Tutorials > Tunisian Crochet
Tunisian crochet is considered by many to be a cross between knitting and crochet.
The distinctive fabric created by this technique looks almost woven instead
of either knitted or crocheted. Tunisian
crochet is typically worked on a long hook
with a stopper on the end - similar to a knitting needle that also has a stopper on the end so that the stitches held on
the tool do not fall off.
Tunisian crochet is different from the standard
form of crochet in that each row is worked in 2 distinct passes: the
"forward" pass, in which loops are worked onto the hook, and the
"reverse" pass in which the loops are worked back off the hook.
With Tunisian crochet, work is never turned; the right side of the fabric will
always be the facing side. Tunisian crochet is also referred to as
"Afghan Crochet" or Afghan Stitch.
