated hand-dyed yarn. The best part is that it’s reversible AND a one-skein project!

This is a scarf that I started during Ramadan with the intention of donating and it fits perfectly with the Crochet for a Cause theme. Crochet for a Cause is an event hosted by Ashley of Edythblayn where every Monday two scarf/hat patterns are released and the pattern PDFs are available for free throughout the week. This event will run throughout summer so you can grab all of the patterns and get some good charity crochet in! The goal is to have a good pile of handmade goodies ready to donate at the end of summer!

This week my Tunisian Giving Scarf pattern is the featured pattern – where you can get the pattern PDF for FREE from June 29th to July 5th, 2020 (11:59pm EST)!

Click the button below to see the other featured patterns!

Materials:

For this Tunisian crochet spin on a crochet infinity scarf, I used hand-dyed yarn from Fatima of Aquarius Make in this gorgeous variegated colorway with beautiful neutrals. Fatima is an amazing indie yarn dyer and she has a shop update and sale going on right now, make sure to go check her shop out below.

For this pattern, I used one cake of light 3 DK weight yarn, 75% Superwash Merino Wool and 25% Nylon approximately 246 yards.

Shop hand-dyed yarn at Aquarius Make

You will need a 5.0 mm Tunisian crochet hook or a 5.0 mm straight crochet hook that is at least 6 in. in length. I got creative and used my Clover knitting needlepoint protector as a stopper to turn it into a straight hook. You can check out my full review of the Clover Takumi Interchangeable Tunisian crochet hook set here.

About the Tunisian Honeycomb Stitch:

If you have never tried the Tunisian crochet honeycomb stitch, you’re in for a treat! This stitch is my favorite of all the Tunisian crochet stitches because it looks good on just about any weight and type of yarn! I have a video tutorial taking you through how to do it here.

Abbreviations:

Ch – Chain
Tss – Tunisian Simple Stitch
Tps – Tunisian Purl Stitch

Gauge:

22 sts over 15 rows for a 4 x 4 in. square in Honeycomb Stitch

This pattern is for a reversible one-skein textured Tunisian crochet infinity scarf. It’s the perfect mindless project to practice Tunisian crochet and learn a new stitch!

This pattern uses a few Tunisian crochet techniques. Use the following video tutorials as needed:

Pattern rows are Forward pass instructions.

The following instructions are implied:
- The loop already on the hook at the beginning of the row counts as the first st.
- Always Tunisian simple stitch in the last st of the row, being sure to work under both loops of the st.

Return Pass: Follow the foundation row and each row with the Return Pass in the same color unless a color change is needed.
- Return Pass Instructions: Ch 1, *yarn over, pull through two loops; repeat from * until 1 loop remains on the hook.

Abbreviations:

Ch: Chain
Sl st: Slip stitch
Tss: Tunisian simple stitch
Tps: Tunisian purl stitch
RetP: Return Pass -Explained above

Pattern Instructions:

Ch 30
Row 1 (Foundation Row): Pick up a loop in the back bump of each chain. Complete normal RetP. (30 sts)
Row 2: (Tss, Tps)* Rep * across. (30 sts)
Row 3: (Tps, Tss)* Rep * across. (30 sts)

This is what the pattern repeat should look like after a few rows:

Continue repeat till you’ve reached your desired length. For the scarf pictured, the total length was 32 inches (16 in. doubled/after looping). It could easily be doubled over as a cowl as seen below.

Bind off and do not cut, keep remaining yarn as a tail. Fold scarf in half, align stitches, and whip stitch ends together or join using your preferred method of seaming to form a loop. Weave in ends as neatly as possible and cut yarn.

This scarf would make the perfect #makefoyoself project. What is #makefoyoself you ask? Continue reading to find out!

A couple of years ago, I really felt burnt out by constantly making things for others and for my business and needed a project just for myself to slow down and enjoy the craft again. This is when I came up with my hashtag #makefoyoself which encourages fellow makers to take a breather and make a mindless project just for themselves. You can check out the hashtag by clicking below! The project doesn’t necessarily have to be a project for yourself, it can be an item you’re making for donation too. The Tunisian Giving Scarf is a great first project to start with since it’s an easy crochet pattern and works up super fast!

Get inspiration and #makefoyoself!

Crochet Wall Hanging Pattern- Sun Showers Wall Hanging

Pin this pattern now and make later

If you’re looking for a fun crochet wall hanging or crochet wall decor ideas, check out this fun new Tunisian crochet and cross stitch pattern!

The inspiration behind this crochet wall art comes from those rain showers that happen in the midst of sunshine. I find those kinds of rain showers so peaceful and full of hope. Lately, I have been wanting to create modern crochet home decor pieces with kids in mind. This wall hanging is the perfect cheerful kid-friendly twist on modern wall art. Although I usually focus on Tunisian crochet colorwork, this cross stitch technique is a refreshing alternative for this piece and I really enjoy this mindless quick project!

It’s the season for summer crochet patterns and the Sun Showers Wall Hanging fits in perfectly! The Tunisian crochet stitches create a wonderful grid for cross stitch patterns! I recently uploaded a tutorial on YouTube for how to cross stitch on Tunisian crochet in anticipation of this pattern release! Check it out below!

I actually learned how to cross-stitch when I was in Grade 7 but after a while, I lost interest due to the small stitches. Recently, I watched Toni from TLYarncrafts do the exact same thing but with yarn. I became intrigued and decided to give it a try myself. Obsessed is the accurate word here!

I hope you love this Tunisian crochet + cross stitch crochet wall hanging pattern as much as I do. It would look perfect as a crochet baby wall hanging if you are looking for some crochet nursery decor ideas.

My first crochet table runner pattern is LIVE! If you are looking for modern crochet table runner patterns for beginners, you are in the right place! This is my first crochet for kitchen design. The set comes complete with a crochet table runner in two sizes and a crochet kitchen towel pattern.

This post may contain Amazon Affiliate and Happily Hooked Magazine Affiliate links for which I may get a small commission at no extra cost to you.

My Tunisian Honeycomb Kitchen Set design is officially published In this month’s @happilyhookedmagazine issue which is centered around housewarming gift designs! It is a super fun Tunisian crochet mindless make and you end up with a gorgeous set for your home! I also incorporated a bit of twine for a farmhouse touch! It has been hard keeping this one a secret because I loved how it turned out. It is made with a Size M/13 9 mm hook with a 12 in. cord (check out my favorite hook set here) and Bernat Maker Home Decor Yarn.⁣ Of all the tunisian crochet stitches, I LOVE the honeycomb stitch because it looks good on any type of yarn and color and is full of texture! Another thing is that the honeycomb stitch doesn’t cause curling like the Tunisian simple stitch does.

This crochet table runner was inspired by a gift idea I had for my mom last year! She needed a runner to cover the top of a new cabinet she got for the kitchen so she could place items on top without it getting dirty. So I thought I’d crochet a cover for her. The cover idea turned into this beautiful table runner and I couldn’t be happier!

It will be a 3 part Tunisian Crochet Along with full video tutorials. The way it will work is each week on Friday, I will release one part of the TCAL on my YouTube channel.

About the Pattern:

This is a beginner level Tunisian crochet pattern that you can complete in a few hours. The pattern uses bulky yarn and works up super quick and makes for a perfect gift for the little ones in your life. You can make it with Bernat Blanket yarn and Lion Brand Yarn Go For Faux.

Initially, I made this bunny with Michael’s Sweet Snuggles yarn which is a super soft and squishy yarn. I liked the overall look but found it to be a bit bulky and the yarn is not easily accessible. It would also require a larger hook.

I decided to try it with Bernat Blanket yarn since Bernat blanket is a more accessible and readily available yarn and I love how it turned out! The finished bunny measures 18 inches from ears to feet and 10 inches across from one arm to the other arm.

You will make the pattern as follows:

I have divided the following steps into three parts in videos I’ll be sharing throughout the TCAL.

Make the face and embroider with size 4 worsted weight yarn in a contrasting color.
Continue making the neck and body.
Continue making a mirror image of the neck and body (so it will be one long piece that will be folded over and sewn while stuffing with polyfill).
Make legs with the Bernat Blanket yarn.
Crochet arms and sew onto the body.
Work ears and weave in all ends!

You will learn how to:

-Tunisian crochet foundation row and Tunisian Simple Stitch
-Increase stitches in Tunisian crochet
-Decrease stitches in Tunisian crochet
-Embroider a face onto a crochet project
-Make a pom pom
-Make a magic circle and crochet in rounds

Pin this Crochet Scrunchie Pattern Now and Make it Later

If you’re looking for a super cute and easy free crochet scrunchie pattern you are in the right place! Follow along with a full 7-minute video tutorial!

Are you all about that scrunchie life? I am loving that this trend is coming back because as a kid I used to love scrunchies and would steal my mom’s scrunchies all the time. Now I can make my own! I have put together a full crochet scrunchie beginner video tutorial on my YouTube channel. All you need is some worsted weight size 4 yarn, an elastic hair tie, a crochet hook and about 7 minutes!

This post contains Amazon Affiliate links from which I may get a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Materials

Caron Simply Soft in Tweeds – Taupe colorway or a similar size 4 worsted weight yarn
Goody Elastic Hair Ties for Medium Hair
Clover 5.5 mm soft-grip crochet hook
Yarn needle
Scissors

Shop all of my Amazon Faves in my store here

I love that scrunchies are so versatile. You can wear them as a bracelet or wear them in your hair for different looks! For this crochet scrunchie pattern, I used the treble crochet stitch. This is a super fun stitch that adds nice length and gives a nice frilly effect. This crochet scrunchie is perfect to add to your store inventory or for markets! These can also be made with velvet yarn to give a luxurious effect. I have a different version of velvet scrunchies available in my Etsy shop for purchase (ship to US and Canada only).

Purchase finished velvet scrunchies from my shop here

Watch the full 7-minute video tutorial over here

Pattern:

Make a slip knot with the yarn around the elastic band leaving a 6 in. tail. Ch 3 and treble crochet around the elastic hair tie until there are enough treble crochet stitches to fill the band to your liking. Sl st into the first st and leaving a 6 in. tail, cut yarn. Weave in ends. Optional: Add a small amount of glue to the sl st join spot to secure the hair tie and let dry. I personally have not added glue but I have heard that this keeps the scrunchie secure.
