Starter Guide to Tunisian Crochet

Tunisian crochet, also called Afghan crochet, is a blend between knitting and crochet offering the best aspects of both techniques. It produces a fabric similar to a knit but worked on a hook. It’s sturdy, durable, and flexible. Following the success of her first book, Tunisian Crochet Stitch Dictionary, author Mary Beth Temple has written Starter Guide to Tunisian Crochet which contains 15 must-make projects for both beginner and experienced needleworkers. The projects range from the ease of a simple potholder to a more challenging poncho with a blanket project which also serves as a stitch sample project for crochet enthusiasts to work a variety of Tunisian stitches in one beautiful project. Tunisian crochet is a lot quicker, combining the best of knitting and crochet, and it’s become one of the most popular approaches for today’s crocheters.
