Handprint square

[LexiPowell]

Hi all! I found the following pattern and want to incorporate it in to a baby blanket.

It's a knitting pattern, but I'm going to try it in crochet, I think (with two different colors). What I'm wondering is if anyone knows of a similar type of handprint pattern (either crochet or knit)? I think it would be adorable to have both. :)

That is beautiful! I hope someone can figure that out!

I think I've seen it in tunisian crochet someplace.

Maybe someone who does tunisian can remember where it is.

No it is one color (cottontots light blue). What gives it that effect is the diffent stitches used.
Offhand I don't see one for a handprint. Maybe someone else knows.

I am not an tunisian-stitcher but I think I have seen a dishcloth or potholder pattern where the pattern is in tunisian-knit stitch and the background was in tunisian-purl stitch, or vice versa. I'll see if I can find it...I'm sure it wasn't a hand print but maybe you could follow the technique and create a graph of a handprint.

Found it - it was a recent Annie's POD, "Diamonds Tunisian Dishcloth". It used the tunisian knit stitch as the background and the tunisian reverse stitch as the pattern. It was from A Dozen and One Tusinsian Dischcloths by Kim Guzman from AA, 2004.

Here's a pattern I found while looking through bag patterns. It has two hand prints on it. The fingers seem a little long to me, but it wouldn't be hard to shorten them a bit.

Thanks for the help! I'll give it a try!

Thanks! That pattern will be great to work from. It shouldn't be too hard to shorten the fingers at all!
