Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn in a soft cream color
• Hook: Tunisian crochet hook size 10mm
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 10 rows in Tunisian simple stitch = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 60 stitches. To do this, make a slip knot and chain 60. Ensure that your chain is not too tight; it should be comfortable to work with.
2. First Row - Tunisian Simple Stitch:
   • Insert your hook into the second chain from the hook (this is the first vertical bar).
   • Yarn over and pull up a loop. Keep this loop on your hook.
   • Continue inserting your hook into each vertical bar of the chain, yarn over, and pull up a loop until you reach the end of the chain. You should have 60 loops on your hook.
3. Return Pass:
   • Yarn over and pull through the first loop on your hook (this creates the chain one).
   • Yarn over again and pull through two loops on your hook. Repeat this process until you have one loop remaining on your hook. This completes your first row.
4. Subsequent Rows:
   • For each new row, work in Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS) again. Insert your hook into the next vertical bar of the previous row, yarn over, and pull up a loop. Keep all loops on the hook.
   • After completing the row, perform the return pass as described in step 3.
   • Continue repeating this process until your blanket measures approximately 60 inches in length.
5. Binding Off: Once you reach the desired length, it's time to bind off. To do this, slip stitch across the last row. Insert your hook into the first loop, yarn over, and pull through the loop and the next loop on your hook. Repeat this until you reach the end of the row.
6. Finishing Touch: Weave in all ends using a yarn needle to ensure a clean finish. This will help your blanket look polished and professional.

Now that you have completed your cozy Tunisian crochet blanket, find a cozy spot to snuggle up with it or gift it to someone special. Happy crocheting!
