Welcome to Tunisian Tuesday Part 2. Remember if you are following along to make the Tunisian Sampler Ruana the full pattern will be available on that post as it drops. This is the pattern for Block A2.
If you are not, however, this is still a fun overall stitch pattern to learn! It is very similar to last week’s Right Twist in Columns stitch so if you have that one down this will be a breeze!
