Tunisian Crochet Mystery Project

By now you have had a chance to try out some Tunisian Crochet stitches and you've seen the cute little yellow duckie washcloth.

Are you ready for another quick Tunisian Crochet project? Here's one for you, but with a twist...no chart to work from and no picture! It's a Mystery Project!


With a sporting spirit, some basic supplies and the information you will find below, you can whip up a fun little something which will be both attractive and useful. It will be nice enough to give as a gift or to keep for yourself. It can be used in the bathroom or the kitchen, so choose your yarn color accordingly.
