There are so many ways to make fabulous fabrics in Tunisian crochet – why stop after the basic stitches?

There are endless possibilities and working through these seven stitches will open the door to many more.
Class Sessions
Introduction
1:41
Take a look at the seven styles of stitches you are going to learn and go over supplies.
Chevron
16:49
Review basic tips for Tunisian crochet, then learn your first stitch: the Chevron in Tunisian Simple Stitch. Chevrons can be worked in several variations, but the technique to focus on is how to set up your increases and decreases.
Puff Stitch
17:30
Learn about working puff stitches into your Tunisian crochet, for added texture and warmth.
Staggered Mini Wrap Stitch
10:21
This is a fun one! All the texture is added on the forward pass, and Mary Beth will share her best tips for handling wrapped stitches. You can make this stitch staggered as in the video, or line them up to create columns.
Slipped Stitch Texture Pattern
15:50
This interesting color pattern almost looks like a plaid. Because of the use of slipped stitches you can see two colors on a row of stitching, but you still only have to handle one color of yarn at a time.
The Brick Stitch
12:06
This is another pattern in which we can have two colors in one row but only have to handle one color at a time. This time, instead of using slip stitches, we are using traditional Tunisian stitches but switching up the placement.
Skipped Lace
13:34
This stitch is made with Tunisian Double Crochets and an interesting return pass that create a very open, lacy stitch. It also works up very quickly, so would be great for a last-minute dressy wrap or scarf.
Fan Stitch
12:07
Of the many fan stitch variations, this is a small and simple one that is very easy to learn. Once you have the stitch established, it is a one-row repeat! This open stitch can be made even lacier by working with a much larger than usual hook.
