Very Easy Tunisian Knitting stitch for Beginners
Tunisian crochet, also known as Afghan crochet, is a technique that combines elements of both crochet and knitting. It creates a fabric that looks like a mix between knit and crochet stitches. Here’s a simple Tunisian crochet stitch suitable for beginners:

Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS):
Instructions:
- Foundation:
- Start with a chain of the desired length.
- Forward Pass:
- Insert the hook from right to left under the front vertical bar of the first chain (the one closest to the hook).
- Yarn over and pull up a loop. Keep this loop on the hook.
- Repeat this process for each chain across the row, keeping all loops on the hook.
Tips for Beginners:
- Keep the tension even to create a uniform fabric.
- Use a Tunisian crochet hook that is longer than a regular crochet hook.
- Practice keeping the loops on the hook without dropping them.
This stitch creates a dense and textured fabric, making it great for items like scarves, blankets, or even dishcloths. Once you get comfortable with the Tunisian Simple Stitch, you can explore other Tunisian crochet stitches and techniques.
