This beginner Tunisian crochet blanket pattern offers a fresh and unique design that I’m sure you’re going to love! If you enjoyed working on the Roshan Blanket, you’re definitely going to enjoy this one.
I am really excited to share the second blanket in my textured Tunisian crochet blanket series with you – the Aditya Blanket! An easy crochet pattern for all skill levels.
Just like its predecessor, the Aditya Blanket is designed with simplicity and mindfulness in mind, so you can enjoy some calming crochet. The technique is based on two stitches only and it’s simple enough for beginners to easily accomplish!

The Yarn
For the Aditya Blanket, I picked the super comfy Pound of Love by Lion Brand Yarn. This worsted weight, premium quality yarn not only gives fantastic stitch definition, but also guarantees a warm and snuggly feel. Plus, Pound of Love yarn comes in a beautiful range of colors, so you can make your blanket truly unique. I used the color Claret so that it would suit my home décor.

No More Curling
We all know that curling can be quite the nuisance in Tunisian crochet blanket patterns, but don’t worry, the Aditya Blanket pattern has got you covered!
By incorporating non-curling Tunisian crochet stitches, like the Tunisian Reverse stitch, we can create a neat border that effectively keeps curling at bay. And you know what’s even better? The border is worked directly into the blanket as you crochet, so there’s no need to add it afterward!

Aditya Blanket Pattern
Scroll down for the free pattern.
The Aditya Blanket truly showcases a simple mix of only two Tunisian crochet stitches, however, it creates a lovely, textured look!
Just like with the Roshan Blanket, this beginner Tunisian crochet blanket pattern focuses on using a single color, allowing the stitches to work their magic. This approach means you can genuinely immerse yourself in the soothing rhythm of Tunisian crochet, without stressing over different colors of yarn changes, or complicated instructions.

Experience Level
Easy – This blanket pattern expects basic knowledge of starting and ending a Tunisian crochet project and how to make Tunisian Knit and Reverse Stitches.
Gauge
14 rows of 12 stitches in the stitch pattern make a 4 inch square (blocked).
Gauge is not important in this pattern, you can use any yarn you like with an appropriate hook and the pattern will not change.
However, keep in mind that the size of your blanket will vary depending on your style of crocheting and tension.

This crochet pattern is written for a 34” x 48” (86 cm x 120 cm) blanket but it is easily adjustable.
To adjust height: Add / remove rows in multiples of 5
To adjust width: Add / remove stitches as needed
You could make an afghan, lap rug, baby blanket or throw with this sure to be popular, beginner Tunisian crochet blanket pattern! All you need to do is change up the size.

Abbreviations

- ls – Last Stitch – Pick up the two vertical bars of the last stitch of the previous row, yarn over, pull through both the vertical bars into a loop on the hook.
- tks – – Tunisian Knit Stitch – Insert hook in the space between the two vertical bars of the next stitch, pull through into a loop on the hook.

Pattern Notes
- This beginner Tunisian crochet blanket pattern is written in US terms.
- This project is worked flat and does NOT require a double ended hook.
- Refer to the Sizing section to adjust the size of your blanket.
- The instructions below are only for the forward pass. The return pass for every row is the same:
- ch1, (yo, pull through two loops)* until one loop remains on the hook.
Instructions
FR: Chain 102.
This is the foundation row, make the stitches in the back loops of the chain.
Rows 1 – 7: fs, 100 trs, ls.
Rows 8-11: fs, 100 tks, ls.
Row 12: Repeat Row 1.
Rows 13 – 167: Repeat rows 8 – 12.
Rows 168 – 172: Repeat Row 1.
BOR: Repeat Row 1.
You will make a slip stitch every time you pick up a loop on your hook. Fasten off and weave in ends.
Blocking
I highly recommend blocking your blanket before use, as this project combines two different stitches.
For acrylic yarn, I’ve found that steam blocking works best, so I stretched out my beautiful blanket, pinned it to a blocking board, and then proceeded with steam blocking.
