Want a fun, begginer-friendly project that makes a statement? Then I suggest you try the Tunisian Two-Tone Scarf! The unique patterning of the Tunisian two-tone stitch allows you to get the drama of an all over pattern without a zillion ends to weave in- a winning combination!
What You'll Need:
2 skeins of contrasting chunky weight yarn (I used Big Twist Hush in Mustard and Taupe, 219 yds per skein)
Size M/13 9.00 Tunisian Crochet Hook
Scissors
Let's get started!
For my sample, I started with the taupe as my Color A and chained 30 sts. You can adjust the width of your scarf to your preferences and yarn, there is no required base number of stitches that the Tunisian two-tone pattern.
After I chained 30 sts, I pulled up a loop in the back bump of each of the chs across to the end of my work, then yarned over, pulled through the first loop, and yarned over to pull through 2 loops the rest of the way down my work. This completed a standard first Tunisian simple stitch row, where we picked up loops moving from right to left (for a right-handed crocheter), and then closed the loops with the return pass.
For the next row, and to start the two-tone effect, I inserted my hook into the veritcal bars of the sts and pulled up a loop along each of my sts across my work until I reached the last st. I then inserted my hook through both vertical loops of last st to pull up the final loop. Now, here's the fun part- instead of completeing the return pass of your work in Color A (like we did for the first row), you are now going to switch to Color B. You will complete the return pass in Color B, then for the next row you will pick up the loops with Color B and complete the return pass with Color A. How cool is that! You will continue in this pattern for as long as you want the length of your scarf to be. I completed 115 rows total for my scarf, beginning and ending with a row of taupe (Color A).
To finish your scarf, you will want to complete a slip st bind off- this is done simply by yarning over then pulling the loop through both the verical bar and loop are your hook as you work your way across your scarf. Then cut, tie off, and weave in any ends!
