Description
A complete course in Tunisian crochet, from beginner to advanced stitches, plus 20 beautiful patterns for accessories. Tunisian crochet is often referred to and thought of as "the blanket stitch," but the designs in this book showcase the range of stitches and fabrics you can create with Tunisian. No blankets here! Beautiful, colorful, lacy shawls, scarves, hats and more really bring out the possibilities of Tunisian.
Photo tutorials are included for all Tunisian stitches, from beginning to advanced, so this book is for anyone who wants to learn Tunisian or those who are ready to go beyond the basics. Includes instructions for left-handed crocheters as well as right-handed.
