Welcome to the World of Tunisian Crochet! Also known as “afghan stitch,” this technique combines the best aspects of crocheting and knitting. The results are the best of both worlds. Depending on the stitches used, Tunisian fabric appears knitted or woven, without the “loopy” look that characterizes regular crochet and an almost limitless number of stitch combinations! Everything from light-as-a-feather summer garments to chunky sweaters and wraps can be achieved using Tunisian crochet, and today’s crocheters will love the effects they can create! These patterns are beautiful and timeless, whether as gifts or to keep! Baby Blanket Made with cuddly-soft, machine-washable yarn, this blanket is as practical as it is beautiful. The pattern combines crossed stitches with Tunisian knit stitches for texture and visual interest. Picot trim adds just the right finishing touch for that precious bundle. Honeycomb Skirt Get ready for the compliments! Tunisian honeycomb stitches really show off this multicolor yarn. The skirt is designed to be flattering rather than clingy. It has a dense weave—no lining required—yet is lightweight and comfortable to wear. Construction is surprisingly easy. Two identical rectangles are seamed down the sides; then an elastic waist is sewn in. Shimmer Shawl Add some “wow” to your wardrobe with this glittery wrap. Saturated colors of peacock, bronze, lilac, olive, and raspberry sparkle with gold flecks in this wonderfully dimensional yarn. The pattern alternates Tunisian double crochet stitches with a denser stitch pattern for visual interest and to keep the garment lightweight. It is finished with scallops on both short sides. Learn the basics of Tunisian crochet, then move right into projects! The fundamental principle of Tunisian crochet is that each row is worked in two passes: The forward pass, in which loops are added to the hook, and the return pass, in which loops are worked off the hook. The work is never turned, so the right side is always facing you. Tunisian Crochet for Beginners will teach you how to make the foundation row and execute the three basic stitches—Tunisian simple stitch, Tunisian knit stitch, and Tunisian purl stitch—that provide the basis for all other Tunisian pattern stitches. You will also learn how to work the final row of your pieces, decrease from each end, and change colors or start a new ball of yarn!
