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.
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.
We will be working samples so this is a great opportunity to use some of your stash.
This workshop is being led by Eleonora of Coastal Crochet.
What you will need
Please bring a Tunisian crochet hook to match your yarn. We recommend DK yarn and a 4mm hook. As we will be working on samples of the techniques this can be a great way to use up your stash.
