Discover a stunning Tunisian crochet stitch that you can master effortlessly by following a few simple steps. This pattern boasts a rich texture, creating a beautifully thick and luxurious fabric.
THE TUNISIAN CROCHET STITCH
Tunisian crochet blends the characteristics of knitting and traditional crochet, creating a distinctive technique all its own. Unlike regular crochet, where each stitch is completed individually, Tunisian crochet works through an entire row of stitches at once. These stitches are kept on a specially designed long or cabled hook, making the process unique and versatile.
With the Tunisian crochet stitch, you can create a wide variety of projects. From blankets and scarves to hats, tops, and so much more, the possibilities are endless!
Materials
For this pattern, use a 3.5 mm crochet hook and medium worsted yarn. The design is crafted by working each row in two passes, resulting in a textured, durable fabric with a woven appearance.
Pattern of Tunisian Crochet Stitch
Start by chaining 4. Insert the hook into the last stitch and pull up a loop, leaving you with 2 loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through both loops to create a single stitch. Repeat this process to create 8 additional loops. Once you have a total of 10 loops on the hook, yarn over and pull through all of them. This will complete the sequence, giving you 10 stitches.
Switch to the white yarn and insert it into the magic circle. Create 8 loops with the new yarn. Once the loops are complete, pull the yarn through them, just as you did previously.
Start by creating stitches from the purple semicircle you’ve made. Pull the stitches from the base, ensuring you have 7 loops on the hook. Once you have all 7 loops, pull the yarn through them at once. Turn your work, switch back to the purple yarn, and repeat the process by pulling loops through the base stitches.
Follow this pattern until you reach a desired length.
Make chain 4 and insert and insert it to the edges of the pattern.
Make a small chain of stitches all around the pattern. Your pattern is complete and you can use this tunisian crochet stitch to gift someone or for your own self.
