Textured Tunisian Crochet Blanket Pattern | The Udelia

Our Udelia throw, a textured Tunisian crochet blanket pattern, features a distinctive stitch that may be new to you. Paired with the Tunisian Simple Stitch and adorned with fringe tassels, this blanket offers ultimate coziness!

We were blown away by the response from our last Tunisian crochet pattern, the Taylor, a sampler blanket pattern that mixed a self-striping ombre yarn and a solid color yarn.

I knew I had a challenge to follow that one up with another pattern. It’s probably my favorite pattern I’ve designed to date, but the Udelia is following closely behind.

Why? I saw a blanket on Pottery Barn selling for $119, and I thought, “I Can Crochet That!”

And the Udelia blanket was born.

Here’s the Pottery Barn blanket named the Bryn. (Not to be confused with our Bryn blanket. 😉 )

And ours…

How much did ours cost to make? Around $30, and, well, all the hours it took to make it. lol, But we crocheters don’t mind all the hours!

Description

Create a cozy, textured throw using two easy Tunisian crochet techniques: the Tunisian Simple Stitch (Tss) and the Tunisian Bean Stitch. The bean stitch stands out, providing remarkable depth when combined with the simple stitch. This crochet throw is enjoyable to make and perfect for enhancing your home décor or giving as a thoughtful handmade gift.

The Stitches

I love the regular crochet bean stitch so much, and so do you, it seems! Our Finley blanket, featuring this stitch, is our most popular pattern to date.

I really wanted to create a Tunisian crochet blanket with a similar stitch. After searching the depths of YouTube, I found one tutorial for this stitch. After a it of practice and experimenting, the Udelia blanket was born.

Notes

• Finished size measures 44 1/2 x 61 1/2 (without fringe)
• For the bean stitch, be sure to pull up the first and second loop higher than you normally would. This makes the Return Pass a bit easier.
• The Return Pass for the bean stitch is different than your regular Return Pass. You still chain 1 at the beginning, but then you will yarn over and pull through 4 loops on your hook

• Video tutorial for the simple stitch is HERE
• For the border, sc2 means single crochet twice in the same stitch
