Plaid Rush is a cozy Tunisian Crochet sweater perfect for throwing on as summer turns to autumn. Tunisian Simple Stitch becomes something magical with these simple color changes, reminiscent of autumn leaves blowing across the sky. Lines of cross stitch kisses transform this striped sweater into plaid.

Color changes happen on the Return Pass of each row. Pieces will be slip stitched together with a smaller crochet hook. Cross stitches are made between vertical bars and wrap around the chains made by Return Passes.

Hooks:
K/10.5 (6.5mm) Tunisian hook (or size needed to match gauge).
J/10 (6mm) crochet hook (or size needed to match gauge) for slip stitching seams.
G/7 (4.5mm) crochet hook for ribbing.
