Tunisian Crochet
A crochet workshop for those that can already crochet.
Using a very long hook this is perhaps a technique which begins to bridge the gap between crochet and knitting.
The beauty of Tunisian crochet is that the finish is denser than traditional crochet making it a great technique for projects requiring strength or a more solid finish.

What will we cover?
During the course of this workshop you’ll become very well acquainted with this technique we’ll look at a selection of Tunisian stitches including afghan, knit, purl and double as well as how to increase, decrease and work in the round.
This workshop is led by Eleonora of Coastal Crochet.
How will I be taught?
You’ll be taught in our lovely studio by a friendly and experienced tutor, through demonstration and guidance as you work.
You’ll also be able to ask questions, making sure everything is clear and that you’re getting the best results you can.
Do I need any previous experience or skills?
Yes, you need to already be confident with the basics of crochet to join this course.
Are materials provided? Is there anything I need to source myself?
Please bring a Tunisian crochet hook to match your yarn. We recommend DK yarn and a 4mm – 6mm hook. Tunisian crochet makes a dense fabric so it can work better with a larger hook size. As we will be working on samples of the techniques this can be a great way to use up your stash.
What will I take home with me?
You’ll leave with a variety of gorgeous samples of Tunisian crochet.
Refreshments
Drinks and biscuits will be available but we recommend that you bring a packed lunch with you.
