Description

Discover the beauty and versatility of Tunisian crochet with this complete how-to guide, packed with 10 gorgeous, customisable heirloom blankets for all seasons.

Fibre artist and crochet designer Anne Van Winkle (@arvcrochet) takes you stitch by stitch through her 10 stunning blanket designs, each created to help you develop your skills as you make unique, cozy items for your home.

Blending the rich texture and held stitches of knitting with the ease of crochet, Tunisian crochet will feel familiar to knitting and crochet lovers from the very first stitch. Thanks to their shape and size, and the soothing repetition of stitches, blankets make wonderful projects for any fibre fan looking to learn something new, as well as make something practical too.

Start with simple, single-colour designs and progress onto blankets with more texture, colour and character. With every project, you’ll learn new techniques, and build confidence as your blankets become more intricate – and more snuggly.

Inside, you’ll find:

A warm, welcoming introduction to the best yarns, necessary tools and essential stitches you’ll use throughout the book.
Step-by-step photos and illustrated blanket diagrams make every element feel achievable – no matter your experience.
An inspiring collection of patterns, from gingham and plaid to hexagons, faux cables, herringbone, stripes and a charming sampler blanket that brings everything together.
Friendly troubleshooting tips to help you tackle any tricky moments.
Beautiful photography that shows each blanket in full, along with inviting close-ups that highlight the texture and detail of Tunisian crochet.
Simple advice for resizing any blanket, so you can create the perfect cozy companion – whether it’s for a sofa, a bed or a special gift.

Tunisian Crochet Blankets is perfect for crafters who’ve delved into crochet and knitting before, as well as confident Tunisian crocheters looking for beautiful blankets and afghans to make, gift and cherish.

Anne Van Winkle is a Tunisian crochet pattern designer and math teacher, based in rural Nebraska, US. She started to learn regular crochet in 2016, but in 2019 discovered and fell in love with Tunisian crochet. And she's never looked back!

Anne started to design Tunisian crochet patterns in 2021, specifically shawls and blankets, which she sells through her Ravelry page. Her teaching background means Anne likes to offer a very accessible approach to Tunisian crochet, and she enjoys demystifying the craft to support beginning and intermediate Tunisian crocheters. Anne loves using simple stitches and smart techniques to create one-of-a-kind masterpieces that make cozy accessories in anyone's life and home.

Since becoming a designer, Anne has published patterns in WeCrochet magazine and with the yarn supplier Sewrella. She regularly partners with independent hand-dyed yarn companies, particularly Hue Loco and Arcane Fibre Works, and suppliers such as KnitPro. Anne has a doting following on Instagram, due to her gorgeous color palette, and has amassed over 45,000 followers over just 3 years.

When she's not making patterns or teaching, Anne is known for her watching a good TV show with her husband and children, and getting a few stitches in every night.
