Introduction

Crochet is a fun and addictive art. It is very portable and has endless creative possibilities. Tunisian crochet is said by some to be a combination of crochet and knitting. It’s like crochet is the mummy, knitting is the daddy and Tunisian crochet the child. The fabric created resembles woven fabric and is thicker than straightforward crochet.

During this course you will learn the basics of tunisian crochet, and will we make something too! This course includes a beginners kit so you won’t need to bring anything along with you it’s all provided.

Session schedule

Session One
We will begin by learning the basics: how to hold the hook, casting on, forward passes and return passes. These simple steps form the basis of Tunisian Simple Stitch and once you’ve got the hang of it, we will begin making our first project – either a scarf or a case to keep your iPad or other tablet cosy.

Session Two
We will carry on with our project from session one, and look at how to change colours to create different types of stripes.

Session Three
We will learn a new stitch: Tunisian Knit Stitch, and learn how to cast it off your project. We will start to learn different increasing and decreasing techniques.

Session Four
We will finish off learning how to increase and decrease stitches and recap on everything we have learned.

What should I bring with me?

You will need yourself and your glasses (if you wear them). Everything else is provided.

Your course kit includes 4 balls of Stylecraft Special DK or Special Chunky yarn, scissors and a full set of Tunisian Crochet hooks, as well as a snazzy StraightCurves bag to keep it all in! Please note this varies from photo shown on this page as weekender has been discontinued.

What will I take home?

All of the skills you have learned, full instructions, and your Tunisian Crochet kit (see above). You should have completed your first tunisian project, a sample piece or two showing different techniques.
