Class Details:
Add delightful color and texture to your table with Tunisian crochet. Tunisian crochet is a form of crochet that also uses a bit of knitting technique, and the resulting fabric has a woven appearance. Learn the fundamental stitches required to make a place mat and coaster set. You will also learn how to work with two colors of yarn to create stripes. We will cover the Tunisian knit and purl stitches as we complete one coaster in class. A variety of Tunisian crochet projects will be discussed. Many different weights of yarn will be provided for you to sample using the new stitches you will learn. Join the fun and add this technique to your crochet toolbox.
Technique Requirements: Comfort with single crochet.
Homework:
None
Supplies for Class:
Two skeins of Plymouth Fantasy Naturale cotton yarn (one variegated and one solid), or any smooth-stranded worsted-weight yarn, and a size I or J Tunisian crochet hook. The pattern will be provided in class.
