Tunisian Crochet - Simple Stitch
I always have several knitting and crochet projects on the go at any one time.
Just for a change I decided to make a little a little blanket in Tunisian crochet.
This stitch curls at the top and bottom edges - so I added a crochet border -
and finished the project off with a pretty ribbon bow.
