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.

Cro-hooking, cro-knitting, double hook crochet, "crochet on the double"?
Q. Cro-hooking also know as cro-knitting, double hook crochet and "crochet on the double" is a variation of afghan stitch or Tunisian crochet. Are there any good sites out there that teach this? I've googled and the instructions are mind boggling. Also, any free patterns that are pretty and not dishrags?

A. You can find the basics at this website, also called the afghan stitch or tunisian crochet. You can ask the owner of the website to help you locate the video if you can't find it.

I can't crochet without the project shrinking?
Q. I can't crochet straight (as, not in the round, i.e. a scarf, ect.) without the project shrinking. It's annoying!! Everything I make has to be round. P.S. Is Tunisian crochet hard to learn?
Asked by DP - Wed Jul 16 19:12:21 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Be sure to count your stitches after each row. It's very easy to skip a stitch at the beginning of the rows. I hate Tunisian crochet. It takes forever, and is pretty much like knitting.

How do I prevent curling of yarn when Tunisian Crocheting?
Q. Can someone tell me how to prevent the curling of the piece I'm making when using the Tunisian Crochet technique (also known as the afghan stitch). Am I supposed to do a special stitch in the second row such as the purl stitch after doing the first forward pass row? Help! If anyone is confused by my question, Tunisian crochet is also called the Afghan stitch in crochet. Even though it is crocheting, there are stitches called the knit and also the purl stitches. If you go into the "Nexstitch" site, you can see the Tunisian crochet video.

A. If you are making a blanket, it will uncurl when it's all put together with the border. Unfortunately, that stitch does curl. It curls more in the beginning of the project. But it will uncurl when you are done and start using the item. Here are some tips if it's really bothersome:

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 do you use circular crochet hooks?
Q. These hooks are like the circular knitting needles, but are used for the tunisian or afghan stitch. The one that I have is to make a "40" wide panel. I just can't figure out how to use them.
Asked by Donna M - Tue Aug 25 21:27:07 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. I have never seen a circular crochet hook. I imagine that it could be used for circular crocheting in the same way as with knitting. But probably the reason for this type of hook is to hold a great many stitches in order to make blanket sized material specifically a "40" wide panel. You first crochet a chain as long as you need, then you proceed to put loops on your needle. The second row is worked off by first going through the first length-wide loop and thereafter through two loops. The third row is done by putting on loops by going through the length-wide stitches until you finish at the end of the row. Repeat the second and third rows for the length you need.

I am only intersted in afghan's.

A. You will need to learn to change colors - bring the new color through the last two loops of the last color and it's ready to go. don't be intimidated by charts or row counts. You can do these. If you don't want to do the afghan in tunisian, you can do the same pattern in single crochet. The only challenge you'll have is reading the chart or row count forward one row and backward the next. But you can do this - just mark the rows off as you go. I couldn't find a free pattern but I found a cheap one: This is a cute idea. You could make a round afghan something like this. Here's a free round how-to - just make it as big as you want Otherwise, my last idea is just to do an afghan with what you know in the cub… [cont.]
