Knitter Knotter Tunisian Blanket CAL 2022
Blankets can be such an investment but they make you so proud in the end. What I love about blankets that are created with squares is you can break them down and make them just a little bit at a time.
Arunima of Knitter Knotter is back again with a amazing year long Tunisian Crochet-A-Long. I have watched this project from a far and was an honor to be asked to create a square for this year.
I chose, to create a square using a simple but lesser known stitch called the Double Seed Stitch. It alternates using Tunisian Purl and Tunisian Knit Stitch to create a lovely textured square that can be dressed up however you like it. My version was a single color but Knitter Knotter made the lovely square pictured here and you can really see how just adding color changes effects the look.
Knitter Knotter operates this as a Mystery CAL which means each square is released every other Wednesday and is a complete surprise. The patterns in this CAL will also be available for purchase as a bundle. If you decide to purchase the bundle, you will receive the PDF version of all the squares as they are released (you pay less than a dollar per pattern!). This is a mystery CAL so, if you purchase the bundle, you will NOT receive all the patterns at once. You will receive a new pattern every 2 weeks as the squares are released in the CAL.
I’d love to see your square! Please share them on your social media with the tags @knotbadbritt, @knitterknotter, #knitterknottertunisianblanketcal2022, and #knitterknotter so that I can share them.
