Discover a new craft or take your skills to the next level with this beginner's guide to Tunisian crochet which includes 30 gorgeous patterns to make.
Tunisian crochet uses many of the same techniques as traditional crochet, but involves holding multiple loops on the hook in a similar way to knitting. All you’ll need is a Tunisian crochet hook and some yarn to get started, and the result is a beautifully textured fabric.
Discover how to crochet projects for the home such as spiral coasters and a hanging basket, as well as cosy blankets and cushions. There are also patterns for unique shawls, scarves and accessories, from a simple ear warmer and a stripy cowl to a chunky tote bag.
Whether you are a beginner or you're looking for new Tunisian crochet ideas, you’ll find plenty of stylish designs to make, from quick and simple projects to more adventurous pieces that use a range of techniques such as colourwork, texture stitches and mitred squares. All of the stitches are explained in the illustrated techniques section, and there is also a guide to the tools and materials you will need.
