Crochet Modern Moss Stitch Blanket
For this new version I used Caron One Pound yarn which is great for beginners as it is easier to keep the tension more even and to undo it if you go wrong. I love using moss stitch with this thread because the seams aren’t too punched but the seams still keep the thread loose and give the blanket a really nice cover.

Daydream Simple Striped Tunisian Crochet Blanket Pattern
This Daydream blanket is a striped Tunisian crochet blanket with an easier color change than its cousin Sunset Stripes Blanket. This makes it a great starter crochet project for anyone new to Tunisian crochet. The blanket uses Tunesian Simple Stitch from head to toe. This stitch is one of the loosest stitches in Tunisian crochet stitches, but you still need to go up a few sizes in your hook to make sure the stitches don’t come out too tight. You want the Tunisian crochet blanket to be nicely covered while you experience that soft, comfortable feeling.
