"This pattern combines two basic Tunisian stitches: the Tunisian simple stitch and the Tunisian purl stitch. Together they form a honeycomb stitch! Also, I love how in Tunisian crochet there is a forward pass and a return pass and I love playing around with bold, statement colours. So, when I was on my summer holiday this year (in my own backyard), I tried to use two different colours for the forward and the return pass and loved it so much I wanted to share it with the world - and see if I could design a garment. Encouraged by my CROMIES - a lovely group of other crocheters and designers I have met on the gram - and by Lion Brand, who kindly agreed to sponsor me with the yarn, I have designed this Tunisian Crochet sweater."

"With its urban style and a casual fit, the comfy, New Eastside cardigan may become your go-to jacket for spring and fall! The simple construction is almost seamless, with limited shaping, patch pockets, and an optional zipper. New Eastside was designed with Lion Brand Scarfie yarn, which I received free from Lion Brand for the design. It's a bulky, wool blend yarn that works up quickly for a warm, soft, and fluffy fabric. The self-striping yarn, combined with the construction of the sweater creates the unique combination of stripes and color blocking."

The crochet bead stitch is one of my favorite stitches to design around. It looks a little fancy, but if you can single crochet and double crochet, you can certainly make the bead stitch.
