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.
Today only, get the PDF for free on Ravelry as part of the International Crochet Month Blog Hop. Use code FREEPEAKS, code will expire at 11:59 PM EST on March 14th.
