Square #24 – Savanna Square designed by Morine’s Shop

Square 24 of the Tunisian Crochet Blanket CAL of 2022 is designed by Morine from Morine’s Shop.

Morine took inspiration from the Savanna plains and created this beautiful 3D effect with Tunisian Simple, Front Post Double Crochet and Bobble stitches.

Here is the designer’s version of the square. She made it with one solid color.

Here is my square – I made it with 3 colors of the Preciosa Tonal Worsted yarn by KnitPicks.

My Notes

This square is worked flat and features Tunisian Simple and Front Post Double Crochet stitches. Here are my notes from when I was working on my square:

1. This is an easy pattern but it needs your complete attention.
2. Since this pattern is not written to be made with multiple colors, I had to get a little creative and make some Front Post Double Crochet stitches in the previous row instead of 2 rows below since I was using a different color for the tree.
3. I carried unused yarn in the back.
4. I stopped at row 29 because my square was getting too tall.
5. I gave my square a thing border by making one round of single crochet stitches.

Pattern repeats and Adjustments

Increasing width or height of this block is fairly straightforward, you can add stitches and rows as needed.

Decreasing width or height of this block is not easy, you’d have to compromise on the pattern like I had to. I recommend trying to go down a hook size and see if that helps.

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.
