Ifyou'ea beginner to this technique, often thought of asa stylish combination oferochet and kitting, then keep reading fr our simple guldeto the bases. TOOLS OF THE TRADE ‘The ist thing you need to know about Tunisian crochet is that you'll need to usea different erochet hhook tonormal, The technique is worked by collecting many loopson your hook, then working them off again, so you needa longer hook than yout use for regular crochet. ‘Traditionally, Tunisian erochet hooks were extended stel hooks with astopperattheend toprevent those extra stitches fom falling of — similar toa traditional knitting needle. Thistype ofhookis ery heavy, rigid and ean be unwieldy to use, especially i'you grip your hook:in the pen-style hod. Nowadays, with theresurgence ofthe craft, ‘there are many different hooks tochoose from, ‘which have varied benefits. Thereare three main categories within this range Firstare he traditional straight hooks, now ‘made ina variety of materials, suchas more flexible ‘wood and bamboo, or lightweight aluminium. As ‘wellasbeing beautiful, these arealso kinder to yourhands than the traditional heavy steel. Secondly you have the double-ended hooks, ‘whieh tend to hea bit shorter, with a hook teach ‘end. Thistypeis perfect for some colourwork projects, workingin the round and for double-sided fabric techniques. Finally, you have the new hooks with flexible cord.at the end. These tend to feel much more likea regular ookto work with, asthe rigid part is similarin sizetoanormal erachet hook. The cord also holdsall of the weight ofthe loops on the forward pass, whichiseasier on your hands, and also allows you to workon larger projects. FIRST STEPS ‘When working Tunisian crochet, there aretwo distinct passes" toevery row, a forward anda return pass. The forward pass collectsallthe +» TUNISIAN CROCHET loops onto the hook, and the return pass ‘works them off again. Thismeans that you neverturm the work, but always work with the right side facing you. The return pass of ‘therow isusually the same whatever stitch youare creating, whereas the forward pass has slight differences depending on thestiteh youre working, Here, we will begin with the most basi of stitches ~ the ‘Tunisian simple tte, FOUNDATION ROW First, wehaveto worka foundation row, ‘which also consists of a forward and retura pass. As with regular erochet, you begin ‘Tunisian erochet with chain ~the pattern ill tell you how many chains to work, and. (ifyou are working with a rigid hook as ‘opposed to one with a cord) you may find iveasir to work this chain witha regular ‘crochet hook and transfert the longer hookafterwards, ‘Thechainon your hook countsas your firsts. To work he forward pass, insert the ‘hookinto the second chain from the hook, yarn overand drawaloop through the chain ‘sothattherearenowtwoloops (orstitehes) ‘onyour hook. ‘Continue to workin this manner, without missing any more chains, pulling loop through every other chain inturn, and collecting each loop on your hook. The ‘number ofloops on your hook should be ‘the same as the umber ofchsinsin your foundation ~ each loop countsasone stitch Foundation forward pass completed. RETURN PASS, “Toworka standard return pass, youneed ‘to work the loops offtwo atatime. Begin by ‘working ich ike a regular turning chain in ‘crochet, next,yarn overand pull through ‘woloops, 28 Inside Crochet Continue working offtheloopsin twos by ‘makinga yarn over, then drawing through thenexttwoloopson the hookacross the ‘whole ove until you are eft with one oop remaining. Yourstandard return passis completed. Iwill be worked the same for the remaining rows, although the forward pass ofeach following row will be worked in slightly different way depending on the stitch being eeated mad . TUNISIAN SIMPLE STITCH ‘Themost basicand common ofthe Tunisian stitchesisthe Tunisian simplestiteh Ts), ‘which isused in our colourful ombeébag design. This stitch creates fabric that looks ‘woven in construction. > ‘Toworka Tunisian simplestitch forward pass, lookatyour work andidentify the vertical bars that denote each site, “Thechainonyourhook counts asthe fist stith,s0 miss the first vertical bar that’s directly underyour hook. "Now, nsertyourhook underthe second verticalbar from right toleft, yarn over, and pullupaloop, You will nowhavetwolaops (orstitehes) on your hook. * ‘Workin the same way across the entire rv, drawing up loop inevery vertical bar of each site, collecting each loop on your hook as you progress.

CASTING OFF While itis not essential to “east off ‘works you mightin knitting, asthe stitches willbe secure with regula evochet fasten otis mach neatertofinish your work with 2 Tunisian cast-off. Todo this, working from Tips of the trade! Don’t forget: each row Consists of two passes, a forward and return pass. Never turn your work unless specifically instructed to. The right side of your fabric should be always facing you. The first loop on your hook always counts asthe first stitch ‘oftherow,so youdon't needa turning chain at the beginning oftherow- Therefore you always, ‘miss the first vertical bar when starting your forward pass. Don’tforget the Ichat the ‘beginning ofthe return pass. ‘Toadd stability to yourfabric, ‘work the final stitch of your forward pass through the stitch rather than under the vertical bar, with two threads tothe left and oneto theright of yourhook. ‘Tunisian crochet can often ‘curl. To reduce the amount of ‘curlin your projects, work the foundation row into the back ‘bumps of your starting chains. ‘Keep your tension asloose.as possible and once your project Is inished, gently use steam to block your completed piece. Inside Crochet right toleft across the tp edge ofthe work, Insert the hook from righttoleft under the second vertical bar of your work, yarn over ana pull through two loops, so you end with ‘nly one loop on the roche hook. Continue to workin this method, inserting the hook from right toleftunder the next vertical bar, workinga yarn overand palling, ‘through two loops all the way aero. When you get tothelaststiteh of the row, insert {yourhook under the vertical barin the front and the horizontalbar behindit, yarn over and pall through bth loops. Finally, yarn ‘over and pullthrough the one lop onthe hook, then fasten off the final loop just as ‘you would with normal erochet, WOOL.COM KNIT 0800 622 6225 CRC Ls ected EU ee ay oe independent British spinners ‘Open an account and earn SMD Stitches reward ur staff are experienced knitters points with every order placed online and instore. and crocheters.
