The Tunisian crochet Garden Trellis Square is my new 8″ afghan block for my square sampler blanket, which is one of my oldest wips (works in progress).
One day, I am sure that I’ll start seaming and make a nice blanket out of all the squares I’ve been piling up over the last 2 years.
In the meantime, I enjoy the fun and try to come up with new patterns to add to the collection.
Even though this new Tunisian crochet square might look a bit complicated, and it uses lace stitches (who’s afraid of Tunisian lace patterns?!), it is actually very easy and fun to crochet.
The stitch used for this square is the Tunisian Trellis Lace Stitch, and I prepared a detailed photo tutorial here. I also made a video tutorial, which you can find on my YouTube channel here.
Alright, let’s get started!
