This downloadable, printable pattern is available in my Etsy shop.
This project employs the Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS). However, a Tunisian crochet hook is not required, as the square is small enough that a regular crochet hook can be used.
A simple, 2-round border is added to make a lovely dishcloth or hot pad. This is a good project for yarn scraps, as each triangle can be made in a different color.
In this pattern, you will learn a seaming technique that is similar to the mattress stitch, but it has been adapted for the Tunisian Simple Stitch.
Charts/diagrams are included in the written pattern.
Materials. 1.0 oz (28 g / 48 yds / 44 m) of 100% cotton worsted weight (#4) yarn. Photo above shows Lily Sugar’n Cream 100% cotton in White and Hot Blue.
Tools. H-8/5.0 mm regular crochet hook, or size recommended by yarn manufacturer (Tunisian hook is not necessary), tapestry needle, stitch marker.
Gauge. 14 sts wide and 14 rows high in 4” (10 cm). Gauge is less important than keeping the piece a perfect square.
Size. 7” x 7” (18 cm x 18 cm).
(See the “Simple Tunisian Coaster” and the “Walk the Line Coaster” patterns in
my Etsy shop for practice in achieving a perfect square.)
