Outstanding! Not only is the video excellent in every way (duration, presentation, sound, lighting, closeups, pace + NO music) but your responses to questions in the comments are also educational. Wow! I've been crocheting for 5+ decades. Before covid19 pandemic, I took a workshop to learn Tunisian simple stitch. Your online video tutorial was better than the live workshop!!!! This is one of THE best crochet videos on YT - I've watch hundreds of them. I subbed...thx!!!
THANK YOU, for going slow enough so we can see what you are doing; for speaking clearly enough so that we understand what you are saying; and, for tightening in on the shots so that it is very easy to follow what you are doing.
Fantastic tutorial this is just the stitch I need. I struggle with crochet but have fallen in love with Tunisian crochet and now I have another stitch to try-exciting!
Thank you so much Kim! I have wanted to learn this stitch for years. (Since the 70's) reading direction always got me frustrated and lost so I gave up. You have made it soooo simple, I got it immediately! Now I feel like a dummy because it had me whipped for so long. Now I'm pulling out the patterns! Thank you for all your videos!
wow, after 30 plus years, still learning more about my crocheting...and you Kim have a real neck at instructing...thank you, I like your style! Jan in Az :-)
Wow, you're great at explaining things thoroughly! My friend got me into crocheting after my mom tried all of childhood to share the craft. She makes afghans and your vid inspired me to learn this so I can pass this stitch to my mom! Thank you!
Hi Kim I love watching your videos, so informative. I've learned a lot by watching your videos on tunisian crochet. In your videos whtat size hook do you use for the double stitch please? Thank you
I love this stitch...........but as I was practicing and making a scarf I noticed it "slanting" to the right and couldn't figure out why, any ideas would be a big help.
Hi Kim, I have leart so much from your video's and books. I want to make an afghan for my motorhome, which stitch would you recomend for quickness. I am using multo coloured Aran yarn. thankyou
yeah girl I started getting back in chrochet and I find it relaxing. making my first scarf now. with being on tight budget I find using left over yearn and any crafts you have, you can make it nice for family members.
Kim, I love your video's they are clear and easy to follow even for a beginner to Tunisian crochet. I do have a question, the left side of my practice swatch is starting to look like a pyramid. I know with out seeing it may be hard to help me, but if you have any suggestions as what I may doing wrong I'd appreciate it. Thank you, Cindy
hi, if you are free, visit my new channel about crochet. I believe you will find something you want there : ua-cam.com/channels/LibW0hcYPvvUnCnVqAEE1Q.html
I have started a baby blanket in Tunisian simple stitch (only done a couple of inches) , if I change to the double will it make the work wider as well as longer.
As long as you use the simple stitch vertical bar for your double stitch, it shouldn't affect the width, but it may bias a little bit so you may want to switch back and forth between the two stitches to see if that helps with it.
Hi Kim! Thank you for your video! It is very helpful. But I have a question though... I tried the simple Tunisian stitch and my work do curl. What am I doing wrong?
Hi, Looks to me that u pulled through just one chain at the last stitch of the first row while saying pull through two..?! I m a bit confused by this.. Could u please explain.. Thank u!
This is a typical closing for all standard Tunisian crochet stitches: ch 1 to start, then *yarn over, pull through 2 lps, yarn over, pull through 2 lps, yarn over, pull through 2 lps, ..... all the way across.
+Patti Williams Since it's taller than a single crochet, you wouldn't be able to swap them out in a pattern. It would require experimentation in order to get the square.
I love this stitch but I'm still trying to figure out how to keep the left side from slanting as the the project gets bigger. I don't understand why the right side stays perfectly straight but the left side always ends up going crooked. I've tried doing just a simple stitch instead of a double stitch on the last bar for the left side and that helps some but doesn't fix the slant completely. What am I doing wrong on the left end?
If you are maintaining your stitch count, it is just the natural bias of this particular stitch. For some people, there is a left bias and others, there is a right bias. This stitch is particularly "bias-y". You may be able to straighten it with simply setting the stitches by stretching from top to bottom (dry blocking) or with wet blocking. You can also try different insertions of the stitch; i.e. knit stitch instead of simple stitch, or working into the top horizontal bar.
So, a friend of mine gave me a couple of these hooks. it's very simple but I can't get my tension right at all! it's way too tight. any suggestions? thanks
You may simply need a larger hook. For instance, I use a K or L hook with standard size 4 yarns. If you don't have a larger hook available, perhaps you could use a finer weight yarn with the hooks you have, in order to discover your perfect tension.
CrochetKim I have worsted weight yarn and am using a K hook. I figured out that it's gets tighter bc of the slant at the beginning of the hook. of course, I don't know how to stop that from happening. thanks for responding!
You may loosen up once you get more accustomed to it. If you're making the double stitch, it's actually more loose than others and working it in the front vertical bar is looser than, say, knit stitch.
Kim: Is it possible to use this stitch to work a blanket in entrelac? I'm doing one in Tunisian simple stitch but I was thinking...maybe an entire entrelac afghan could be made using this, or purl stitches, or knit stitches, etc.... Ever seen such a thing?
I'm sure there is a way because the concept is proven with diagonal box stitch. If you are familiar with the concept of the popular corner-to-corner pattern from Red Heart yarns, you could use it to create something like it in Tunisian fairly easily.
It's easy to lose the last stitch of a row just like when learning single crochet. Try with a small number of stitches and count as you go for every single row until you become accustomed to the look of the last stitch.
Thank you Kim I love this I am just learning tunisian and I'm told to use a size larger hook than the yarn says. what size hook are you using for this? And it looks like a regular crochet hook? thanks again I love it I subscribed and liked :)
No puedo hablar en espanol por ganchillo pero quisas este ayudare o Google tunecino doble: 1º: Ida y vuelta normales. Vueltas siguientes: IDA: Se empieza con 2p cad. *hebra sobre el ganchillo, introducir el ganchillo, hebra sobre el ganchillo y extraer 1p., hebra sobre el ganchillo y pasar a través de los 2 primeros puntos* (igual a punto alto sin cerrar) La vuelta de cierre como siempre.
You may need to upsize or downsize your hook. It could be the yarn or a mistake in stitching. Perhaps try a different insertion. It could be lots of different things. This particular stitch shouldn't have much curling at all, but if you experience curling, it will probably relax very easily.
It's definitely one of those stitches which has a natural bias,simple stitch insertion more so than knit stitch insertion. It will require blocking, especially with a garment.

Can you do front post back post stitch?

oh I forgot to ask, Can this been done with 3 different colors or just 1 color?
That wasn't what I meant. I meant How would I change the color? What part.
where can you use this kind of pattern? can I use it on beach cover up?
You can use Tunisian crochet for anything you would normally find in regular crochet.

Why are you turning the chain when you start the fist stitch??
Personal preference. It makes the edge neater to work into the back horizontal bar.

It's definitely one of those stitches which has a natural bias,simple stitch insertion more so than knit stitch insertion. It will require blocking, especially with a garment.
