Written pattern for this stitch:
Make a number of chains matching your desired width. Keep in mind that the first loop on your hook counts as a stitch, so make the exact number of chains desired. Chain 1 (let's call this your anchor chain).
Yarn over (this plus loop already on hook counts as a stitch), insert hook into the second stitch from hook, and pull up a loop. Leaving the loop on hook, yarn over and insert into the next chain to pull up a loop. Keep doing this until the end of the row.
Note: Stitch loops are counted as multiples of two plus 1 or double the number of chains made minus 1
Return Pass:
Yarn over and pull through 3 loops. Rpt until end of row. This will be the same throughout.
To form the DK stitch:
Looking at the front and back of your stitches, you should see two vertical bars of the front and two vertical bars at the back.
On the back, there may appear to be 3 bars, but the middle bar is the right-most bar from the front. Yarn over and insert hook between the left-most bar and the right-most bar on the front and to the left of the middle bar and the right of the left-most bar on the back. This is necessary in order for the stitch to form.
You will know you're doing it right when you see the V-like pattern forming on both sides. This may take a few rows to see clearly, so practice a bit to be sure you're getting it right before jumping into any projects.
For the last stitch, yarn over and insert the hook as you normally would to end the tunisian crochet row. (I.e. into the two bars of the ending chain on the side). Your last loop always counts as your anchor loop for your last stitch. That's why you'll yarn over and pull through 3 rather than pull through 1. If you pull through 1, then 3 until the end of row, you'll get a gap between your 2nd to last and last stitch.
Rpt starting from return pass until you have your desired length.
Using either slip stitch or sc, do your bind off stitches following the double knit pattern. Sc is recommended as it adds further to the knit look.

    I wonder what this would look like if you did it with a double ended crochet hook (or a cro-hook) and worked it with two different colors from each end.

    Please , please consider redoing this using white t-shirt yarn or something a lot less fuzzy.

      Apologies for the blurriness 🥲. I don't have a better camera available right now to film a video of better quality, and if that's not the issue, then I'm unsure what might be causing the issues. There are captions on the video that you can follow, if anything, as well as written instructions for how to create the stitch in the description. Hope that helps for now 🙏🏾

      Just seeing your comment now. Sorry for responding so late. Could you tell me more about what issues you're having when trying to execute the stitch? Is it that you're struggling with where to place your hook?

      Ahh, gotcha! I figured it could be confusing. I could try to upload some pictures highlighting it if that would help. You could also try opening up and looking at the stitches. The front two bars are pretty obvious and easy to go through, but then on the back, you'll notice that you can see the bar from the front there. As long as you go to the left of that bar, you'll always get it right cause the two back bars sandwich it. Also, keep in mind that yarn type can sometimes influence the stitch and I've noticed that using a smaller hook can give a neater finish as well as you don't really need to go up hook sizes with this particular tunisian stitch. Sorry this has been giving you so much trouble, though. I'll leave a reply once I've posted the pictures. Edit: Added pictures to the community section so you can check those out to see if it helps as well.

    I wonder if you have come up with a way to do the Y/O in a second color?

    • @kaios_crafts
      @kaios_crafts 9 місяців тому

      Thanks for asking that. I never thought to do that before, but upon seeing your question, I had to try it out. Based on the rough test I did, yarning over with a second colour would take away from the reversibility of the stitch. In essence, it would no longer be the tunisian double knit stitch. Maybe if I could find a way to anchor down the yarn overs 🤔? It's something worth experimenting with, I'd say, even if I now somewhat doubt it's possibility. I'm thinking you were hoping for a similar look to a double knit pattern in knitting? Due to the way how each element (the yarn overs and the pulled up loops) of the stitch plays into each other to create the pattern though, I don't think it would be possible to pull off. It might look similar to a double stockinette, but it's definitely not quite like it in construction 😅. If after more of my experimenting, I do figure something out, though, I'd be more than happy to share.

    I love those LeeYien hooks! There are so many more sizes included than in the BIGNAMEBRAND, that is exactly the same except for the color of the cords. They only have a few hooks. Good video!!
