Mastering the Art of Tunisian Crochet: A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Creating the Foundation Chain

Start by making a slipknot on your hook. Then, create a foundation chain of the desired length by yarning over and pulling through the loop on your hook. This will serve as the base of your work.

Step 2: The Forward Pass

Insert your hook into the second chain from the hook, yarn over, and pull up a loop. Continue this for every chain in your foundation. You should have the same number of loops on your hook as chains in your foundation.

Step 3: The Reverse Pass

Yarn over and pull through one loop on your hook. Then, yarn over again and pull through two loops. Repeat this until you have one loop left on your hook. This completes one row of Tunisian Simple Stitch.

Step 4: Exploring More Complex Patterns

Once you've mastered the Tunisian Simple Stitch, you can explore more complex patterns such as the Tunisian Knit Stitch or the Tunisian Purl Stitch. These stitches involve variations in how you insert your hook and yarn over.
