The Tunisian crochet is also called Afgan crochet and some people consider it as crocheting and knitting both mixed. Special kind of crochet hook is used here – with elongated “tail”. It’s not so difficult to make it once you catch the motif. It looks really well on big crochet blankets.
If you make it with a thicker yarn it looks softer and more cozy. If you decide using thinner one, it will look more casual so that you can use more colors. These crochet blankets are absolutely amazing! Take a look at examples below and search for links to free and paid patterns under the pictures.
