How to Cast On in Tunisian Crochet

Tunisian crochet combines the best of knitting and crochet to create dense, textured fabrics perfect for blankets, scarves, and garments. This unique technique uses an elongated hook to keep multiple loops active, producing a distinctive woven appearance. Our tutorial breaks down the Tunisian simple stitch, purl stitch, and how to work the return pass properly. Learn how this ancient craft differs from regular crochet, what projects showcase its beautiful drape best, and why it’s ideal for colorwork. Whether you’re making a cozy afghan or a structured bag, Tunisian crochet opens up exciting possibilities for fiber artists.
