Right-Handed | Left-Handed Crochet Pattern InstructionsĪ: With Tunisian hook and A, ch 128, working in the back bar of each ch, sk first ch, *insert hook in next ch, yo, pull lp through, rep from * across: 128 lps on hook. Tunisian Reverse Stitch (trs): Insert hook behind work, under back vertical bar, in a side-to-side motion, always staying to the back of work, yo, pull lp through. Tunisian Knit Stitch (tks): Insert hook between front and back vertical bars coming out at back of work, yo, pull lp through. I am hoping to either find the time to restitch it later or perhaps one of you wonderful website visitors will be able to restitch it and email a pretty photo to me to use here. Back in 2002, I didn’t have a very good camera so this is the best I have for now. It was long ago gifted away so I don’t have it available for better photography. I stitched up this afghan over 12 years ago.

Feel free to use the twisting method, if you like.

It’s necessary in knitting since there are only loops across, but I have never used it in Tunisian. I have never found it necessary since there is a chain lifeline through Tunisian crochet. When changing colors in part A of each row, you can twist the yarns to lock them in place, if you like. When changing colors, simply drop the old color to the back and pick up the new color. If you prefer not to work in Intarsia or, if you prefer to use a shorter hook, feel free to work the afghan in strips for joining later. Do not carry the strands across the back or work over the unused colors. This will require that you make bobbins or separate balls of yarn. You will find that each square is worked in Intarsia method. So, keeping with my tradition of “square illusion” afghans, I have designed the Tunisian crochet afghan using a combination of stitches made specifically to remove that curling so often associated with Tunisian crochet! I love square afghans, but sometimes I don’t want something that I have to seam together later.
