I'm thrilled to introduce my new Tunisian crochet design that will tempt you into “just two more rows” until you're finished with a feeling of coming home. solaceinstitches.com/b/twoofusshawl #TunisianCrochet #NewPattern #InclusiveYarnCommunity #SolaceInStitches #TwoOfUsShawl

Marieke, a white woman, wearing a striped shawl wrapped around her neck and folded with both ends over each other on her chest. The shawl is Tunisian crocheted in a rainbow self-striping yarn and a lavender yarn which alternate each row.

(1/) The #UnfreeMAL is over, and was so successful! On the knit pattern side, 48 people bought the pattern for a total of $317 in sales. I had planned to donate the proceeds, about $270, but decided to make my own contribution adding back in the money lost to transaction fees. #craftivism #knit 🧶

A plot of sales of the Unfree Shawl from March 1 to April 5. There were 48 sales, totalling $317.

I’m making the Creatief Kerchief by @solace-in-stitches.bsky.social from this Spring’s issue of Knitty. My favorite short hook Tunisian tip is to use a foam stitch stopper at the end of the hook. Stays put better than a hair elastic, and it looks tidier. @knitty.com #TunisianCrochet 🧶

Dark purple and muted yellowish green striped Tunisian crochet piece, which is a narrow elongated wedge shape, with stitches on a red wooden crochet hook with a lime-green foam stitch stopper on the end. This piece is sitting on a black-and-white woven diamond pattern placemat.

Creatief (pron. kree-A-tief) means "to create" in Dutch. The Creatief Kerchief invites you to make your own Tunisian crochet piece, play ith yarn colors and make it your own. Once done, get creative with all the ways to style it! Which way would you wear it? Free in @knitty.com #TunisianCrochet 🧶

First rows on my shawl for the #UnfreeMAL by @stitch-theory.bsky.social made. I mostly avoid cables in my projects, but these are so gorgeous to the eye I couldn't resist. Tip from an #InclusiveYarnCommunity member was to use stitch markers for cables and they are making cables fun. 🧶💜 #knitsky

When I started Knitty in 2002, advertising supported most free content. That waned in 2008 with the economic crash. Now things are different. In 2025, if you want the content you enjoy on the web to continue, supporting it directly is how you make that happen. 🥰 patreon.com/knitty #supportKnitty 🧶

🔥 Hot Right Now 🔥 Never in my wildest dreams did I think Creatief Kerchief, my newest Tunisian crochet design, would be a hit on Ravelry. Since last Tuesday, this little scarf has seen a lot of love. It's been in the top 5 of Hot Right Now crochet patterns. #TunisianCrochet #KnittyMag 🧶
