Tunisian Tiles is a bold and modern cushion cover design, worked in Tunisian Simple Stitch, making it an ideal project for beginners and for those looking to explore colourwork in Tunisian crochet. The pattern features colour changes on both the Forward and Return passes, creating crisp, interlocking blocks of Dark Turquoise and Plum Purple that form a striking geometric design. The woven-like texture of the stitch and the vibrant contrast of colours combine to produce a strong visual impact — perfect as a statement piece in contemporary interiors.
The cushion cover is constructed from two identical panels, which are joined along three sides, allowing the 16” cushion pad to be inserted before seaming the final edge. This simple, clean construction adds to the modern appeal of the design and makes finishing straightforward.
Crafted in Yarnsmiths Cotton DK, the natural fibre enhances stitch definition and provides a polished finish. The pattern is written in English using UK crochet terms.
