Tunisian Honeycomb Blanket or Scarf: Pattern and Video Tutorial from The Crochet Crowd

# What this project is

Honeycomb stitch and applies it to two small projects: a blanket and a scarf. The stitch creates a honeycomb-like texture that reads clearly in solid yarn and produces a fabric with some lateral stretch.

# Who made it and where to find the pattern

# What the stitch and pattern require

• Stitch repeat: multiple of 2.
• Stitch structure: a 2-row repeating Tunisian pattern that resembles honeycomb cells.
• Fabric behavior: slight stretch due to the stitchwork, more pronounced in solid-colored yarns where the texture is obvious.

# Yarn, hook, and sizing notes

Cakes and requires only one ball. Recommended hook for the scarf is an 8 mm (L/11) Afghan hook, and the beginning chain is 20. The pattern notes you can change the scarf size in multiples of 2.

Substitution tip: If you prefer medium-weight yarn (#4), try a 6.5 mm (K/10.5) Afghan hook and begin with a chain of 26. You can also simply stitch until your yarn runs out when working with cake yarns.

# Learning curve and help offered

The stitch itself is not difficult, but keeping consistent row starts is the main challenge. Mikey's video tutorial walks the viewer through the 2-row repeat slowly and offers tricks to remember the correct starting point for each row. The post links both the written pattern and the video tutorial for step-by-step help.

# When to choose the scarf vs the blanket

• Maintain the stitch multiple of 2 when changing width.
• Use solid or near-solid yarn for the honeycomb pattern to register more clearly.
• If using a different yarn weight, increase hook size (example: #4 yarn with a 6.5 mm hook) and adjust the starting chain accordingly.
• Watch the video for row-start tricks to avoid common mistakes when working Tunisian rows.

# Where this fits in a crocheter's skill set

This is suitable for crocheters who know basic Tunisian techniques and want to add a textured 2-row repeat to their repertoire. The pattern and video offer enough support to learn the stitch and apply it to both a wearable scarf and a larger blanket.
