Honey Peaks Throw is the perfect Tunisian crochet throw for those cold winter days, when all you need is a cup of tea with some honey, book or a crochet project and a great view of snowy mountains out of your window. This throw is worked up quick thanks to the bulky yarn while it is far from ordinary thanks to the combination of Tunisian crochet stitches.

Skills required:
To create this beautiful Tunisian crochet throw, you will need to master (or already know) these stitches and techniques:
Chain, Tunisian crochet technique (alternating forward and backward passes), Tunisian simple stitch (tss), Tunisian purl stitch (tps), Tunisian honeycomb stitch (ths), Tunisian knit stitch (tks), end row changing colours, binding off in Tunisian crochet, blocking
Skill level:
Finished measurements:
The final Tunisian crochet throw measurements (blocked):
132 cm x 153 cm (approx. 52 x 60)”
Materials and tools:
To get the exact look as on the pictures of my Tunisian crochet throw, you will need:
Paintbox Yarns Simply Chunky (100% Acrylic | bulky | 100 g (3.5 oz) = 136 m (149 yds), Mustard Yellow (A) #323 10 skeins, Misty Gray (B) #303 8 skeins
Tunisian crochet hook size 7 mm with cable (at least 100 cm (40 in)) or size to obtain the gauge
Tapestry needle
Scissors
The yarn used for this project can be substituted by:
Red Heart Comfort Chunky
Yarn Bee Tender Touch

Gauge:
Blocked Gauge: 13 sts x 11 rows= 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4)” over stitch pattern
Gauge helps you to understand how the project turns out in terms of the final size. If you would like to achieve the exact size of the final project as in the instructions above, you gauge needs to match exactly to the above.
If you get more stitches and/or rows than stated above using the exact hook size as per instructions, your final project will turn out smaller. Conversely, if you get less stitches and/or rows than stated above using the exact hooks size as per instructions, your final project will turn out bigger.
To make adjustments, if you get more stitches and/or rows, you can try using bigger hook size to get closer to the desired size. Conversely, if you get less stitches and/or rows, you can try using smaller hook size to get closer to the desired size.
It may take trial and error to try out a few hook sizes to achieve the exact size.
Alternatively, if you really don’t want to make several samples to achieve the desired size, you can try to alter your tension as you work the project. However, I would advise to try this out once you master the basics of Tunisian crochet as it may be a bit tiresome to try to master the basics of Tunisian crochet and focus on alternating your tension while working the project.
Stitch guide:
Tunisian crochet stitches are worked in forward and return pass from right to left, with the number of stitches (loops) increasing on the hook during forward pass and decreasing during the return pass.
Return pass (RP) is worked in the same way for all stitches used in this project as follows: 1 ch, *yrh, draw through 2 loops on hook, rep from * until 1 loop on hook.
Edge stitches:
Right edge stitch- This is the first stitch and is not usually worked into because there is one loop on the hook left after completing the return pass of the previous row. This one loop corresponds to the first stitch of the new row.
Left edge stitch- This stitch is referred to in the pattern as the End Stitch and is crocheted as follows: Rotate the end of the fabric towards yourself, insert the hook under both bars (left and right) of the last st, yrh and pul.
- First row of Tunisian crochet: Insert the hook in the back bump of second ch from hook, yrh and pul across. Standard return pass.
- Tunisian simple stitch: Insert the hook from right to left under front vertical bar of the next st, yrh and pul. Standard return pass.
- Tunisian purl stitch: Bring yarn to the front on the work and hook, insert the hook from right to left under the front vertical bar of the next st, yrh and pul. Standard return pass.
- Tunisian honeycomb stitch: This stitch is worked over an even number of stitches and 2 rows as follows:
- Row 1: *Tss, tps; rep from * to last st, ES. Standard return pass.
- Row 2: *Tps, tss; rep from * to last st, ES. Standard return pass.
Tunisian knit stitch: Insert the hook from front to back between the front and back vertical bar, yrh and pul. Standard return pass.
Bind off: Insert hook from right to left under front vertical bar of the next st, yrh, pul and pull through the loop that is on the hook. One loop remains on the hook.
End row changing colours in Tunisian crochet: The new colour is added when finishing the return pass of the previous row and 2 loops are remaining on the hook. Yrh with the new colour and draw through 2 loops.
If this is your first Tunisian crochet project and are not sure if this blanket matches your skills, I have a Tunisian crochet masterclass tutorial that will jump-start your Tunisian crochet journey!
Stitch chart:
Honey Peaks Throw stitch chart and legend
Notes:
Number of loops on hook equals number of sts for row counting.
The throw is worked flat with RS always facing; the pattern consists of two alternating sections: 12 rows of honeycomb section worked in Mustard Yellow and 12 rows of peaks section worked in Misty Grey. The two sections are separated by 1 row of Tunisian simple stitch worked in the colour of the consecutive stitch section.
