Hello fellow yarn enthusiasts! In this blog post, I'm excited to share a new Tunisian crochet design that was inspired by the "Knitting Home" channel's video. I was so thrilled with the results that I managed to make 50 of these in just one day and sold every single one! I'll walk you through the process in detail so you can complete this project even without watching the video.

Materials You'll Need:

  • Yarn in your preferred color and weight
  • A Tunisian crochet hook in the appropriate size for your yarn
  • Scissors
  • Yarn needle

Instructions:

  1. Getting Started: Begin by making a chain of the desired length with your yarn. The number of chains will depend on the width of your project. For instance, a bracelet will require fewer chains, while a scarf will need significantly more.
  2. The First Row: Create the first row of Tunisian crochet. This row starts similarly to regular single crochet, but you will keep the loops on your hook.
  3. The Stitch Pattern: Carefully observe the stitch pattern demonstrated in the video. This pattern likely involves a combination of different Tunisian crochet stitches. To understand the pattern, you might need to familiarize yourself with the basic Tunisian crochet stitches. Some of the most common ones include:
    • Tunisian Simple Stitch (Tss): Similar to a regular single crochet.
    • Tunisian Purl Stitch (Tps): Similar to a regular purl stitch.
    • Tunisian Knit Stitch (Tks): Creates a knit-like texture.
  4. Working the Rows: Follow the stitch pattern to complete the rows. At the end of each forward pass, you will work a return pass to loop off the stitches.
  5. Finishing Off: Once your project reaches the desired length, cut the yarn and weave in the ends securely using your yarn needle.

Helpful Tips:

  • Tunisian crochet creates a denser fabric compared to regular crochet. You might need to use a thicker yarn and a larger hook than you normally would for a similar project in regular crochet.
  • If you find it challenging to follow the stitch pattern, try sketching it out on paper or taking notes as you go.
  • Experiment with different yarn colors to give your project a unique look.

I hope this detailed blog post helps you create your own beautiful Tunisian crochet project! Happy crocheting!
