I am less than a week into crotchet, and started this today as a gift to my sister. I had to frog the first 2 rows multiple times, but now I’m about a foot into it and getting the hang of it. Thank you for the wonderful tutorial.
Toni, I admire you! I fought with Homespun yarn for years when I first learned to crochet. The last project I made with it was about 15 years ago (a single crochet triangle scarf). I swore when I finished the project I’d never use it again. This project looks lovely and might be easier to manage the yarn, but I just can’t do it! My anxiety level climbs just thinking about it! 🤪🤣 Thanks for all your great videos. I truly enjoy them!
This is SO GORGEOUS!! I’ve always loved the way the homespun yarn looked, but never found a pattern or project that I thought would fit its look. I really want to try this 😃😍
I don’t like this yarn, however I LOVE your channel!!!!! You are an excellent teacher and have the best voice for doing so. I only wish I knew how to Tunisian crochet. I feel you are one of the best at teaching crochet on you tube !! Keep up the excellent work !! God Bless !
Thank you so much for this pattern. I am left handed and it is hard for me to read a pattern, but if I can see someone else crocheting a pattern I can do it. ❤❤❤❤
I am one of those people that actually loves Homespun yarn, and have made several different baby blankets out of it. The recipients always rave over the soft snuggly texture. Though, I am new to Tunisian crochet, this very well be the first thing I make. Thank you for the lovely pattern!
Same here... love it and hate it! I did my first project EVER with it, before I knew anything about yarn. I made a loom knit hat which I still have all these years later and I STILL wear, even if it’s not that pretty 😂😂😂 but I remember struggling with how much the yarn was splitting, probably due more to my I experience, but if I can make a scarf this beautiful I’d give it another shot!!
I've been fighting with the idea of Homespun for a long time, and I just ordered it based on your tutorial. I'm in mad love with Tunisian, so this is the ONLY reason I gave in where this yarn is concerned. Thanks for your help with this! I so appreciate you.
I’ve just discovered your channel, and love it! I think I can finally make a Tunisian stitch project with straight edges by following your directions. Thanks! As for Lion Brand homespun yarn, uh...no!! Years ago, I made an Afghan in 12” squares using Homespun, to sew my grandson’s Boy Scout badges to. It was a present for him earning his Eagle Scout award. I would have been fine if I hadn’t made a lot of mistakes, but that yarn is not forgiving, to be polite. Thank goodness my grandson loved it...years later, he still has it in his room to wrap up around him. Even now, I hear the word “Homespun” and shudder. It is wonderfully soft, and the colors I used were lovely. If you are a perfectionist and can’t stand any mistake at all and unravel projects a lot, my best advice is to use a simpler, sturdier yarn. I’m so glad you were able to do such a nice scarf using it!
I love how the Homestyle feels when it is done but have only been able to use it for knitting as it split too much for me in regular crochet. I will give this a try in Tunisian. Thanks!
I’m like you Tony, love it hate it. The purling of both ends of the row is a brilliant idea!! This pattern is an excellent use of this yarn. I have a ton of this yarn and looking forward to playing with the color blocking. Thank you for coming up with this pattern👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤸🏽♀️🤸🏽♀️
I did it! First Tunisian project ever. I also have a love/hate relationship with LB Homespun. This project fell on the LOVE side of that relationship 😍. Thanks for a fun project, Toni!
Thank you for this I have tons of homespun that was just wasting away in the back of my stash but with this pattern i see some Christmas presents coming soon
Definitely going to try this one! (Although I'll be using other variegated yarns I have on hand.) The fringe-cutting tips are excellent, especially using the cutting mat and rotary cutter. Thank you!
Beautiful scarf and the fringe cutting tip is perfect! I have used homespun yarn before on a big gifted afghan. The yarn selection was the the recipient's choice and the colour way was to die for. Unfortunately, I have never cursed so much while crocheting so I have banned myself from using it or any similar yarn again.
Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful projects, I absolutely love them. Being my age and started crocheting at a very young age, I am still learning new things. I have fallen in love with tunisian crochet. Thank you so much!!!!!
I love watching you crochet! You make it look so easy and smooth! You have also given me the excitement to start tunesian again! Thanks for all you do!
Hi, I have been using lion brand for many years. I had the same homespun yarn when I first bought lion brand. It was yellow and a multi colored and I made a cowl scarf with it, so soft and warm, that was about 15 years ago, still use to this day. I must confess it took some getting use to working wit it.
I've had this yarn sitting in a bin since the time I decided I really wanted to learn to crochet! Yes, it was probably the most difficult yarn to work with as a beginner! Well, not only did you convince me but this was the perfect beginner Tunisian crochet project (another skill I've been just dying to try!) TAAADAAA! IT'S DONE and I'm so happy with it. I will post and tag it on my Insta account. THANK YOU TL YARN CRAFTS! (By the way I'm now working on two other shawl projects that you designed....loving them both!)
Funny you should mention that! I went in Michael's and they had homespun marked for 19¢ needless to say I brought it all. I have used it on the machine. But this is a great idea for it
This is gorgeous! I also love/hate this yarn but the finished product is so lovely...I have found using a regular yarn paired with , meaning crocheting both together as one stitch, makes the homespun easier to work with, especially in crochet...
Toni, I have several skeins of homespun and haven’t tackled it yet because it looks like it would be difficult to work with. You have inspired me to tackle this project. I love the scarf, but I am thinking more along the line of Afghan. I love your tutorials. Thank you.
Love it and only because this scarf is sooo gorgeous will will give it another chance. I love doing Tunisian crochet even though I've only made a few things (earwarmer, bucket bag, working on the pilson baby blanket) now I just gotta try this. Thanks Toni, oh, I love love this idea using a rotary cutter for cutter fringe AWESOM.
I have made a hat and a cowl using homespun and I like using it but I did use a simple stitch which makes it easy to see each stitch. This looks like a cool stitch to try thank you so much for sharing !! 🐰🐰
i just order the chiagoo tunision interchangeable crochet hooks ,, and i also have the densie and the ones by clover interchangable crochet hooks...i am so glad i found u ..i had no ideas what to di with them ..never use them ...so now this is a great start .,..thanks for all you do and the videos..merry christmas ..Be Safe
So excited to try this with my stash of homespun! I've been waiting for this reveal since you teased it a few weeks/months(? 🤷♀️) ago. Beautiful work!
I’m not making it with lion brand but I am making it with some Bernat kaleidoscope I think it’s called. It’s a super soft yarn and it’s my first time doing Tunisian crochet and holy smokes I’ve been missing out. I bought the stuff to learn a while ago but I was working on a mandala blanket that took up most of my time for weeks. I’m loving this crochet style.
Thank you Toni, having found your website, have been looking at your creations and love them all, thank u for making it easy to follow your designs and I have fallen in love with the Tunisian style crocheting. Have ordered hooks and cant wait to get started on my first project and look forward to tuning in with u again. Chris on Vancouver Island , Canada.
Hahaha! My friend and fellow knitter and crocheter always warn each other about Homespun yarn when we are attracted to it. It is beautiful and we love to look at it, but we have both had trouble with it. Maybe this tutorial will convince us to use it.
I just found your channel and I love it!! You are a wonderful teacher!!! I just purchased a set of Tunisian hooks and the yarn for this scarf. Thanks!! Denise
I HATED that yarn until I used it in a weaving project. Right now I'm using it for "hair" in a crochet cap/wig. I tied knots in the ends to keep it from unraveling and am LOVING it. My husband just shakes his head wondering what is wrong with me for wanting a yarn wig in GREEN! LOL, but I really can't wait to get it finished! P.S. I found a throw online today in a pattern I just adore! If I can send you a picture, can you see if you are familiar with the pattern?
I have about 20 skeins of homespun that I got on an amazing sale way back before I knew any better. LOL. I have been looking for a pattern for a throw and I think this would translate VERY well! I'm excited to get started... wait... I have 30 other WIPS.... Oh well...what's 1 more?
I love your videos but don't normally like to do Tunisian crochet. (have tons of this yarn in my regular crochet project linus blankets, not my favorite to use but great in the finished projects) seriously thinking about making a smaller version of this with this yarn for my secret Santa, though. thank you!!
Thanks Toni for this tutorial. I have been wondering about homespun.....now I think that tunisian simple stitch is all that is needed with the yarn. Might still make a blanket but maybe I will make it scarf like and then join strips together? Then I could make it as wide and long as I want. Who knows. It's a thought in progress at the moment. All I know is I want to make myself a rectangular blanket using tunisian crochet and I think I like homespun yarn....
New subscriber! I love your tutorials! ❤️I’m a new crocheter and was wondering if there was a purpose for the two purls on each end or if it was just design?
I am having an issue with the last stitch. Is the last stitch the chain one from the previous row? I have had this yarn forever and never knew what to do with it. This is beautiful and my first project doing tunisian Crochet (I know ambitious 🤦🏽♀️😁) that vertical bar though! If I put a marker in the chain one space will that work?
Rolling is normal with Tunisian crochet. Steam it lightly once your done and it should go flat. If your hook is rolling, you may need to invest in swivel cords. Stationary cords tend to make the hook turn, since the hook rotates with the cord.
I am less than a week into crotchet, and started this today as a gift to my sister. I had to frog the first 2 rows multiple times, but now I’m about a foot into it and getting the hang of it. Thank you for the wonderful tutorial.
I’ve used this yarn before and didn’t find it difficult at all. I made a prayer shawl for a friend and it came out beautiful.

Thank you so much for this pattern. I am left handed and it is hard for me to read a pattern, but if I can see someone else crocheting a pattern I can do it. ❤❤❤❤
You sold me. I usually have a hard time separating the stitches but I'm leaning to Tunisian crochet and you are a great instructor and inspiration.
I have this homespun yarn and I had no idea what to use it for.. I will use it for the Tunisian crochet scarf. Thanks for posting this video.
I am one of those people that actually loves Homespun yarn, and have made several different baby blankets out of it. The recipients always rave over the soft snuggly texture. Though, I am new to Tunisian crochet, this very well be the first thing I make. Thank you for the lovely pattern!

Same love/hate here. I found a garter stitch (for me) shawl was best route. I will try this pattern!! Thank you!
I’m like you Tony, love it hate it. The purling of both ends of the row is a brilliant idea!! This pattern is an excellent use of this yarn. I have a ton of this yarn and looking forward to playing with the color blocking. Thank you for coming up with this pattern👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤸🏽♀️🤸🏽♀️
Just bought 4 skeins and watched your video. Can’t wait to start it!!
I did it! First Tunisian project ever. I also have a love/hate relationship with LB Homespun. This project fell on the LOVE side of that relationship 😍. Thanks for a fun project, Toni!

Beautiful, Thank you for this video , this will be my first time doing Tunisian stitch. Your a great at explaining this project,

This is the project that will make me pick up Tunisian Crochet again, lol. That’s for such a simple, clear, easily followed, lovely pattern, Toni!
Someone gave me a bunch of this yarn but the harbor made let too much air in and was cold. This is a perfect project! Thanks so much!
Funny you should mention that! I went in Michael's and they had homespun marked for 19¢ needless to say I brought it all. I have used it on the machine. But this is a great idea for it
I'm working on this now, and wow I finally found a way to use this yarn. I also discovered it makes awesome pom poms
This is gorgeous! I also love/hate this yarn but the finished product is so lovely...I have found using a regular yarn paired with , meaning crocheting both together as one stitch, makes the homespun easier to work with, especially in crochet...
Just what I needed to improve my Tunisian skills. Thank you so much.....

I love home spun yarn. I can't wait to make this scarf. Thank you

Hello really nice scarf thank you for showing us how to make it

Thanks for the fringe tip. I make alot of scarves
Yes I think I will give this scarf a try. I never liked that yarn but this seems to fits.

thankyou so much for this video i absoluely love this scarf the colours are sooooo pretty definately my next project thankyou!!!!

Simply gorgeous! I don't know if I'm brave enough to do this yet with that yarn but maybe, lol.
Great tutorial thank you. I've had trouble doing the pearl stitches at the front and back of the chain. I'm working hard to get it right.
I love your videos but don't normally like to do Tunisian crochet. (have tons of this yarn in my regular crochet project linus blankets, not my favorite to use but great in the finished projects) seriously thinking about making a smaller version of this with this yarn for my secret Santa, though. thank you!!
Very nice! your work is always top notch😁

Wtf. This Tunisian crochet is blowing my mind.
Very nice!!
Would love you to show how to weave in ends as no border
excellent!!
New subscriber! I love your tutorials! ❤️I’m a new crocheter and was wondering if there was a purpose for the two purls on each end or if it was just design?
I have some of this in my stash that I just could NOT work with. I’m gonna try again now with this.
I can definitely tell that yarn would be the one I could not afford in the shop. So chunky. Thanks for sharing. Is that what’s called homespun?
I am willing to give this a try! I have tried and frogged two different projects with this yarn….it is not fun to work with!
Gorgeous
Thank you
And you can use the trimmed fringe for stuffing in any amigurumi projects or quilting or pillow making etc. 😁
So nice to hear someone else struggle with this yarn. Fun project! Love your videos.
Thank you for sharing this tutorial.
I love your nails! Did you use gel stripes?
The left edgy of mine is looking more bumpy/twisted, do you know what I might be doing wrong?
I am having an issue with the last stitch. Is the last stitch the chain one from the previous row? I have had this yarn forever and never knew what to do with it. This is beautiful and my first project doing tunisian Crochet (I know ambitious 🤦🏽♀️😁) that vertical bar though! If I put a marker in the chain one space will that work?
Just started this. It is very hard to count the rows. Can you tell me, is it supposed to be 10” wide?
I’m a regular crocher. Trying to get into Tunisian crocheting how long did it take to do this scarf?? 🤔🤔🤔
Beautiful yarn but how do you keep it from shedding?
How can y'all work with that squiggly-wiggly yarn? I will make with a smooth yarn tho. LOL
😅
Love the pattern. Hate the yarn. Just can't bring myself to use it.
Fabulous
Does the homespun fray at the end of the fringe? How tto avoid the fraying?
Would this work with a smooth yarn?
❤
Can You Use 2 solid colors instead of a solid and a variegated
Of course
If i may ask a question. How do you stop your project from rolling and my hook keeps turning how do i stop that also?
Rolling is normal with Tunisian crochet. Steam it lightly once your done and it should go flat. If your hook is rolling, you may need to invest in swivel cords. Stationary cords tend to make the hook turn, since the hook rotates with the cord.
Can not find a 9mm m/n Tunisian crochet hook
😊🌷
For the sake of being able to see the stitches, it would have been great if you had used a yarn where the stitches would have been more visible.
Hey....my name is Bobbie....lol
Homespun yarn is the worst. I tried knitting with it and was so disappointed with how hard it was to work with I threw it out.
WoW just got a bunch of this yarn, in love with this pattern❤️🩹🧶❤️🩹
Very nice!!
