Plan a Tunisian blanket from panels

Match finished panel dimensions and sample seams that accommodate the fabric’s stiffness and curl.

Before you start

Gather the measurements, counts or timing sample needed below. Record their units and whether they describe a sample, the whole project or one purchased package. Use a finished sample when dimensions or material use depend on fabric structure.

How to do it

1. Understand Tunisian passes — A basic Tunisian row includes a forward pass collecting loops and a return pass working them off. Count the edge loops as the selected stitch method specifies.
2. Manage Tunisian edges and curl — Check both edge insertions and sample curl after finishing. Hook size, stitch structure and a planned border can affect behavior, but blocking alone may not remove structural curl.
3. Match panels in different crochet stitches — Match finished dimensions rather than raw stitch counts. Each stitch pattern needs its own gauge and repeat calculation.
4. Plan and join crochet motifs into a finished project — Measure the joined repeat, plan rows and columns, arrange colour, and test a seam before assembling many motifs.

Try this example

Four panels finishing at 25 cm wide suggest a 100 cm field before seam effects. Join two sample edges, measure any added or consumed width and update the whole-panel plan.

Check your result

• Recheck the inputs against the actual sample or label, keep units consistent and round only the final count or purchase. Repeat a sample if a small measuring difference changes the decision.
• These arithmetic examples assume the measured structure stays comparable. Shaping, borders, dense textures and color changes require their own allowances or samples.
