These simple towels worked in Tunisian Crochet make up quickly and serve as great gifts! Measures 10” x 15” without the optional scalloped edged.
An easy pattern with 2 easy stitches for those who have little to no experience with Tunisian Crochet. A few rows in and you won't want to put the project down.
I'd love to see your version of this project. If you have a Ravelry account, please add your project or contact me through the contact form below and I'll reach out for photos to post here on the blog.
FOUNDATION ROW: VIDEO
Primary Color - Begin by casting on as follows: ch40, insert hook into the 2nd chain from the hook, yarn over, pull up a loop. Leave that loop on the hook. Rep this process to the end of the ch. 40 loops on the hook.
BASIC RETURN PASS (RetP) - Yarn over and draw through one loop only, (yarn over and draw through two loops.) Repeat (-) to the end. You should have one loop on the hook.
BEGIN STITCHING MAIN TOWEL
ROW 1 - Continue with Primary Color – tss to last st.
FwdP - Skip the vertical bar directly beneath the loop currently on the hook, insert the hook from right to left (assuming that you are right-handed), so the hook goes behind the next vertical bar of the foundation row (keeping the hook to the front of the work, not front-to-back).
Draw up a loop. Leave it on your hook. Repeat to the last vertical bar. Insert your hook under both vertical bars of the last stitch (it should look like a v on the outer edge of the work) and pull up a loop. 40 loops on the hook.
RetP - Yarn over and draw through one loop only, (yarn over and draw through two loops.) Repeat (-) to the end. You should have one loop on your hook.
ROW 2 - tprs to last st.
FwdP - Skip the vertical bar directly beneath the loop currently on the hook, with yarn in front, insert the hook from right to left (assuming that you are right-handed), so the hook goes behind the next back vertical bar of the row below.
