Free pattern for a small ornament made with Tunisian short rows

Tunisian Crochet Christmas Ornament Xmas Haekelreigen

Have you already done Tunisian short rows?

 

It is so much easier than knitting short rows. You don't have to use techniques like 'wrap & turn'.

And it's very easy to create circles like this little Christmas ornament.

 

You'll need:

- yarn

- scrap yarn in several colours for decorating

- a suitable crochet hook - a regular hook is fine, you won't need a Tunisian hook

- a yarn needle

- scissors

Abbreviations:

ch - chain

YO - yarn over

st(s) - stitch(es)

TSS - Tunisian Simple Stitch

ES - edge stitch, insert hook under both strands

 

Pattern:

Foundation row:

- ch 6

- pick up a loop in the back bump, starting with second ch from hook and each ch across (6 sts on hook)

Return pass:

- YO and pull through 1 loop on hook, *YO and pull through 2 loops on hook, repeat from * until one loop remains on the hook

Step 1: Short row

- Forward pass: 3 TSS (4 sts on hook)

- Return pass: YO and pull through 2 loops on hook, three times

Step 2: Full row

- Forward pass: 4 TSS, ES (6 sts on hook)

- Return pass: YO and pull through 1 loop on hook, *YO and pull through 2 loops on hook, repeat from * until one loop remains on the hook

When the circle is complete, cut yarn, pull out the hook and thread yarn onto yarn needle.
