    Tunisian Crochet: Get Inspired and Try It Today!

    Published: Feb 19, 2013 · Modified: Jul 19, 2019 by Tamara Kelly · 8 Comments

    Tunisian crochet is a yarn craft that combines crochet and knitting to make something that looks a little like both - and a bit like weaving too! The fabric is typically a little thicker than normal crocheted fabric, and it's worked from one side only. To make Tunisian crochet stitches, you use a long straight crochet hook with a stopper on the end. Or you could call it a long knitting needle with hook on the end! Once you've got the hang of it, it's a little bit faster than crochet and about twice as fast as knitting.
