Tunisian Crochet for Beginners

Tunisian Crochet for Beginners – our BRAND NEW workshop!

Tunisian (or Afghan) crochet is considered a mixture of knitting and crochet, although you don’t need any experience of either to learn this craft. This workshop is suitable for complete beginners who have never knitted or crocheted before, or for any yarn crafters who would like to diversify their skill set.

Learning outcomes

By the end of this workshop, you will:

Grasp the basic terminology, including the forward pass & return pass
Know what specialised equipment is needed
Understand how your hook size, tension, and yarn weight affects the outcome of your finished piece
Be able to cast a foundation chain and complete the first row forward pass (using the simple stitch)
Successfully complete the return pass, and continue in rows using the simple stitch
Skill permitting: Complete or observe the method of the Tunisian knit stitch
Learn how to cast (bind) off and finish your piece

Details

Each workshop lasts for 2 hours and is delivered live online via Zoom. The session costs £30 per person and includes a Tunisian Crochet for Beginners Guide as well as after-class support.

Left handed?

If you are left handed, this will not affect your learning capability. Tunisian crochet is an ambidextrous craft and can be taught in the same way to both right and left handed people.

You will need:

5mm/5.5mm/6mm Tunisian (afghan) crochet hook
