Square #8 – Tunisian Double Seed Square by KnotBadBritt

Square 8 of the Tunisian Crochet Blanket CAL of 2022 is designed by Brittany from KnotBadBritt.

This square features Tunisian Knit and Purl stitches that create a beautiful pattern.

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

Square #2 of the Tunisian Crochet Blanket CAL of 2022 hosted by KnitterKnotter. This is the designer's original square that is made with two colors - blue and white. The white section forms the frame and the blue/white honeycomb section forms the picture section.

Here is my square – I made it with 5 colors of the Preciosa Tonal Worsted yarn by KnitPicks.

My Notes

This square is worked flat and features Tunisian Knit and Purl stitches. Here are my notes from when I was working on my square:

  1. This is an easy pattern, a good break from the complex blocks that we’ve been working on. You still need to keep an eye on your rows to make sure that you start with the right stitch.
  2. I changed color after every 2 stitches, added a new color after 6 rows
  3. My square leans a little bit towards the right (I am right handed). I was able to fix it by blocking.
  4. Brittany writes her Foundation Row instructions differently than mine. She says chain 39 for the Foundation chain and she starts picking up stitches from the first chain from the hook – which makes a total of 40 stitches in the Foundation row. You could do it her way or start with chain 40. Both would be correct.
  5. The instructions indicate a 3 row repeat. But, I made mine by repeating rows 1 – 4.
  6. My square:
    1. # of stitches = 40
    2. # of rows = 33
    3. Border – I made:
      • One round of sc (single crochet) stitches (3 sc stitches in the corners). I aim to get equal number of stitches on all edges so I accommodated for that in this round.
      • One round of hdc (half double crochet) stitches in back loop only – one hdc per stitch and 3 hdc stitches in the corners.

Pattern repeats and Adjustments

Height – Add / remove rows as needed to adjust height. Stop after a repeat of Row 2 or 4.

Width – Add / remove stitches as needed to adjust width. follow the pattern of alternating knit and purl stitches.

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.
