Tunisian Crochet is a little bit crochet, a little bit knitting, and a lot of fun! Also known as Afghan Stitch, this hybrid technique uses a special crochet hook to quickly create blankets, placemats, scarfs, and garments. In this introductory class you’ll learn the Tunisian Simple Stitch and the Tunisian Knit Stitch, as well as how to increase and decrease.
