Tunisian frosted stitch clusters create little peaks that alternate with Tunisian simple stitches to produce this attractive texture. The fringe combines both stripe colors to give the blanket a polished finish.

This is one of eight patterns in a Leisure Arts book, Tunisian Crochet Baby Blankets. You will need a Tunisian hook, either a long, rigid one or a shorter hook with a flexible plastic extension.

The book is available in electronic form on the Leisure Arts website as of December 1, 2013. Print version will be available in January 2014.
