This is a great pattern to learn Tunisian crochet. The instructions are good as well as the illustrations. I have done Tunisian crochet before but you need the hook with the attachment to hold the extra stitches. I have one and it helps. This pattern will work up quickly and it will be nice and warm. Thank you for the pattern.

I love this Tunisian Honeycomb Blanket! It is beautiful and the tunisian purl stitch is so easy to do. I like that the written pattern is right here on this page and I can print this pattern. I need to buy the large 'L" tunisian hook, I don't own one that big. I'm looking forward to doing this beautiful blanket! Thank you so much for sharing this free crochet pattern.
