SPECIAL STITCHES 

  • Foundation Slip Stitch:
    • First Stitch: Ch 1, insert hook into back ridge of chain, yarn over and pull up loop (2 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through 1 loop on hook (creates chain), draw through next loop on hook (creates slip stitch).
    • Next Stitch: Insert hook into chain just created (vertical bar furthest from hook), yarn over and pull up a loop (2 loops on hook), yarn over and draw through both loops on hook (first loop creates chain, second creates slip stitch)
  • Spike Stitch: Insert hook into front vertical bar and front horizontal bar at the same time of indicated stitch 2 rows below, yarn over from behind and pull up a loop, yarn over and draw through 1 loop on hook.  (This creates a long “v” over the previous rows. You can make it as long or short as you like.
  • Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS): Insert hook from right to left into front vertical bar of next st, yarn over and pull up a loop.
  • Tunisian Purl Stitch (TPS): Move yarn to front of work, insert hook from right to left into front vertical bar of next st, yarn over from front and pull up a loop. 
  • Tunisian Knit Stitch (TKS): Insert hook from front to back between front and back vertical bar of next st (under horizontal bars), yarn over and pull up a loop. 
  • Tunisian Reverse Stitch (TRS): Insert hook from right to left into back vertical bar of next st on the wrong side (or back of work), yarn over and pull up a loop. This pushes the return pass to the front of the work creating a purl-like look. 
  • “Work Loops off as normal” Yarn over and draw through 1 loop on hook, *yarn over, pull through 2 loops on hook; repeat from * to end.
  • Tunisian Simple Stitch Decrease (TSS dec): Insert hook from right to left into the front vertical bar of the next 2 sts at the same time, yarn over and pull up a loop 
  • Tunisian Reverse Stitch Decrease (TRS dec): Insert hook from right to left into the back vertical bar of the next 2 sts at the same time, yarn over and pull up a loop 
  • Single Crochet 2 Together Bind Off (sc2tog): Insert hook from right to left into the front vertical bar of the next 2 sts at the same time, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and draw through both loops on hook.

5 PM TUNISIAN CROCHET PLAY ????

Notes:

  • First loop on hook counts as a stitch. Alway skip the rightmost st on the edge. 
  • If you do not enjoy working TRS or if you don’t like the look, you can do TSS for all TRS stitches throughout the pattern. 
  • Change color when there are 2 loops left on your hook at the end of a row.  Pattern has you carry your yarn up the side, it is up to you if you want to do this or cut and join the new color each time.
