✨ Stitch Glossary:
Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS):
Insert hook from right to left behind the vertical front bar of next stitch, YO, pull up loop, leave on hook.
📏 Finished Size:
Customize it! For a baby blanket:
Width: Start with 100 chains (adjust as needed, multiple of 2)
Length: Work until desired height, approx. 90 rows
🔸 Pattern Instructions:
🔹 Foundation Row (with Color A):
- Ch 100 (or multiple of 2 for desired width)
FwdP: - Insert hook in 2nd ch from hook, YO, pull up loop.
- Repeat in each ch across. (100 loops on hook)
RetP:
- YO, pull through 1 loop (for edge).
- YO, pull through 2 loops across until 1 loop remains.
🔹 Row 1 (Color A)
FwdP:
- Insert hook under next vertical bar, YO, pull up loop — repeat across (100 loops)
RetP: - YO, pull through 2 loops across to end.
🔹 Row 2 (Color A)
Same as Row 1.
At end of RetP:
- Before final pull through 2 loops, switch to Color B.
🔹 Row 3 (Color B)
FwdP:
- Work TSS under both front vertical bars of each stitch (this gives that deep “V” effect).
- Pull up a loop in each stitch across.
RetP:
- YO, pull through 2 loops across to end.
🔹 Row 4 (Color B)
Same as Row 3.
At end of RetP:
- Before final pull through 2 loops, switch to Color A.
🔄 Repeat Rows 1-4
Continue alternating 2 rows Color A, 2 rows Color B until desired length is reached.
🔸 Final Row (Bind-Off)
- With Color A, insert hook under vertical bar as for TSS, YO, pull through both loop and loop on hook (like a sl st).
- Repeat across to finish.
- Fasten off.
📐 Border (Optional but recommended)
To reduce curling and neaten the edges:
- Attach Color B anywhere on edge.
- Work 1 sc in each stitch/row end around.
- 3 sc in each corner.
- Sl st to join.
- Optional: Repeat another round of sc or crab stitch (reverse sc) for thickness.
✨ Tips:
✔️ Use a slightly larger hook to reduce curling.
✔️ Block your blanket when finished (damp blocking works for acrylic).
✔️ You can use 3 or 4 colors too, changing every 2 rows for a rainbow effect.
🎨 Color Sequence Example:
| Row | Color |
|---|---|
| 1-2 | A |
| 3-4 | B |
| 5-6 | A |
| 7-8 | B |
| Repeat |
