I also uploaded to Patreon a presentation I did a while ago about scaling motifs and you might find that useful. It's available to all Patrons, free and paid.

You could make: a vest, a sweater, a cowl, a pillow cover, even a summer top if you use yarn that is thin enough (Tunisian is a bit thick for summer garments, but it can work).

A dark turquoise baby blanket with repeating leaf motifs and a honeycomb border.
This month, Patrons get a beautiful Tunisian crochet leafy lace pattern that can easily be scaled or used for other projects.
The pattern itself is written for making baby blankets, but I can think of multiple projects that would look just as good in this stitch pattern.
There is elastic ribbing in Tunisian crochet. It can be made with Tss or Tks and their opposites in alternating rows. You have to make it sideways, but it is elastic. Tks more than Tss.
You put the live loop on a stitch marker and attach the stitch marker to a completed stitch or a couple of those nearby. Then it can't be pulled through. The hook doesn't stay attached to the work.
Because the construction is unusual, I made a video to go with the pattern. It shows how to make a mini version of the hat www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wyuq...
Looks great!
That's so cute!
Found some bright yarn, hopefully it will look good in the video. I'll try to film it tomorrow.
"A person wearing a pointy red hat with a braided tassel at the top and ribbed double brim. The fabric is made up of Tunisian simple stitches, knit stitches and reverse purl knit stitches, all worked sideways."
I made a mistake in the pattern. You should repeat row 64 after making it, not 44. An errata might turn up at some point, but it's better if you see it now.
I'm thinking of filming a video for a small version, just to show the construction. Would you be interested in that?

Yes, and it contributes to the same fundraiser.
Red hat with pointy top and folded brim with 2x2 ribbing made with Tunisian simple stitches for the body and Tunisian knit stitches and their reverse for the brim.
If you've been wanting to make a Melt the ICE hat in Tunisian crochet, now you can.
It's made sideways with a straight hook, no short rows (although if you want one with short rows you can try the elf hat).
All proceeds go to help those affected by the raids. payhip.com/b/rn5xk
Love it! That honey color works perfectly for this pattern.
So beautiful! Love how each color got to shine in both stitch patterns.
Have you only used long straight hooks? Just like with long needles, unless you rest the project on a surface, you hold the entire project up and your arms work extra hard.
But even when resting the project on a table, for example, I find that the long shaft digs into the back of my hand.
Ooh, are those steel needles? They are my favorite. But I recommend that you do Tunisian crochet with some shorter hooks (potentially with cables as well), as those long hooks tend to make one's hands hurt.

The last project of last year is the last pattern for this year.
Doing the math for all six sizes of this made my head spin a little, but the trusty spreadsheet came to the rescue once more.
This Tunisian crochet elf hat pattern is free on my blog for your enjoyment yarnandy.com/tunisian-cro...
Two pieces of leg warmer with cables. The top one is on the knitting needles, the bottom one bound off. The top one is much narrower and the stitches are more consistent than in the bottom piece.
Restarted the leg warmer with 3 mm needles and it's much better. Will fit just right. I'm really enjoying the pattern and have already memorized it.

What a beauty! Does the fluff smell like dog? Will you blend it with some sheep wool or just try to spin as is?
Tunisian crochet is awesome, some say it's halfway between knitting and crochet. It's great for using yarn as a single, but it has to be in an Z twist for good fabric.
If you can't catch them live on Zoom, the future discussions will also be posted as replays on the FOYAL channel:
Here's the replay of your awesome discussion in the @fastenoffyal.bsky.social.
I think we could have chatted much longer, especially with the feline guests making several more appearances.

Start with the one with Tunisian simple stitches worked straight from a long foundation row, if it exists.
A block a day might be a bit too ambitious if you've never done Tunisian, but if you have time and take it slowly (to prevent hand strain as you're learning a new skill), might work.

I'm excited and made the studio pretty for your viewing pleasure (as in, I placed all the projects on my rack in rainbow order).

Exciting day tomorrow. At 10 AM ET (which is 4 PM CET) I'll be in a live discussion in the FOYAL @fastenoffyal.bsky.social with two other designers: Jenn Lampen or Synaptic Stitches and Marna Gilligan from Cat in Beag. You can also join to ask questions. #knitting #Tunisiancrochet #crochet
This one's regular crochet, Fiona 😅 I did try to make this stitch pattern in Tunisian crochet, but it was not yet successful. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Aw, yeah, that one takes forever. But it looks great 😄
Looks great, congratulations! Did you use regular crochet for the ribbing?
Glad you're learning Tunisian crochet, but that cover looks AI generated by someone who has no idea what Tunisian crochet fabric looks like, nor what hooks look like. I'd check a secondary source for anything you find in that book.

Testing call for knitters!
This cozy size inclusive vest pattern is a quick and easy make, perfect for a tweed yarn, and perfect for layering.
I've been wearing mine every day for the past week. You can make it in a DK yarn or a fingering held double.
