PATTERN NOTES:

My goal is always to help you be successful when making one of my patterns. So here are a few tips if you begin to experience curling on the edges…

1. Make a test swatch to see if you are crocheting tight. If so, go up one-two hook sizes.
2. Make a swatch with the called-for hook and block the swatch. If after blocking you still experience curling, refer to tip 1.

Using the TSS-Tunisian Simple Stitch with standard reverse row to find gauge:

12 sts x 20 rows =

4″ / 10cm squared

---

DESIGN NOTES & SPECIALTY STITCHES:

To help keep your edges straight I have written into the pattern to work into the previous rows ch for the very last st when working right to left rows.  This is be instead of working around the vertical bar for that st.

You can easily use a st marker around that ch to make it easy to find when you get to the end of your row.

Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS): Insert your hook into the vertical bar, Yo and draw up a loop.

Now you have completed the Tunisian simple stitch.

Standard Reverse Row (SRR): This will be worked when you have all your stitches on your Tunisian hook from the previous row.

Yo pull through one. * Yo pull through 2. Repeat from * all the way across until you have one loop remaining on your hook.
