	Chain Mail Scarf Colinette Tao and Colinette Parisienne
Tunisian purl stitch is formal and structural on the front. The curly back is equally attractive. Silk yarn worked together with very fine mohair in the same colourway creates warmth and depth without bulk.

	Wild and Woolly Wrap Colinette One Zero
This cozy quadrilateral is made from exuberand thick-and-thin yarn worked in Tunisian simple stitch. Chunky tassels make a fun flourish.

	Honeycomb Skirt Colinette Banyan
Tunisian honeycomb stitches show off this multicolor yarn. The skirt has a dense weave – no lining required – yet is lightweight and comfortable to wear.

	Shimmer Shawl Blue Heron Yarns rayon/metallic
Saturated colors of peacock, bronze, lilac, olive, and raspberry sparkle with gold flecks in this dimensional yarn. The pattern alternates Tunisian crochet stitches with a denser stitch pattern for visual interest and to keep the garment lightweight.

	Ivory Shell Lion Brand Organic Cotton
Organic cotton yarn worked in a staggered X-stitch pattern gives this shell the color and texture of sculpted ivory. The crossed stitches create a dimensionality that catches light and shadow beautifully. A leather tie adds definition to the waist.

	Ladders and Lattice Duster Lion Brand Cotton Ease
This comfortably loose-fitting cardigan ends mid-thigh for a flattering silhouette. The linear regularity of the stitch pattern on the body makes the perfect counterpoint to the opennwork sleeves.

	Felted Clutch Lion Wool Prints and Lion Wool Solids
Tunisian simple stitch looks especially nice when felted because the texture remains visible after the fabric shrinks. The dense fabric created by felting means there is no need for a lining.

	Warmhearted Vest Colinette Cadenza
The traditional shape of this man’s vest makes it an ideal layering piece. Tunisian knit stitches show off the tweedy colors in a comfortable, slightly stretch fabric.

	Hug-a-licious Jumper Plymouth Yarn Dreambaby D.K.
Tunisian knit stitch looks exactly like the stockinette stitch made by knitting. This item is destined to become a year-round favorite of the lucky little girl you make it for!

	Big Sister Sweater Plymouth Yarn Dreambaby D.K.
Yarn that’s as soft as can be is used to make this raglan sleeve sweater. The Tunisian net stitch creates a beautiful woven look that no other knit or crochet stitches can achieve.

	Toben’s Pillow Tahki Yarns Shannon
Worked in Tunisian simple stitch, the horizontal and vertical lines in this pillow cross to highlight the richly layered color. Reverse single crochet makes a tailored, corded edge.

	Sweet Dreams Baby Blanket Plymouth Yarn Dreambaby D.K.
Made with cuddly-soft, machine-washable yarn, this blanket is as practical as it is beautiful. The pattern combines crossed stitches with Tunisian knit stitches for texture and visual interest.

	Frosted Stitch Afghan Plymouth Yarn Royal Llama Silk
This lightweight yet warm yarn lends itself to the Tunisian frosted stitch pattern, in which clusters like little evergreen trees alternate with formal straight-up-and-down architectural stitches.

	Have It Both Ways Pillow Plymouth Yarn Royal Llama Silk
This pillow is worked in different stitch patterns. One side is a casual basketweave of Tunisian knit and purl; the other features a more formal arrangement of the same stitches, known as the plough and cable stitch.

	Foam Follows Function Ottoman Cover Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick
Dress up an inexpensive cube with supersize Tunisian purl stitches worked with three strands of super bulky yarn held together.

	Mardi Gras Placemats Lion Cotton
Let the good times roll with this quartet of festive placemats. Stripes and color changes show off some bold patterns that you can create with Tunisian stitches.
