Hi friends!

I’m very excited about today’s post - I’m participating in the Easy Tunisian Crochet Blog Hop hosted by Noorain of Noor’s Knits! It’s my first time doing a blog hop, and I’ve learned so much. All the patterns featured are Tunisian crochet, but you can make them with a regular crochet hook! A new pattern is released EVERY day from Monday to Friday as a FREE download available for 24 hours only. The patterns featured are perfect projects to try your hand at Tunisian crochet.

Today’s featured pattern is my Stashdown Pillow. It’s the perfect project for using up all your worsted weight scraps! It’s worked with a regular crochet hook, using the Join-As-You-Go method. It may sound complicated, but once you get the hang of it you’ll be busting that stash in no time! You can download this pattern for FREE until 11:59 pm EST tonight on Ravelry using the code that can be found on the main blog post HERE.

This pattern is a special one for many reasons. First, it’s Tunisian crochet which I am currently obsessed with. It’s becoming so popular among yarnies, and I know it is on many of your “to try” lists.

This pattern is a great way to try your hand at the “Join As You Go” method, meaning you don’t need a long cord or special hook to make a bigger project. It’s also a great stashbuster, and as you can see I’ve chosen a bunch of different yarns from my stash.

I kept it consistently random (if that makes sense!) meaning I varied the size of each colour block but spaced out all the colours so that they seem fairly evenly distributed. I’d love to see you put your own spin on this project, maybe choosing a rainbow of colours, going for a monochrome look, working solid stripes or whatever genius idea you can think of! Make sure to tag me on Instagram and use the hashtag #StashdownPillow.

pin it for later!

I’m not going to lie, Tunisian crochet tends to eat up more yarn than similar-sized regular crochet patterns. But that means you can put to use a good portion of your stash while making a beautiful and useful piece of home décor. I’m all about stashbusting lately, and if you’re taking part in #Stashdown2020 (read more about that HERE), this is an excellent pattern to have in your library.
