Instructions
Please note that this pattern has been originally written by Brenda Bourg for Red Heart Yarns. Due to my relationship with Red Heart Yarns, the pattern below is slightly altering Brenda's stitch counts and used a different yarn to acheive larger squares and unique appearance. This is not considered a brand new pattern by Mikey. This version has been written for those who would like to acheive her afghan in a different look and square size. In the rules of pattern creation, this change I have made isn't enough to justify this pattern to be unique, nor am I accepting credit for creating this design. You can thank Brenda Bourg for this design.
Materials Required
- Size 6.5 mm or Size K Tunisian Crochet Hook.
- For the Quilt Look, James C Brett, Colour used is Jewel Tones.
- Darn Needle to hide ends.
Pattern written below is as seen on Trip Around The World Afghan with slight changes to the stich count to acheive the 3" x 3" Square.
Pattern Notes
- Throw is worked from the center outwards. A center square is worked first. A round of squares is worked around the center square. Then another round of squares is worked around the previous round, and so on.
- Each square is worked in Tunisian Crochet. In Tunisian Crochet each row is worked in two steps. In the first step (forward pass), loops are picked up and placed on the hook. In the second step (return pass), the loops are worked off the hook. The work is never turned. The right side is always facing you.
- The video tutorial below easily explains the concept if you are confused.
Centre Square

- Row 1 (right side): Forward pass: Insert hook in 2nd ch from hook and draw up a loop, *keeping loops on hook, insert hook in next ch and draw up a loop; repeat from * across (12 loops on hook). Return pass: Yarn over and draw through 1 loop on hook, **yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook; repeat from * until only 1 loop remains on hook.
- Rows 2–10: Forward pass: Skip first vertical bar (at beginning edge of previous row, [insert hook under next vertical bar, yarn over and draw up a loop] 11 times (12 loops on hook). Return pass: Work same as Row 1 return pass.
