I watched this with the sound off because my husband was watching something on TV. Your tutorials are so good I understood everything without the sound. I love your videos ❤️
Martha M. This is such a high compliment!! Thanks so much 😊
Same here. I have been sitting here watching without sound.
Beautiful pattern. I’ve never seen it before can’t wait to try. Thank you for sharing! Great video presentation.
I do this too! This great video makes it easy to follow along without sound.

I wanted to thank you so much for this video. I am a 37 year old single man with two very young grandchildren, I want them to always have something that I made with my own two hands, and your tutorial is literally so easy to follow that I only had to come back to it once. The stitch is so beautiful and I cannot wait to show my mother the completed blanket. She is the one who got me into crocheting. Thank you so much again!
This comment made my whole day! 😊❤
This is such a sweet comment. My great grandma crocheted me two blankets when I was born and had always told me there is love in every stitch. I took them with me when moved across the country and I use them all the time. I hope you enjoy making your crochet projects, and I hope your children love the things you've made them all their days 💗
I love how you just teach!! There is no long monologue filled with a lot of useless info and patting the project!! Just show us what to do and move on!! ❤ thank you!!
My brain is not liking the yarn under lol it’s programmed for yarn over
Tell me about it. My eyes and hands too.
We need big size crochet for knitting big shawl etc
This stitch is sooo beautiful! But I'm struggling with the yarn under too, but perhaps at some time it will come naturally just like it is to yarn over. 🤞
same i heard yarn under and was like 😳
Me too
Oh, so this is the name of my hook.
I found these two 14 inch long hooks at the Thrift shops in my neighborhood back in 2012. Being lefthanded no one wanted to take the time with me and teach me how to crochet. I purchased these hooks and taught myself off of UA-cam. I never knew why these hooks were so long, but after I found you showing us how easy it is I'm going to try it.
Note: I'm older than dirt, can't see much, and very little time left to finish my bucket list. Thank you sweetheart for making this easy on us.
I adore you, Toni! Due to health issues, I am spending a lot more time at home and realized that one of the afghans I’m curled up in is something I made as a child over 50 years ago. That gave me the idea to make a first year of marriage temperature blanket for my niece and her soon to be. I was looking for something I hadn’t done before, and found this pattern. It only took me four tries to get a swatch that’s presentable, and am about to start a scarf to perfect my work by the wedding in July.
Every stitch will be a prayer for their health and happiness. ❤❤
Deep in the wild woods of West Virginia, I stumbled upon this video and grabbed my yarn in trepid wonder. As no one in my neck of the woods had ever heard of this style of crochet, I was forced to create my own needle. I taped a chop stick on the end and I must say, THANK YOU! I wish I could show you a picture of my very first project. It turned out GREAT! I hope new comments bring more views for you! Good fortune!
Welcome to the club! 👏
I love the way you get right down to business! thank you for the wonderfully clear instructions. And I love your nails, too!
Wow! This is so cool! I just started Tunisian crochet a few days ago and I’ve already learned 6 stitches and I’m almost done with my second project. I think this is my favorite stitch so far. It’s much easier than it looks I just had to say ‘yarn UNDER’ out loud for a few rows till I got the hang of it!🤣 Thank you so much for your videos! They are the best, you explain everything perfectly and it’s so clear to see what you’re doing. Your nails always look great too! 💕
OMG! I’ve been crocheting for 51 years and this smock stitch, while beautiful, is a PITA! Plus, the cable part of the hook is driving me nuts! I’m going to find my straight hook tomorrow, come hell or high water, and at least, get rid of that annoyance. I’m super tired, which probably has something to do with it, too. Maybe after a good night’s sleep, this will seem less of a pain.😫
On the plus side, I’m loving your videos, you have a very beautiful and soothing voice which makes them even more enjoyable. I’ve subscribed and learned the honeycomb stitch from one of your other videos and it came out wonderfully. I’m not going to let this kick my butt, LOL. I’ll be back mañana!
Thanks!
Does that mean you think this stitch is hard?
@@carolmorton7213 🤣🤣 absolutely!
Does the cable on your hook turn upwards and make you have to grip really hard it to keep it in the right place so you can do your stitches... Mine does I'm wondering if you can dip it in hot water a change the curl on it or dry it straight because I will darn sure hang my hook up forever more to never have to deal with that again
I'm so sorry to hear you ladies have been struggling with this stitch. I found it really easy and have made four cushion covers!
Holy cow she is such a good instructor! I've been crocheting since I was a kid but never learned more advance stuff. I just started on Tunisian crochet. I swear she is the best for explaining and teaching this.
Your tutorials make reading the introductions for the blocks make so much sense.
I love that you explain why you're doing specific stuff. It's really helpful for remembering how to do it because of the why.
I just bought one of these from a thrift store, being seeing them for years, and decided I wanted to learn how to use it. Yours is the first video I've watched and I'm hooked. You have made it so easy. Thank you!
I don't know something about you makes you an amazing teacher.
OMG you're on a rol!
I love Tunisian crochet, but as a newb, I've been confused about how to end the row and glad to have found your channel!
Thank you for demystifying - and I really like this particular stitch!
Such a beautiful puffy and stretchy fabric. It looks as if it would be super warm for a blanket or a hat - lots of little thermal pockets. I’m LOVING your videos. As a knitter I’m just looking to expand my craft skills and your videos are so helpful.
This is a lovely tutorial. I'm planning on making my partner a blanket using blocks crocheted in different tunisian crochet stitches
Now I totally understand why it’s yarn under. I had tried the yarn over and it curled like crazy! Thank you for this. If you’re not yet aware of this, your way for this smock stitch (yarn under) prevented those curled edges. I love it! 💕 thank you again 🙏🏼💜
I’m used to yarning under so this is so easy to me! Thank you so much for this lovely video. It’s amazingly easy to follow, and now, I’m going to make a mood blanket for some family, asking them each day how they feel, and assigning a color to their emotions. It’s actually helping us build a bond, and it’s a good way to show I care!
My sister just got me a set of Tunisian hooks for Christmas. I can't wait to try this! 😊 Merry Christmas and happy crocheting to everyone!
Toni: Your teaching skills are superb, and your videography has inspired me to investigate camera support hardware. I’ve been knitting for almost 60 yrs. This is the first crochet that has ever looked right to me. Thank you. I have a grand baby 16 hrs from home. Tunisian crochet is my new car craft.
I have been wanting to learn Tunisian stitch for years! Thank you so very much for these easy tutorials!
UA-cam has always been my platform since the mid 2000's. It's a innovative way in comparison to how I originally learned how to crochet back in the mid seventies. I have crocheted off/on for 44 years, I'm back to the very basics because it's been more off than, on as my life veered to other interest. I am back, focusing on blankets of various stitches, until I master the blanket project. Your tutorial of this Tunisian stitch, is blowing me to a wonderful place, of showing other options of textured tapestries. You have offered a nice, simplistic, comprehensive example, in your teachings of this beautiful stitch, thanks a million for sharing.
I was just given a tunisian hook for Christmas and this is going to be the first thing I make. this is lovely. thank you
I just read a tutorial where they do a row of single crochet first instead of just the chain stitches..ghat helps for prevention of curling
I thought that was a good idea💕🍀👍🏻
I’m enjoying your videos very much /thank you
Thanks for the tip. I thought I was doing something wrong, because mine are curling. It’s not me, it’s just the stitch I am doing. WoW, what a simple fix. ❤️
I’ve learned so much from your Tunisian videos! Easy to see and understand the way you present it. Thanks so much!
You are an excellent teacher I' m now ready to put down my standard crochet hook ( for awhile) and pick up my Tunisian hook. You really make learning these stitches easy, and I thank you.
I loved this tutorial! I am new to the crochet world, and am learning via youtube, and I have to say...you are a wonderful teacher. You explain so well, and the speed and ease of your work is a "Crochet Goal" for me. I look forward to more of your tutorials. Thank you for the awesome post!!
Thank you for being so calm and clear with your instruction. You are great!
I really like the Tunisian Crochet videos and would like to see projects like sweaters and shawls.
PLUS, your fingernails are always so lovely! Fun.
Thank you so much for such easy directions. I had been many many rows into this stitch, but my sides looked like a wandering creek bed. Your explanation was clear and simple. My new attempt looks MUCH better!
Amazing tutorial!! First time I’ve ever tried Tunisian crochet at all and your tutorial made this stitch so easy to create!!
Watching you do this amazes me! Thank you for sharing this with me. I so appreciate it.
When I saw the design I thought it would be difficult but you made it so easy to understand! Thank you! You are a Blessing! Stay Blessed everyone! 🙏🏼💜🙏🏼💙🙏🏼🧡🙏🏼💛🙏🏼💚🙏🏼
Oooh, almost done with bias stitch...getting even more excited about this one!
I love you so much!!!! I got into crocheting this year, and I always find your tutorials the easiest to follow.
I have watched many tutorials, you are the best, the calmest, the funniest! I love your tutorials!
Thank you for this tutorial. I learn so many new stitches with your instruction and techniques! So very pretty!🙂
Great tutorial. Explained and demonstrated so well!
I find crochet quite hard, so i like how i can always see the number of stitches i have - or am missing - easily on the hook with the Tunisian style. this is a lovely stitch pattern. thank you!
I bought this Tunisian crochet hook yesterday and decided to try something out for the first time. Tried this pattern and I’m so impressed! It looks so good and I’m very pleased with it. So thank you for making this super helpful and accessible tutorial I really like it!
I love the way you teach. You make it so easy for this old brain to understand. Thank you ☺️ x
I just found your Tunisian crochet videos! I tried this technique a few years ago and intended to learn more about it, but I got distracted and had not gone back. After watching a few of your special stitch tutorials, I am definitely going to try them! I love to learn more techniques, and you are an awesome teacher. I am so glad I found these!
I have to admit: I kind of stopped crocheting when I was 9 or 10 (more than three decades ago), so I've only learnt what my mum taught me. But I found my old hooks the other day and kind of want to start up again, so I went to UA-cam! (And have found loads of great inspirations for projects as well as tutorials to remind me of what I used to know. )
Tunisian crochet is a new concept to me, but it looks really interesting - and I just did a quick test-swatch of your pattern and it was both easy, pretty and actually rather satisfying to make... So thank you for teaching me! Great little video that does exactly what it says on the tin.
Your descriptions and demonstrations are so good! Thank you.
This is the best tutorial ever. Very easy explained and just enjoy the stitch. Thank you so much. Almost done with my blanket
Oh wow, I just decided to give a try to tunisian crochet after watching this video. You explain so well! Thank you!!!
I can't wait to try it and thank you for posting one of the best crochet tutorials I have ever seen.
I love your videos. You go at the perfect pace and I can see exactly what you're doing which makes it so easy to follow. Thank you so much.
Such a beautiful stitch and you make it seem so easy. Thank you for sharing this tutorial.
Wow, this looks so cool! I'm a moderately beginner crocheter looking for more patterns to master so I can practice making things like phone slings or bags, and this tutorial was super helpful! Thank you so much!
I've just started learning how to Tunisian crochet and your videos have been a life saver! Thank you so much!
You are a wonderful teacher! And your new book is beautiful. I was so happy when my signed copy arrived. Thank you!!
I love watching your tutorials while I learn how to work my sample pieces. You really do a great job teaching ❤
So well explained. So clearly understood. You’re a wonderful teacher! Can’t wait to do this. Than you for being so patient with your teaching. Well done!
I love this stitch! Thank you Toni for teaching with video. You make evrything feel easy.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that has issues at the end of the row finding those two stupid loops!
I found you when I went looking for a way to learn alternative Tunisian Crochet stitches. I'm so thankful I found you.
I LOVE your nail colors. I could not understand why all of our nails had to be the same color if we used nail polish. So glad to see so many creative souls rejecting that boring style.
I noticed that the colors really help me focus on hand position and help me pay attention to the steps you are teaching.
I noticed that you start your work differently and do the end stitch differently than I learned how to do them. I came here to learn so I did it your way. I think your methods produce a much nicer edge at the bottom and sides.
I am really excited about learning new crochet methods and stitches. Thank you for providing the "how to" so I can make my "can I" a reality.
I just love watching you. You explain and go slow which allows for great learning!
You are so good at teaching- thank you. I have never tried Tunisian stitch. Going to give it a go
Many thanks for showing us how to add patterns on Tunisian Crochet, I have of late started to have an interest and love in this subject.
Be Blessed................... Shalom
Does anyone else find her shiny nails weirdly satisfying? Maybe I’m just really tired but I was like mesmerized by them. I completely zoned out
I don't crochet, and I completely agree. Her voice, her nails, the pace of her work... all just hypnotic. Who needs guided meditation when you have TL Yarn Crafts?
What a beautiful stitch! And your instructions are so easy to follow! Thank you!
You are the very best teacher ever! Thank you soooooooo much
I’m just starting to learn Tunisian crocheting. Your tutorials are the BEST! I’ve made the simple ear warmers on a regular crochet hook. I’m waiting for my clover hooks coming soon. can’t wait. Thank you for your helpful videos!❤️
I love this stitch! You are amazing at your teaching skills and I enjoy watching your tutorials! I look forward to more of your videos!
I am saving your wonderful tutorials so I can incorperate the different textures and styles of stitches into my blanket of squares. I hope I can share my finished product with you!!
You are amazing at giving clear instructions! Love it!
Great video!! I’ve been having a bit of trouble with this stitch but your instructions totally cleared it up for me! Thank you!!
That is so pretty. I bought the Merci pattern and have ordered Dishie. Can’t wait to get started!
This tutorial is so excellent, thank you! I've watched a couple of other tutorials for the smock stitch but kept getting caught up on how to wrap the yarn - the way you explained the YU - hold - YO made it SO much easier. Thank you so much!
Thank you, your tutorial is so easy to understand. The smock stitch looks pretty and eve your little sample is so beautiful 😍
Love your videos. Easy to follow and you make me confident enough to try Tunisian crochet. Well done. 👍❤️
This is a beautiful stitch, thank you for your clear instructions and getting right to it!
Thank you so much. You are such an amazing teacher. I have learned so much from your tutorials ❤
Really love this tunisian stitch. For sure going to make this pattern. Thank you for sharing with us
A beautiful stitch, beautifully explained and demonstrated. Thank you very much!
Your videos are the best! All business and I watch once and understand. Thank you!!
Wow! This is beautiful and unique pattern; it’s like V inside V kind of... well explained like your other patterns, thanks a lot
This is my first attempt at the Tunisian style. I have to admit I may have been a little intimidated but after watching your video I’m loving it!
Your the very best teacher ever. Thank you 😊 so much for making this video. Without it I'd be lost. Your soothing and calm voice is so reassuring that I can make it. I love 💕 Tunisian crochet just as much as crochet, I appreciate you so much. Have a blessed and wonderful day.
My granddaughter just introduced me to Tunisian crochet over the weekend and I am totally hooked!!! I started looking around the internet for videos of different stitches and found your video. You are the best!!! I have absolutely no problem following your instructions and I LOVE the way you show every little movement you make. You make it so easy to follow! Thank you. I am going to do each different stitch in blocks to make a sampler afghan once I can do the stitches without going back and forth through your videos. This is so much fun!!!
You are a very good teacher. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. You really made my day when I could learn this without any trouble just because your instructions were so clear. Thank you so much!
Great video! I like the speed you narrate/crochet since I don't have to constantly pause/rewind to figure out what is going on
Thanks for this tutorial!! I also watched your Tunisian crochet basics video. Just tried the smock stitch out and it's working out beautifully! I've never tried Tunisian crochet before, but saw a TikTok using this stitch and I fell in love! So glad I found your super helpful video!! ♥️🧶
I love your tutorials! I’m making a patchwork pullover using all the different Tunisian stitches I’ve learned from your channel!
I really love this pattern you make it look easy ! Something tells me the yarn under is going to be very clumsy at first. Thank you for the video💕
It did take a bit of getting used to, but once you get into the swing of it, it's really easy!
Thank you for the great tutorial Toni, you're a great teacher! ps.. I'm loving the nail polish!!!
Amazing. You are a great teacher! I love this stitch! Thank you!
Wonderful! I will have to try it. A friend was showing me a few years ago and she made it sound so difficult, but your video is marvellous and so clear. Thank you.
You are such a good teacher 😊I am new to this type of crochet, but I’ve always wanted to give it a try.I believe by watching your great videos, I will soon loose the fear of failing at
this new technique . 🌹
Love this! Obsessed. You are very good at instruction on Tunisian crochet! Thank you for making these videos😊
Thank you so much for this video, Toni. I am using a light colored worsted weight yarn to practice while watching and it is coming together. There’s nothing like muscle memory. My Olivia Shawl is waiting patiently.
I love this stitch. Thank you for sharing the video with us.
That color is great too
I am excited to start this today. You explain everything so well!
Looks so simple... it’s beautiful 😍...will have to give this one a try...ty Toni.🥰
I agree, love the pattern and making a blanket for my grandson
This was perhaps the clearest explanation I have ever seen. i feel competent that I can have a go at making something using this stitch.l
Thank you, thank you for this video. 🥰 I tried to follow the smock stitch videos by another crocheter who didn't explain anything. I did my forward pass three times, not understanding how she ended up with twice as many stitches as I had!! You explained it all so well! 💖 💖 Now I get it.
Decided to use this pattern to make a baby blanket with color changing yarn! Just now realizing (one skein in) that I did it wrong. 🤣 too far now to start over and it looks great, but not the same! Glad that even though I did something wrong, it still will turn out okay!
