Get ready to explore Tunisian crochet’s fun and easy world with these beginner-friendly patterns! From stylish wraps to cozy blankets, there’s something here for every new crocheter to enjoy!
When I first started Tunisian crochet, I had trouble understanding the long hooks and different stitches. But once I got going, it was actually super easy!
Tunisian is a neat kind of crochet that is meditative to work on, thanks to the row repeats (I find the return passes to be particularly satisfying). But it can also be used to make a variety of projects.
Today, I’m excited to share 15 beginner-friendly Tunisian crochet patterns with you. Whether you’re a seasoned crocheter looking to try something new or a beginner eager to learn, there’s a project for everyone.
Tunisian crochet offers endless possibilities, from cozy scarves and stylish shawls to practical coasters and adorable cup cozies.
Plus, its tight-knit look is perfect for keeping out the cold, preventing condensation from dripping onto your nice wood table, and keeping your hands from burning when you’re holding a cup of hot coffee.
Now, let’s get started!
