Tunisian Crochet (also known as Afghan Crochet) is a hybrid of traditional crochet and knitting resulting in a thick cozy fabric with elegant designs and texture. Designed for the absolute beginner, this class will cover all the basics of Tunisian crochet including chaining/foundation rows, the Tunisian Simple Stitch, and other basic stitches. These techniques will set you up to create easy projects such as scarves, blankets, coasters, and shawls. No prior crochet or knitting experience necessary. Knowledge of making crochet chains is a plus, but not required.
