ABCDesigns is a new collaboration between Amy Depew and Beth Graham, http://www.ravelry.com/people/zagraham. Our goal is to “translate” some of the most magnificent free knitting patterns into our favorite medium: Tunisian crochet. Welcome to our first offering!

This gorgeous Tunisian lace wrap is created with just two skeins of luscious Marasca yarn from Yarns of Italy. It was so wonderful to work with and has such generous yardage!

Simple, breezy Tunisian mesh top. Perfect for summer layering!

This fun little Tunisian cardigan can be modified to have a deeper V neck, more or fewer buttons, and can be made for a boy or a girl. A tapestry needle and contrasting thread or yarn give the plaid effect and provide a great way to embellish while using up scraps. Warm, functional and super cute!

Function meets beauty with this warm and feminine shawl. Create a sassy shawlette with just one skein of sock yarn, or use two skeins for a full sized shawl.

This pattern can be adapted to any yarn/hook combination, and can be made to fit any size head. Can be made longer for slouchy wearing or fold up the brim for added warmth over the ears. Add a ribbed brim or some other pizzazz. Fun way to learn the Tunisian bamboo stitch! Video tutorial link in the pattern, just in case you need some extra help.

A fun shawl pattern perfect for that single skein of sock yarn. Another example of how lacy and feminine Tunisian crochet can be!

Simple but beautiful Tunisian lace! This stole can be done in any width or length, with any yarn or hook. Elegant on its own, or add beads for a touch of glamour.

Got one skein of beautiful sock yarn, just desperate to be made into something wonderful? Look no further! This fun and simple semi-circular shawl is flattering, easy to make, and a great way to practice your Tunisian skills!

Any yarn, any hook, any size! Versatility and endless options make this a fun project. Simple 4-row repeat ensures that you really can make this any size you want, from child-size to gargantuan!

Named for my beloved grandmother, this scarf is a great way to introduce yourself to Tunisian crochet. Make it wider and you have a shawl, shorter and it is appropriate for a child, a more masculine color and guys will love it!

Using this fun technique (also shown in the Surface Braid Hat), a unique texture is created in this girl’s poncho. Can be done in one color, two or ten! And, as a bonus, the poncho is reversible! The “wrong” side has an interesting texture and color display, making it fun for the wearer!

This is a Tunisian poncho, worked in the round. You will need a double-ended hook to complete this project. The poncho is completely reversible, and designed to be a bit big on the wearer. That way they can use it for more than 3 months! ;)
