Thanks for the add!
Thanks for the add!
What a great and easy stitch!!!! Excellant!!!
There are tunisian crochet hooks that have a plastic fishing-line extension at the end of them, for making really large items like blankets – available at specialty yarn shops online (not normally in your regular craft stores). The other thing I’ve done is make really long rectangles (like scarves) then sew them together into a blanket. Still requires joining, but it’s easier than doing squares.
how can i make a blanket like the example you have on the video at :24 . did you make it with a needle of that size on the video? how do you make a blanket of that size without making individual squares? if you can help me that would be great. thanks =]
Cool! Thanks for the feedback.
thanks i made a scarf for my ag doll
Just to update: I finally found a store in my city that sells these hooks! and other materials. For now, I’m into slouchy crochet hats using medium to chunky yarn. Fun! Aiming to get into the Afghan/Tunisian work sometime this year. Thanks again! ^_^
Changing colors are normally done at the beginning of the row where you start to pull up the loops. I also like to keep that same color for the next row when you start to remove the loops from the hook. You can either cut the previous color and tie the new color on at the beginning of the row, or – if you are only doing 2 rows of the color, you can carry the previous color up along the side.
Glad the video could help. Your afghan probably looks gorgeous with this stitch!

o gosh thx a lot im trying to make my grandmther a scarf for her birthday and i lost my manual idk wht i would do wit out this video thx again’!!!
I would love to learn how to professionally crochet. But sometimes I get so discouraged because I don’t know how to make anything. I know how to stitch. But everytime I look at a book or look at the patterns under more info under your name I don’t understood the terminology. I won’t give up though. I find myself starting and stopping all the time.
Your chains could be loose or tight depending upon the effect you want to create. In my video, I do the chains looser and the stitches bigger because it’s easier to see on YouTube. For my own items, I usually use a much smaller afghan hook and crochet the stitches tighter. But either way works nicely.
Thanks I will look at that.
should the chains be lose like that or tight?
Hiya! If you take a look in the “more info” section of my tunisian stitch video (it’s under my picture) – I have links to free patterns in there. The crochet pattern central link has patterns for afghans, dishcloths, potholders, scarves, bookmarks, flowers, pillows, belts, ornaments, purses, hoodies, etc. using the tunisian stitch. Hope this helps!
Naztazia. What can you make out of the tunisian stitch and the afghan.
Thank you vry much,I’m going to jump on that right now.
Hi – how many to start off with depends upon the size of your yarn, hook, and how you crochet. A safe bet for a tunisian stitch scarf is anywhere between 10-20 chains. This forms the width of the scarf as opposed to the length. The length will be determined by the number of rows you choose to do. 15 chains would be good to try at first – and either increase or decrease from there. Take care!
