Tunisian Honeycomb Stitch - Totally Tunisian Calendar Blanket - April Square 2022

[@JaydaInStitches]

Easier than it looks! The challenge is just remembering what stitch you are on ! ETSY Shop - www.etsy.com/ca/shop/JaydaInStitches Memberships - kzbin.infojoin

I tell people who are struggling to understand a pattern to always check out your channel. You really have a way of explaining things that makes it easy to understand and remember. I've done tunisian honeycomb before and never could get the hang of which part of the stitch pattern I should be doing next (especially at the ends/beginnings of rows). I'm looking forward to giving this a try again after watching your excellent video and explanation.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Natasha! Thank you so much 💗

[@lisamceachern4431]

I have been working on this stitch all month of april. It doesn't look nothing like the honey comb.

[@dawnbaker9274]

Finally finished the block. Fairly easy and a beautiful fabric. Even my kid raised an eyebrow in appreciate. High praise indeed. 😄

Whoa! 😁

[@valerieenlow6282]

I love the look of this block and I’m enjoying learning more about Tunisian crochet. Thanks so much for your great tutorials! I can follow you better than anyone! I’ll have to say I struggled with this block. I have so much trouble keeping track of where I am! I think that’s just my weakness overall! I love to do patterns that I can take time to learn and then work somewhat “mindlessly” on the project to finish up. I could not do that with this stitch! Beautiful pattern and I’m happy to have learned it though! Thanks so much!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Valerie! Keeping track of the stitch I'm on is definitely the most challenging part of this pattern for me too...it reminds me of knitting!

Hi Lisa! Thank you for watching 😊

[@Karen822]

OMG! This Honeycomb stitch has taught me a much easier way to do the Purl!! I struggled with it so much last month because the putting the yarn to the front after each stitch felt so unnatural. It just did not flow smoothly and I was so slow. It took me all month to finish it because I put it down after every 1 or 2 rows and moved on to something else. 😥 Now that every other stitch is a Simple Stitch I just learned to wrap the hook around from the front to go under the next vertical bar for the Purl and still keep my working yarn in the natural position! This feels so much better!! It has a natural rhythm to it and it's moving along smoothly. I'm so excited!

[@JaydaInStitches]

That's Fantastic!! Ohmygosh I love it when this happens! It's like something in our brains says "oh! Well why didn't you just say that?!" * giggle * I'm so happy to hear that!

You are right. It's like something clicked in my brain and said just do it like this! 😊

[@jansoine6475]

I am thoroughly enjoying this project!! I've been curious about tunisian crochet for a while now and a new stitch per month allows me to make 2 squares a month and get really comfortable with each stitch. I'm using scrap yarn for the 2nd square and the results are...interesting! Thank you so much for making this happen!!!

[@JenPolishAholic]

I've been using variegated yarn (because people say it doesn't work well with tunisian so I was like challenge accepted). The Feb. square was very interesting because of it lol

Hi Jan! We're delighted to know you're enjoying this year's blanket project!

[@PeggySmithSC]

Being a beekeeper, I was really excited to learn April's Tunisian Honeycomb Stitch! However, I am extremely challenged when it comes to numbered and to repetitive tasks. It took me way to long to realize that the stitch names begin with my initials! Since I am making 4 of these blankets at the same time ( three with squares measuring 10" x10" and one 12" x 12") being able to repeat my initials for each stitch pattern really helped! I just repeat P S, P S, P S, P S, ... ! Thanks so much for this Tunisian Calendar Blanket. I'm really loving it! You are such a great teacher.

Had a hard time getting started with this block! I th9nk I ended up starting and then three of four rows later, I was totally lost! Frogged it, then started it again - three times!!! Got it started again, slow crocheting, for probably 6 or 8 rows, and totally focused on each stitch and FINALLY got the hang of it. Still had to focus but not on every stitch. Was able to see what stitch was where and if I did need to frog anything it was only 2 or 3 stitches. Finished the block last night. I'm afraid I may have to go back and redo the border! I think I forgot to use front loop only on the right side! But no big deal. Happy with the honeycomb look now! Thanks.

I just finished this square and I love this pattern. I really couldn’t get March’s square because the purl stitch confused me, but now that I’ve completed this one, the purl stitch is easier to complete.

[@JaydaInStitches]

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Janie! As a knitter this will feel a little easier for you, I'm sure!

I'm completely lost, lol Maybe you can do a tutorial on that one of these days that would be amazing! I've already made the cowl using needles you have on your channel. Would love to do a hat or scarf! 🧶 🧶Back to today's tutorial, I noticed the purl stitch is shorter and tighter on the next row, while the simple stitch is longer. This is helping me along. Thank you again and have a great weekend! ❤️☕❤️☕

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Afroditi! * waves madly * Oooh, circular needles! I've made a couple of projects using them (to actually work in a circle) and once I got the hang of it, I really enjoyed it. I find the biggest struggle is keeping the stitches relaxed so they don't tighten down the wire and make it difficult to get the needle back into. Also, if you've not got enough stitches, that whole circular thing can be a real pain, if the wire is too long!

[@claudettewood3858]

In order to keep up with rows that switch back and forth, I write down the number of rows I'm doing and what stitch begins that row. Sooo much easier for me to keep up with!

I really like the the Tunisian Honeycomb Stitch.. don't know why this one was easier for me than the Tunisian Purl, but it was fun and quick and mostly square when the block was finished {AND I got a cute headband out of the sample swatch - it just kept getting longer and longer and longer ;) }

[@songsofloveresistance8549]

I'm a bit confused about something. One of the things I love about crochet is that there's always more than one way to achieve the same outcome. But I'm not sure why you don't bind off the live Tunisian stitches before adding your single crochet border, either with a slip stitch bind off, or an in pattern bind off? It's the first time I've come across this. Thank you 😊.

Hi! That's one of the things I love about crochet too! We simply don't need to bind off the square as we're adding the regular sc border 😊

Hi Jill, every Calendar Blanket square goes up on the first Friday of the month. April's Friday just happened to be the first 😊

The purl stitch last month was by far my least favorite crocheting experience. 😥 The keeping the working yarn to the front felt so unnatural and it just didn't flow well for me. Hopefully it will get better with this one.

Hi Karen! I felt exactly the same way when I was learning the purl stitch in knitting! It drove me nuts and it took a while before my hands found a natural way to bring the yarn forward and just get used to it. It will take a little bit, but the truly nifty visual results are worth it!
