My Crochet Pattern Notes
This Tunisian crochet pattern is made up of a 2-row repeat. I don’t really remember seeing this particular combination of stitches so I’ve made a step-by-step photo tutorial. It’s a little different than expected, but not difficult.

Yarn
JoAnn “Big Twist Value” yarn, size 4 weight, 100% acrylic, 380 yds/347m per 6 oz skein: 1 skein of color Olive Drab.
The yarn I’ved used in this pattern is Big Twist Value and I purchased it from JoAnn. When JoAnn closed, Michaels purchased the intellectual property. You can now purchase Big Twist Value at Michaels directly. I believe it’s the same weight and yardage.
Other Materials
Suggested Crochet Hook Size L-11 [8mm], or size needed to meet gauge. You don’t need a Tunisian crochet hook, if you don’t have one, since this project is so small. Place a rubber band on the end of your hook to keep the loops from slipping off.
Yarn Needle for weaving ends.
Gauge
Worked in stitch pattern, about 14 stitches for 10 rows measures approximately 4″ x 4″.
Stitch Multiple
If you would like to change the width of this project, you’ll need any multiple of 2.
I took a photo of this project while in progress and there was no curling at all. It’s always fun when you come up with a stitch pattern in Tunisian crochet that doesn’t curl.
Special Stitches
Tunisian Simple Stitch (tss): Insert hook from side to side (right to left for right-handers or left to right for left-handers) under the front vertical bar, yarn over, pull loop through. Right-Handed Video | Left-Handed Video.
Tunisian Purl Stitch (tps): With yarn in front, insert hook from side to side (right to left for right-handers or left to right for left-handers) under the front vertical bar, yarn over, pull loop through. You’re using the same vertical bar, but the stitch will have a little horizontal wrap around it. Right-Handed Video | Left-Handed Video.
Last Stitch of a Row: The last stitch of each row is worked into the outer 2 vertical bars. It’s basically a knit stitch with an extra loop. You don’t want to work under only one vertical bar since it will cause the loop to stretch too much. Working under both loops makes a nice, clean, sturdy edge. Right-Handed Video | Left-Handed Video.
Tunisian Purl Stitch 2 Together (tps2tog): Worked under 2 front vertical bars [img 1]. With yarn in front, insert hook under 2 front vertical bars at the same time [img 2] as for Tunisian Purl Stitch, yarn over, pull loop through [img 3]. This works 2 stitches together.
Once the decrease is made with the Tunisian Purl Stitch 2 Together, a Tunisian Simple Stitch is made in the same second front vertical bar. You lift up slightly on your hook which will expose the used second vertical bar [img 4]. It takes a little bit to get accustomed to it. Insert hook under that vertical bar to create a Tunisian Simple Stitch.

Free Crochet Pattern Instructions
Row 1
A: With Tunisian crochet hook, ch 24, sk 1 ch, *insert hook in next ch, yo, pull lp through, leave lp on hook, rep from * across: 24 lps on hook. Note: My preference is always to work in the back horizontal bar of the chain. Use the method you prefer.
B: Ch 1, [yo, pull through 2 lps on hook] across. 1 lp remains on hook which counts for the first st of the next row, here and throughout.
Row 2
Note: Review Special Stitches above before continuing.
A: Sk first front vertical bar, *[tps2tog, tss in second front vertical bar of st just worked] to last st, work last stitch (see Special Stitches above): 24 lps on hook.
B: Ch 1, [yo, pull through 2 lps on hook] across.
Row 3
A: Sk first front vertical bar, tps to last st, work last stitch: 24 lps on hook.
B: Ch 1, [yo, pull through 2 lps on hook] across.
Rows 4-155: Rep rows 2-3.
Row 156: Rep row 2. Do not fasten off.
Binding Off
Note: This is a slip stitch bind off. Work the slip stitches loosely. If it’s more comfortable, you can use a regular hook for binding off in Tunisian crochet.
Row 157: Sk first vertical bar, *insert hook under next vertical bar with yarn in front as for tps, yo, pull lp through AND pull through lp on hook (sl st made), rep from * across. Fasten off.
Finishing
With yarn needle, weave in all ends securely.
I didn’t make any kind of trim or border. There was no curling at the bottom and, sometimes, adding a trim will disturb the drape of the item so I opted out. You can add a trim, if you like. You can also add embellishments of fringe or tassels.

I hope you like this new Tunisian crochet pattern! Please let me know if you have any questions.
I’m getting ready to make this for a friend. I love the look of Tunisian crochet but avoid it because of the curling, so I’m glad to hear you say this pattern doesn’t curl.
I do try to create stitch patterns that don’t curl. It’s always the goal. I hope you enjoy it!
