Inspiration
A couple of months ago, I was invited to participate in a fun challenge by Hobbii Yarn, the Japandi Challenge and I had to hop on! The challenge was based on a Japanese x Scandinavian theme – and we were invited to explore and interpret these themes through our pattern designing skills.
I chose to create a Tunisian crochet scarf using Hobbii Pearly Haze (the softest most beautiful yarn I have ever used) to represent the Japandi theme. I decided on these beautiful soft colors that worked so well together. I chose Turkish Blue, Teal, and Cream. Initially, I did a poll to ask whether you all wanted stripes or colorblock sections for the color work and a lot of people said stripes but the designer in my couldn’t let go of the idea of color blocks so I did a mix of both. The scarf has a lot of character and can be worn in many different ways! Of course I had to finish off with some fringe to complete the look!
A huge thank you to Hobbi Yarn for providing the yarn for this pattern!

About Pattern
This pattern is inspired by the Japanese and Scandinavian aesthetic. This scarf will be a simple and relaxing design created with the Tunisian knit stitch and some basic colorwork. Fringe will be added to finish off the design. Tunisian crochet is making a comeback and this pattern will be great for beginners and advanced crocheters alike for getting familiar with the basic Tunisian crochet stitches and minimalist colorwork design. It will be the perfect addition to any winter wardrobe! This pattern is worked flat in one piece, bottom-up. The techniques used in this pattern include Tunisian crochet knit stitch and changing colors in Tunisian crochet. This pattern can be completed by an advanced-beginner. The pattern includes video tutorials for the techniques used. The pattern is divided into 4 sections and each section has an accompanying overview picture and color chart provided.
Hook: Size L 8.0 mm Tunisian crochet hook at least 12 in. long or with 12 in. cord and stopper. I used my Furls Cruella Deville Tunisian crochet hook. It is currently not in stock but my other faves are the Clover Takumi Tunisian crochet hooks or the Denise Interchangeable Hooks!
The kit consists of a choice of 16 or 26 Wander skeins, hook, tote, and digital pattern. You can choose from 4 color palettes in order to create the hypnotic spiral design in one of two sizes.

Tunisian Knit Stitch Square Inspiration:
The arrowheads are a cute touch reminiscent of the directions when you are on a mountain trail. The perfect cozy touch to a Wild One themed blanket! For this square, I wanted to try something different for those who prefer not to do color work. The duplicate stitch is another alternative to doing color work and it works perfectly on the Tunisian knit stitch square. You would complete it exactly the same way as you would on a knitted piece.
Although you can use yarn from your stash, since this is a themed blanket, it’s preferable you use the same colors. I used Comfy Worsted yarn which was kindly gifted by We Crochet!
US 10 6 mm Tunisian crochet hook with a 12 in. cord and stopper – I used the Radiant Wood Interchangeable Tunisian crochet hook with cord and stopper gifted from We Crochet.
Note: Complete a solid square using only Col B in Tunisian knit stitch. After completing the solid square, you will use the duplicate stitch to embroider arrowheads onto the solid square. Refer to the chart above.
Watch the complete tutorial here for the Tunisian Knit Stitch Square Arrowheads Pattern:
Row 1: Ch 25 with Col B and complete foundation row.
Rows 2 to 30: Tks across.
Turn square upside down and embroider arrowheads using duplicate stitch with Col C double stranded as seen in the chart and in the video tutorial.
Bind off, leave a 6 in. tail and cut yarn. Weave in loose ends. Steam block square to dimensions. Repeat until you have 4 squares.

My friend Arunima of the @knitterknotter hosted an amazing Tunisian crochet Blaket CAL 2021 that ran for the entire year and includes a different Tunisian crochet square patterns!
I love the pop of texture this braided cable crochet stitch gives against the purl stitches. The alternating panels of Tunisian knit and purl stitches really create a beautiful design. The panel of honeycomb in the middle just adds a nice touch! I had to include the Tunisian honeycomb stitch because it’s one of my favorites Tunisian crochet stitches!

This pattern uses a few Tunisian crochet techniques. Use the following video tutorials as needed:
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.
Pattern Notes continued…
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.
Note: Measure your gauge swatch across unstretched and stretched. Note the two numbers and subtract to find the difference. This is how much you will need to subtract from the head circumference measurement to determine total length.
Example:
The Gauge swatch stretched is 5 in. and unstretched it is 4 in. 5 -4 = 1 in. You will need to subtract 1 in. from the head circumference measurement.
21 in. head circumference – 1 in. = 20 in. This means you will need to work the piece to a total length of 20 in. Substitute this number for X in the pattern below.
Note: Depending on the stretchiness of yarn and head size of the toddler/child, you may want to decrease the width by 1 or 2 stitches.
Row 1 (Foundation Row): Pick up a loop in the back bump of each chain. Complete normal RetP. (11 sts)
Rows 2: Tks across. Complete normal RetP (11 sts)
Rep Row 2 for the desired length as calculated above (head circumference – X in.) For the child size, continue to 19 in. for a head circumference of 20 in. based on the calculation. This can easily be customized using the calculation.
Bind off. Fold in half with the wrong side out and whip st the edges together or sl st across. Leaving a 30 in. tail, cut yarn. Cinch and wrap yarn around until a 6 in. tail remains. Weave in all loose ends.
