Tunisian Crochet: A Daily Practice

Tunisian crochet is one of the least-known yarn crafts but is a fun skill to have in your fiber arts toolkit. Somewhat of a cross between knitting and crocheting, it uses a long crochet hook that allows you to work with multiple live loops at once. Though the technique feels like crochet, many stitches mimic knitting, offering plenty of design freedom. In this class, artist, author, and professor Lisa Solomon teaches the foundations of Tunisian crochet through four essential stitches. You'll create 16 unique stitch-pattern swatches as you build confidence with the technique. The resulting fabric is dense and cozy, making it ideal for blankets, pillows, and warm garments.
