Lion Brand Crochet Hook - Size N-13 (9 mm)

Lion Brand Split Ring Stitch Markers

Lion Brand Large-Eye Blunt Needles (Set of 6)

GAUGE:

12 sts + 10 rows = about 4 in. (10 cm) in Tunisian Crochet;

One Block = about 3 in. (7.5 cm) measured diagonally.

BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be thesize specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you

fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if

more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

1. Throw is worked in Tunisian Crochet Entrelac.

2. A regular crochet hook is used instead of a Tunisian hook, since only a small number of sts are held

on the hook for each Block.

3. All rows of Tunisian Crochet are worked with the RS facing at all times. Do not turn the work.

4. Each row of Tunisian Crochet is worked in two passes; a Forward Pass and a Return Pass. Loops are

picked up and placed on the hook on the Forward Pass, then worked off on the Return Pass. Do not

draw up a loop in the first vertical bar of a Forward Pass. The loop remaining on the hook after a

Return Pass counts as the first loop of the next row.

5. Each Entrelac Row consists of Blocks of Tunisian Crochet. Each Block is made by working rows of

Tunisian Crochet over a small section of sts of the previous row. Row 6 of each Block is not worked in

Tunisian Crochet, but is worked in a single pass of sl sts only. The yarn is fastened off at the end of

each Entrelac Row and the next color is joined to the beg of the row for the next Entrelac Row.

6. The odd-numbered Entrelac Rows are made of 19 Blocks and the even-numbered rows are made of

20 Blocks.

COLOR SEQUENCE

Each Entrelac Row is worked with one color. Work color sequence as follows: one row each with A, B, C, D, E, F, G,

and H. Rep this color sequence for the length of Throw.
