Q. What is the difference between Tunisian crochet and crochenit?

A. Tunisian (afghan stitch) are the same thing. It's a long hook with one hook end. Cro-knit, crochet on the double is a long hook with a hook at each end. You can use the double ended hook for Tunisian just put a rubber stopper on one end. You also do not turn your work. Double hooking or cro-knit you turn your work and have 2 colors one on each end. I have some links to describe it better.

Which do you like best, knit, crochet, cro-hook work or afghan / tunisian hook work, or all of them?
Q. Is any one doing any entraloc patterns in any of these? Crochet is my favorite, [ I do entraloc patterns in single crochet and afghan stitch ], but I do like all of these.

A. I do all of them plus cross stitch, sewing, quilting. As long as I have a project, regardless of what "art" form I'm good. I've never heard of entraloc before. Gonna have to search up on it.

I started a swatch in Tunisian crocheting. Why does it roll up from bottom every time I add a row?

Asked by SANDY - Sat Apr 18 22:53:05 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. That is what it does. That is, the way the stitches are made, it will curl. What you need to do is do some border stitches. Normally, you would do 2-3 rows in regular single crochet to form a border, and then the Tunisian. Because of the way the stitches are done, it tends to pull in one direction and that causes the fabric to curl. You need to do some stitches, especially on the edges (beginning and ending, sometimes the sides) where you make it pull in the other direction as well. You will find it good practice to always do a border stitch (there are various kinds) whenever you do a swatch.

How to crochet a beanie?
Q. I want to make a beanie. I suck at crochet but I am really good at making the tunisian stitch and so if anyone knows of a pattern I can use to make a beanie using tunisian stitch then I would be really grateful. Preferably just a normal looking beanie, free pattern online. I saw a ribbed one and a "beehive" one but I really just want a normal looking beanie using tunisian. thanks.
Asked by Lilya - Sun Aug 1 18:54:10 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The simplest way is to follow the 'ribbed' pattern, but instead of ribbing do it with a plain stitch. Or make it up - crochet a chain long enough to circle your brow, stitch in tunisian as long as your head is tall, and hten sew up the side seam.After that all you'll need to do is decide whether you want a flat top (press and stitch flat) or a gathered one (take your yarn through each final stitch ont he top edge, and pull tight and fasten off. You'll have to post a pic when youre done! L :)

need a ny yankees beanie crochet or knit pattern?
Q. i'm trying to make my bf a beanie with the ny yankees logo on it for christmas. i'd like to use tunisian knit stitch if possible, but at this point i'll try anything!! can anyone help me figure out how to do this??? i've been experimenting and have tried to do a graph but i can't seem to figure this one out. help!!!
Asked by nicole - Thu Dec 17 03:03:41 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. It seems like it would be a lot easier if you just went ahead and made the beanie and then when it is finished, cross stitch the pattern on the beanie. Another thing you can do is get some felt in the color of the logo and cut it out and sew it to the beanie. As a last resort go to the different fabric stores and order a yard of the material for the team, cut one out and sew that to the beanie. Sorry I have no other ideas, maybe someone else does.
