What is Tunisian Knitting?
This ancient
craft is a combination of knitting and
crochet. It uses just one hook but has
stitches on this hook like knitting. Since we
are knitters we abandoned traditional cast on
method and used the Long Tail cast on. The
great thing about Tunisian Knitting is that
it's quick and easy to learn and working with
two colors is easier than with one.
It's a craft with a long history and many names: Tunisian crochet, Tunisian knitting, Shepherd's knitting, Scottish knitting, Irish crochet, Hook knitting, Tunisian crochet, or Afghan stitch.

Who should try it?
Why everyone
(of course)! We think this is the perfect
first project for young crafters. We've
taught 8 to 10 year olds in less than an
hour. In order to make it easy we've included
step by step photo instructions with your
pattern.
Why we love it!
First we love
learning something new. We've gone with the
traditional Tunisian Knitting gauge because
we love the woven look. It's doesn't look
knit and it doesn't look crochet either and
both right side and wrong sides are
interesting. Even better, it is easier to
'knit' with two or three colors than it is
with just one.
We've used it in several projects including scarves for him or her, pillows and even a bath mat.
