Tunisian crochet is a distinctive single-point knitting technique that uses a long crochet hook. It can be used to create a wide variety of items—napkins, blankets, socks, slippers, jackets, pullovers, tunics, tops, bags, backpacks, and more. Many people believe this method combines the best features of both knitting and regular crochet, which is why it has grown increasingly popular and remains enduringly fashionable. Tunisian crochet pieces have little stretch in either length or width, do not require lining, are machine-washable, and can be hung vertically, making them ideal for crafting substantial, drapey garments.

This book provides readers with comprehensive, well-organized information covering everything needed to master Tunisian crochet: how to choose yarn and hooks, how to use them correctly, all the techniques and methods of Tunisian crochet, a full range of patterns, instructions on shaping various forms through short-row techniques, and different types of Tunisian crochet, including circular, cross-stitch, and multicolor styles. In addition, the book includes guidance on finishing treatments and care for completed projects.

You can put your new skills into practice—the book features richly illustrated step-by-step tutorials that walk you through knitting iconic designs such as hats, pullovers, tunics, and vests. Of course, it also shares expert tips and practical advice from an experienced crocheter. Explore the world of Tunisian crochet and take your craft to the next level!
