The Tunisian Timeless Blanket is crocheted in panels so there's not a lot on the afghan hook. Anita, our team member who adores Tunisian is recommending a 7 mm afghan hook instead of a 4.5 mm hook. It will go faster for you to make this and she feels the stitch definition is still really good. You can still use the hook size in the pattern.
This is a true stitch sampler at its finest. There are stitches like Long Double Crochet, Beginning Joining Stitch, Joint Stitch, Clusters and Beginning Cluster Stitches.
Speaking honestly. I don't really understand this pattern fully but our team member, Anita, would be able to pick this is up easily.
I think it could be the amazing colour of this blanket that is throwing me off but I am intrigued, nevertheless.

Timeless Tunisian Worksheets
At the top of this article is the link for the Timeless Tunisian Worksheets. They are together as a four free pattern download which includes all the notes below. Included with the worksheets is the adjustment Anita did for the baby side version that is 32" x 32" square.
Anita figured out the stitch counts to easily review the list instead of counting the boxes on her own. This will be covered in the tutorial if you need more assistance.
You will see Mikey will be completing a sampler, Anita did the baby size and the full size has a significant amount of repeats. Because we had you change the hook to 7mm, your afghan will grow taller faster, so you may not need to do all 12 repeats thus cutting your time down.

Wendy Hays says
Is the final video out yet or am I just missing it? I’ve looked for announcements and can’t find anything. I did one round of the border and just want to be sure it’s done correctly before moving on to the other rounds.
Mikey says
I haven't finished it yet. I'm sorry Wendy. I am fighting off depression and losing. I feel like such a failure in life. I need to snap out of it and put my own needs aside and continue to smile. I'm really sorry.
R Mauras says
Mikey,
You are a wonderful soul, teaching all of us so gently, giving us all a smile after watching your stitch alongs.
Please find yourself on the other side of depression knowing that you are loved by many. I hope you get well soon, depression sucks…

Love the look of this blanket. Just got my yarn today. I will be traveling in June and I hope to take it on the plane since I can just do one panel at a time. I am actually enjoying this stitch but thinking of going up still on the hook size. It always seems little softer. Thank you for the pattern and tutorial! You are so good at it!❤️
Elaine says
I was excited to see this CAL! It reminds me of the Pine Tree Afghan I've been trying to make, but became took sinuses to make those picots. I'll be watching the hints and vids. Thank you!

I'd like to make the baby size blanket. Can we have an estimate of the number of skeins used for the baby blanket version?
Mikey says
Ill see if Anita has figured that out. She may have to weigh the blanket but maybe not get an accurate ball count.
Mikey says
The entire weight of the blanket is 530 grams. We don't have a colour breakdown.
Ruth Ann Fisher says
Mikey
I am doing picots, then going forward, I dropped a stitch. It looks like a straight line on back, Help.
Mikey says
i don't understand the concern. I'm sorry. I cannot visualize what you are asking.
Suki says
How much yarn (by weight, if possible) does the baby blanket need?
Mikey says
Ill see if Anita can weigh her blanket and see how many oz it is.
Mikey says
The entire weight of the blanket is 530 grams. We don't have a colour breakdown.
Deb Howard says
Thank you Mikey and Anita! I am so looking forward to this SAL.
Susan Carter says
I've done a few projects with the simple stitch, one was 2 sided. I am excited to learn more. Mikey Thank you.

Dear Mikey: I have learned so much from you. Please, did the Tunisian Blanket Stitch Along start today? I kept switching from the Youtube site, the Facebook site and to this site. I was there from 1.45pm EST. How did I miss it? I was so grateful that you were doing this since I've always wanted to learn Tunisian crochet. Please, where can I find the tutorials? What am I missing?
thank you and best
kumi
Wendy Maruna says
The videos will also be available on our YouTube channel
kumi says
Thanks for doing the video for Timeless Tunisian Blanket Stitch Along. Please when will it start? Where will you have the videos?
thanks
Wendy Maruna says
The videos will be embedded in the article. You just need to scroll down for them. The warm up / practice videos were released on Saturday. The week one video is not out yet and doesn’t have a date for release yet Since many are new for the Tunisian skill, the practice videos will be a great way to get used to the technique and hooks
Sheila says
Now this is exciting! I saw this pattern months ago and have wanted to make it ever since. I can hardly wait to get started!!
And a big thank-you, Mikey, for all the hard work that you’ve put into this site and your wonderful tutorials.
Mary-Ann says
It seems like the Tunisian panels are pretty simple. Following the chart for the correct placement of the chain 3's to make the diamond designs will be the most challenging part for them. All the other special stitches are part of the panel border which is done in regular crochet.
Yvonne says
I LOVE Tunisian!!!! I have a list and told myself no more patterns, and look at you - making me join a CAL! lol Excited to start.
Sandy says
So excited for this! I'll be here when you're ready, Mikey. No rush. I so appreciate what you and the other designers do for us.
Cindy says
I have been wanting to learn Tunisian but haven't yet. What level would you classify this pattern?
Mikey says
Intermediate but I am teaching it as beginner level
Judy says
I am trying to learn tunisian crochet by making wash clothes and each a different pattern. I think I'm getting the hang of it, this will really put me to the test. Love the pattern
Norma Coder says
When does this one start?
Mikey says
I'm not sure. I have to reschedule existing content to move it out of the way for this. Delay queued up YouTube Tutorials other projects. I don' know yet.
