The book then progresses onto the main stitches that are used for Tunisian - including Tunisian Simple Stitch, Tunisian Purl Stitch, and Tunisian Knit Stitch.

My favourite is the wall hanging on the front of the book and the Mite Square Blanket. -- Suzanne Smith * Customer review *Tunisian crochet is a mystery to some of us traditional hookers. with its long hook and knit-like appearance it seems an insurmountable skill.

The photography is lovely, ant the bright images and cool, graphic projects instantly encourage one to try out this technique-worth it alone for the beautiful textures and wonderful patterns you can create with loops and hook.
