Burly

This beginner’s Tunisian crochet pattern works up quickly and results in a sumptuous gift for a man. It’s a simple stitch, and comes out looking spectacular in this yarn and gauge, effortlessly (it only took me two hours to crochet it). I love when that happens. I'm not sure if any of my photos do it full justice.

One day my husband accompanied me to a new yarn shop. When he touched the Peruvian luxury yarn I was considering, he said with awe, “You’re buying this, right?”

Nothing showcases the incredible luster and hand of this yarn like good ol’ Tunisian Simple Stitch. It has a woven look in a big husky gauge that looks great on a man.

Please see the swatches of a few comparable yarns from craft chain stores: Lion Brand's Alpine Wool and Bernat's Roving.
