Starter Guide to Tunisian Crochet is both an educational book and a pattern book. The “how to” section is thorough, and really well photographed. If you already have the basics of crochet, this will get you going with Tunisian in minutes! In fact – this book taught me how to read Tunisian crochet charts, something I hadn’t tried before!
The majority of the book is taken up with the 16 patterns, with a variety of difficulty levels. Everything from easy beginner dishcloths to an advanced multi-stitch blanket and an adorable baby sweater are included.
The patterns in Starter Guide to Tunisian Crochet include a market bag, scarf, hat, wrap, shawl, poncho, pillow, and more. And those patterns feature a variety of stitches! You’ll learn to crochet Tunisian bobbles, cables, and even lace.
Tunisian crochet, formerly known as Afghan crochet, can be used to make just about anything you can knit or crochet. It’s a skill that experienced crocheters can pick up in just minutes, and it’s so fun to have a new way to stitch! Mary Beth is a crochet expert and a Tunisian expert, so the Starter Guide to Tunisian Crochet is a great addition to your crochet bookshelf!
