A dense absorbent and fairly smooth textured cloth which is really relaxing to make. It makes a great mat too and can be made any size by adding however many stitches or rows you want!

Enhance its woven looking stitch with a pair of bold contrast colours to brighten up your home décor, perhaps matching the season or occasion or use similar shades for a subtle almost tweedy effect.

Switching colours in the middle of each row, between the forward and return pass, is the key to this cloth’s interesting look and newcomers to Tunisian crochet may find this makes learning the technique even simpler, as it makes it easier to see the structure of the stitches and understand where to put your hook.

Enjoy making your cloth!
