Guess what?? Today is the day that the very first guest blogger is here on the E’Claire Makery blog, Stephanie from By Stephanie Erin. One of my goals with my business is to use my blog to help promote other designers, and I’m super excited that I get to start sharing the posts of the awesome designers that will be sharing their patterns. I met Stephanie on Instagram, and she is such a sweet and talented designer! Her chic and beautiful style is so great, and she is definitely a designer that you don’t want to miss. So let’s get to her pattern!

Hi All! I’m Stephanie the crochet designer, maker and person behind By Stephanie Erin. I am so excited to be sharing the Love Me like XO Tunisian Crochet pattern with you today just in time for Valentines Day! I started crocheting about 4 years ago, when I was going through a tough time in my life. I was initially drawn to the cuteness of amigurumi and my first ever project was actually a little elephant! I was hooked! I then started making wearables and found my true passion lies there. I started designing in the fall of 2018 and now I can’t stop! I have a notebook filled with ideas and I just need to figure out a way to stop sleeping so I can make it all. I taught myself Tunisian crochet in the fall of 2018 as well and am just as enamored with it. When I’m not playing with yarn I can be found, running, reading or painting my nails. Are you ready to grab your Tunisian hook and dive into this super fun pattern?

Supplies: 

  • Yarn: 90 yds of worsted weight yarn (4) in Colour A, Scrap Yarns of Colour B and C
  • 8mm Tunisian Crochet Hook 
  • Darning Needle
  • Scissors
  • Tape Measure

My Amazon Picks

Gauge

4 inches – 12 sts by 15 rows in Tunisian Knit Stitch

Abbreviations and Stitches:

  • ch – chain
  • sts – stitches
  • Tunisian Simple Stitch 
  • Tunisian reverse simple stitch 
  • Tunisian Knit Stitch 
  • MC – Main Colour

Notes: 

  • Each “row” consists of both a forward and return Tunisian row. 
    Loop left on hook (vertical bar) at the end of a return pass will always be skipped and count as 1 st
  • When returning and you reach colour A or B pick up the corresponding colour and return with that colour until you reach the MC again. Float yarn along the back and continue on with MC. 
    This will mean you’ll be working with 3 strands of yarn, float the yarn loosely along the back when changing colours. 
  • The Tunisian Simple Stitch and Tunisian Reverse Simple Stitch work together on rows 2-3 and 17-18 to create the ribbing, this is also called the Tunisian Rib Stitch. There is a great video here, outlining how to do these stitches. 
  • The pattern includes both a child and an adult size and is written as follows child (adult)
