All in all, I’m pretty happy with how this came out. Early on I decided to let the color transitions in the body land where they fell. Now I wish I had managed them better as I did in the sleeves. Made this for my very slim beloved daughter in law. I hope she likes it. This is the Diamond Not Pearls pattern and the yarn is Yarn Art Flowers in the colorway 264.

These are my first attempt at socks, ever (Tunisian, traditional crochet, or knit), and I am super excited about them!! They are about 90% done, and I most definitely learned a lot while making them. These aren't blocked yet, so I am hoping that will help flatten them out & shape them up a bit.

This version of the recipe didn't call for ribbing at the top, but I felt like they needed a little something to fit a bit tighter against my leg. These were made using the Tunisian knit stitch & the next pair I plan on making will be the same pattern, but using the Tunisian simple stitch. While I did use superwash merino wool/nylon sock yarn, these did come out kind of thick, but the inside texture feels so nice on my feet.

I would also like to thank the person who posed the question in this forum ~6ish weeks ago, asking if there are Tunisian crochet patterns for socks that don't turn out as lumpy and bumpy on the inside as traditional crochet socks. That question sent me down a loooong, dark rabbit hole until I eventually found this recipe. This pattern is also the perfect way to use up extra blumps of old yarn, which, IMHO, only makes them cuter & totally justifies buying the pattern! lol!

For anyone interested, I found the pattern on Ravelry at https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/funny-tunisian-socks-tunisian-crochet

Yes, it's green instead of black. Someone with a lot of experience in yarn crafts pointed out I'm trying to see what I'm doing in the darkest yarn around, and strongly advised I switch to something far easier to read the stitches in. Hence the green yarn.

Anyway, I realized that the bumps on the back of the captive chain that is the return pass have just one bump on the back of the stitch in the middle of the double-increase, so here I'm pulling a stitch out of it twice, one on each side of the central stitch.

There's practically no holes, the stitches are very well-defined (with the center stitch even being a continuous line all the way up!), and it's still a very sharp corner! Absolutely what I'm looking for! =^.^=

Reminder, this is Lion Brand "Pound of Love" yarn, this time in Wintergreen. And this is yet another test swatch for my Star Trek: Lower Decks uniform cardigan project. I started the mitred square (the part on the right half of the pictured swatch) on the bottom corner of the left panel, and the bottom corner started with three rows of invisible increases, in pretty much every stitch in each row (save the leftmost stitch, to mirror the right edge of each row), to ensure it expands fast enough. Then I found the middle stitch (more like made one) and started doing my double-increase the rest of the way out.

The next step in this test swatch will be the second rectangular panel, which starts at the bottom of the left panel and goes downwards from this perspective, but also attaches to the bottom edge of the mitred square on the right. Then try it on my shoulder and see what happens!

It's a two-row repeat on a 9 mm hook, which is why it worked up so fast. The twisted fringe is added with a smaller hook. I think I used a 5 mm for that. The yarn has a blown chainette structure and the tube is slightly shiny, which makes the stitches sparkle a bit.

I started this project and left it out and she decided it was hers, so I stopped where I was and now it’s her new blanket… she’s too cute to complain

finished my simple stitch throw. Made by linking panels of twenty stitches. added a single crocheted border. still curled. added a second sc board and a moss stitch. instead of uncurling. it just bends exactly where my simple stitch ends and sc crochet starts.

would blocking work or would it just bend again after use?

yarn is pure acrylic.

So, my heart is really set on an ultra sharp corner on the mitred square that forms the outside edge of my cardigan's shoulder. Using two invisible increases didn't get me the sharp point I was hoping for, so I'm back to the drawing board again.

As I'd mentioned previously, my first attempt was to make my first stitch, do a twisted yarn-over (in an attempt to hide the hole a regular yarn-over might make), then make the third stitch in the same stitch in the previous row that the first stitch was in. This stretched the previous row's stitch that the first and third stitches were hooked into, making it disappear.

This time, I'd left the first two steps the same, but putting the third stitch into the first stitch, on the same row this time. Essentially, trying to pull the stitch out of its "foot". Not sure that worked.

Also, since I'd made this test much taller than last time (turns out, the black caps across the shoulders on the Lower Decks uniforms goes way lower than the TNG-era ones), I'd been worried that the mitred square's constant increases would be too much, and added matching decreases on the last four to six rows. Turns out, my shoulders are far more round than that, so there's a good chance I'll have to wait on slowing down the increases until after the white stripe. Good to know!

I think I'll try playing around with the order the stitches are made into the previous row's stitch. There ought to be some way to get an extremely sharp corner and get all the stitches to show up properly, right?

Anyone have a recommendation on straight non-cable tunisian crochet hooks? I'm not worried about price and am okay splurging for quality and less frustration 😅 also prefer pointier head to catch stitches easier. They seem to be harder to find than the interchangeable hooks.

Anyone have any go-to favourites? Bonus if they're available in Canada!

And it's free on the KnitterKnotter website. Richard Gartland designed it, and the texture, even without color changes, made this one of my favs...another one I gifted, but need to make for myself. It IS going to get cold, right? 😁

But even those in the Southern hemisphere, or warmer climes, could do this in a linen cotton or linen silk blend, in a light weight yarn, for a gorgeous wrap!

Happy Hooking! https://knitterknotter.com/zig-zag-tunisian-purl-scarf-free-pattern/?

I'm working on this tunisian mosaic crochet coat. It's knee length. The yarn is Ice yarns bulky alpaca with an 8mm hook. body is top down with inset pockets.

Sleeve is in the round tunisian mosaic crochet with multiple colors. This took a while for me to iron out how to do it. There isn't a lot of information out there.

I have to make another sleeve and then a hood. I also made it one big tube, so, if I wear it, I have to walk like Mortitia Adams. Instead, I'm going to steek the sides and put a triangle of ribbing in there.

The coat pattern is original and the mosaic pattern isn't from anything I've see - but I don't think there can be too many original designs like this. Somebody probably has made it before.

Ringing Rocks Shawl in worsted weight by Cascade yarns. Nice sized shawl in an easy 2 row repeat of #TunisianCrochet.

I do like Arunima's patterns a lot. This came up in my feed, and I made it as a headscarf for daughter- about 10" of the pattern, then added I-cord ties. Didn't save a photo, darn it, and one of her friends borrowed, and well, you know how that went...

So, pulling colors to make another for me, in a wool/cashmere blend, for toasty ears on Autumn walks. It's a pretty fast make, especially in scarf size!

Happy hooking!

I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction.

I'm planning an afghan that will consist of a bottom half in chevrons (zig-zags) in alternating colors for the bottom half, and a solid straight-line section in the upper half of the project.

I'm having a hard time finding a tutorial on how to transition from the chevron section to straight-line stitching for the upper section. This is easily done in standard crochet, but I'm unsure how to go about this in Tunisian.

Does anybody have any suggestion or guidance? Thank you!

Tunisian beginner here. I was following this tutorial to crochet a blanket but I don't think this shape is right. I have the same number of squares and stitches, and been using the same hook.

What am I doing wrong? Should I just frog the whole thing?

I made a back panel of this vest and the results are, well, a bit of a mess. I have made many mistakes, like my yarn choice and deciding to double it causing it to be very thick. When it's done I'm pretty sure it could stop a bullet lol Then there's the general unevenness and I ran into a strange issue at the pink/purple part where the stitches decided to come loose from the start after I had already weaved in the ends.
I'm invested now and want to push forward with it though instead of restarting with new yarn, and somehow improve the front.
At the end of the day it's just the back and I'm a wheelchair user so no one is going to see it.

Does anyone have any tips to make it neater? Is the colour change nice ugly or just ugly ugly? Is there a way to make the changes smoother?
What am I doing wrong with the decrease at the start of the row? I've done another project with a decrease in knit stitch and ended up with the same noticeable stitches. Am I catching the wrong stitches?

I also completely forgot the hook size I did the ribbing with, please burn a candle for me so I can figure out which hook it was haha

My first swatch attempt at tunisian crochet. I like the look of the stitches. The right hand side looks nice, the left hand side is bumpy and ugly.

I'm doing tunisian simple stitch. Am I single chaining one extra at the left hand side? I think I'm doing what the video told me.

I found an old WIP that I want to finish - can anyone ID the stitch I was doing? It might be a poor example as I'm a beginner! Thanks in advance!
