My unconventional “Scraps! Sweater #1” in Tunisian crochet is worked top-down, using basic Tunisian stitches, such as the Simple and the Rib stitches. The neckline and bottom are ribbed. The greatest advantage of this project is…it is a yarn stash buster! Yes, you can use all of your remainings of yarn, in any weight, colour and quality (provided it can be worked with the hook in the given size) to obtain a beautifully, texturized pattern. So satisfying!!

This pattern is easy to follow, thanks to the many links to my video tutorials explaining stitches and techniques. It uses basic Tunisian crochet stitches (tss, tks, tps, Rib Stitch).


This pattern is in ENGLISH and uses standard US crochet terminology and abbreviations.

+++ Please NOTE that the pattern also contains a short introduction to Tunisian crochet, with pictures and terminology. NEW: link to my YouTube videos explaining the techniques +++
