Since I’ve been bitten by the Tunisian crochet bug, I’ve been scouring the web for good patterns. I’m not quite ready for striking out on my own with anything more complex than a scarf. I know that it is possible to Tunisian crochet any existing crochet pattern with a bit of thought, but I wanted to find patterns specifically written for this method. Here is my short-list.
1. Tokyo Vest by the fantastic Doris Chan
In a longer version this would make a great beach wrap
2. Happy Monday Vest by Aoibhe Ni
To my shame I can’t pronounce Aoibhe’s name but she also has some truly stunning Tunisian crochet shawls on her website that are well beyond the run of the mill.
3. Tunisian Ripple Scarf by Elisa Purnell
What a beautiful colour
4. Double Spiral Afghan by Margaret Zellner
M A K E M E !
5. Birchbark Slippers by Mr. Micawber’s Recipe for Happiness
Trendy slippers
The name would be pronounced Eve or Eva. I love that Tokyo vest. I’ll have to check some of these out as I get on with my WIPs and plan the next WIP.
Celtic totally amazes me!
And her patterns are really worth paying for!
I have always wanted to try this! I particularly like the Birchbark Slippers!
It takes little mental agility to get the technique but it’s fun.
