Essential Tools: Tunisian Crochet Hooks
Tunisian crochet is done with a special Crochet Hook: the Tunisian Crochet Hook. It’s longer than a regular Crochet Hook because you keep multiple stitches on the Hook, just like when knitting. In one round, you cast on the stitches; in the next round, you finish the stitches and remove them from the Hook. There are also versions with a cord attached—ideal for larger projects such as blankets or clothing. The technique feels a bit different at first, but it’s easy to learn. Once you’ve mastered the basics, you can vary the stitches and patterns endlessly.
