Hey y’all! My name is Kaylee and I’m the face behind KayleeKnots. I’m so excited to be sharing one of my patterns for this week’s edition of Little Red Knits Friday Freebies!

I started crocheting somewhere around middle school, but lost touch until I started college. Living on my own brought on lots of free time that I knew I had to do something creative with. That’s where I really started crocheting again. It brought lots of joy and took up all my free time. I was inspired to create an Etsy shop and sell my work, but I never imagined the success and great community I would stumble upon during my journey. I couldn’t be more excited to be here!

Learning Tunisian crochet was on my to-do list for the longest time. I knew it would be one of the next steps to furthering my work, and it was so much easier than I anticipated! It opened up a whole new world of creativity, and so, here we are – my first Tunisian crochet pattern I’ve designed, the Tunisian Simple Stitch Pot Holder.

Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy!

Notes:

  • This pattern can be done with any worsted weight #4 yarn, however, I recommend using 100% cotton
  • Having a loose foundation row helps minimize the curling created with many Tunisian projects
  • This pattern can be altered to preferred size by adjusting the original chain and increase/decreasing number of rows

 

Pattern for Size Medium (6” x 6”)

Hold two strands, one from each skein and make a slip knot. You will double the yarn for the entire pattern.

Foundation: ch 17, sk first ch, pull up loops in the back bumps all the way across (16), retp

Rows 1-14: tss 16 across, retp

Row 15: sl st 15 across in the same loops you would do your tss, leaving one stitch open at the end. ch 3, insert ring around chains, sl st to the last 16th st.

Cut yarn, tie off, weave in ends, and you’re done!
