Nikki McGonigal has shared an adorable Tunisian Crochet Baby Blanket with us. It’s an Entrelac Style design making it a beauty. As Nikki states, it’s not the easiest to knit which is why she chose the Tunisian stitch instead. With using the Tunisian crochet stitch it allows you to work up this pattern quickly. Mind you, Nikki gives some great advice on watching your tension so you don’t end up with a disproportionate blanket. This is a great baby shower gift you can make for that expectant mom.
If you don’t already know how to do the Tunisian crochet stitch then this quick tutorial might help you out. We also have plenty of other crochet patterns that use this fabulous stitch.

Oh my goodness!
Thank you so much for sharing my pattern!
I’m so, so flattered!
Thank you again!
Of course! Thank you for helping us out!
I hadn’t heard it called Tunisian crochet, but afghan stitch. Many years ago I made an afghan stitched baby blanket and cross-stitched a zoo animal scene on it, I found the pattern in a library book when I lived in Manhattan, KS. Do you know I haven’t seen the book in any other library and in all the moving I did–the blanket got LOST!!! I know, how sad…I’d still like to find the pattern again and remake it. Just a pipe dream, I suppose…I really enjoy Tunisian projects…Thanks.
Thanks for the pattern! It’s a great one.
Love this pattern. Have family and friends having babies and I can make this for them! Thank you.
Thirty years ago my mother made a Tunisian baby afghan with cross stitched
zoo animals for my daughter. We are not able to locate the pattern. We would appreciate your help.
Thank you,

I definitely have this pattern among all my books. As soon as I can, I’ll go through the books and find it.
… I have the zoo pattern.
The pattern is on page 136 of The Great Afghan Book by the American School of Needlework published by Columbia House in 1981. There are copies for sale at various sites on the web. …one was at E-bay for $9. It is hard cover. What luck. The pattern was in the second book I looked in… and I have hundreds of crochet books.
Please excuse my multiple posts. I should have waited until I looked more first. (Perhaps the moderator can condense my posts into one.) This is a link to a site that shows a small picture of the zoo afghan. Scroll down about half way, .It’s called “Bedtime Tales.” http://www.interlockingcrochet.com/crochet-blog/entry/decorate-your-single-or-afghan-crocheted-item-with-the-cross-stitch.html
