Welcome to square 3 of the Tunisian Blanket CAL of 2021! This is my first CAL where I am collaborating with other designers. I am going to make my blanket / afghan with everyone and hope to learn some new Tunisian crochet stitches and techniques along the way 🙂

If you are new to Tunisian crochet, I hosted a CAL in 2020 that was designed to teach Tunisian crochet to beginners. If this one seems advanced, you are welcome to check that out and practice a few basic stitches before you come back to this one. Click here to view the beginner CAL of 2020.

Square #3 – Offset T Square – designed by Abbeymade
Square #3 is a mosaic crochet square designed by Abbeymade. It is a very clever repeat pattern that makes a bunch of offset T’s. She uses a combination of Tunisian Simple Stitches and Tunisian Double Crochet stitches to make this pattern.

Here is my square – I made it with 3 colors of the Wool of the Andes Superwash yarn by KnitPicks.

My Notes
Here are some things I noted while working on the square:
- This square requires your full attention when working on it, it is definitely not the type of crochet you can do while watching Netflix!
- When a double crochet follows a yarn over, do not forget to yarn over a second time for the double crochet.
- This pattern is another great example to help you learn to read a crochet chart.
Adjustments
- Width
- Increase width – If you would like to extend the pattern, it is fairly straightforward to do so. Just follow the stitch pattern – it is easiest to use the chart to do this. If not, you could add an equal number of simple stitches on both sides.
- Decrease width – remove equal number of stitches from both sides. The pattern explains how to do this.
- Height
- The pattern includes instructions for modifying height

What I did
I used three colors of the Wool of the Andes Superwash yarn in White, Brass Heather and Cobblestone Heather as follows:
Row 1: Brass Heather
Row 2: Coblestone Heather
Row 3: Brass Heather
Row 4: White
Repeat colors from rows 1 to 4.
I used a 8 mm Tunisian crochet hook to make this square.
I used the stitch markers from Walnut Farm Design to keep track of my stitches and I wet blocked my square by soaking it in warm water and pinning it to my blocking mat until dry.
Yardage and Size
My square is 12″ x 12″ in size (along the edges) and used about 115 yards (105 m) of yarn and weighs 1.83 oz (52 gms).

The pattern
This pattern is available as a free PDF download from Ribblr and Ravelry. If you haven’t already tried it, Ribblr has some great features including interactive charts and pattern documents where you can mark and store your progress that you can access the next time you log in.

Important notes
The copyright for each pattern is held by the designer. You may ask for additional resources and tutorials from the designer of the square only. No one else can make a full tutorial of the pattern unless permitted by the designer. I have included my notes and links to my tutorials that I think might be helpful in making the square but those do not supersede the instructions and tutorials provided by the designer.
