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)

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 Knit Stitch (TKS): Insert hook between front and back vertical bar of next st, 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.

NOTES

Play 5 is the same as Play 2. You pick up loops on the edge of Play 4.
The optional edging is joined to the cowl as you go in the same manner as Play 3 and 4.
If the stitch pattern starts to pucker, go up a hook size to compensate. The wraps can make this stitch pattern tighter than the previous stitches.
