[@cedarinthecity3358]

I just found your channel and this pattern! I love both :) I'll be doing this pattern, as time allows, while taking care of my adult son after his surgery. It's perfect because it's not too difficult to set down when needed and pick back up as time allows. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@1030ma]

Thank you for this tutorial, I have been crocheting for 42 years and never tried Tunisian crochet and really wanted to. Through your tutorial I feel that I can without being intimidated by it.

[@glazedtalons]

I love the way the Unforgettable yarn works up in this pattern. It's so fun to watch the color gradually change as you go. 👍👍👍🤩

[@melrose795]

Gorgeous scarf and yes, a closer shot on your hands helps much more, cheers!

[@ashleyjames1544]

I love the colors of that scarf. It looks warm and cozy for the fall.

[@bettydiggs2563]

THANK YOU FOR this tutorial, LOVE your explanation of the work. You're a great teacher.

[@StitchingWithLove]

Great tutorial. Clear, enjoyable to watch and thorough. Loved it.

[@2618winslow]

Indeed! So clear and well done. Great teacher. I enjoy all of her videos.

[@doloresungerleider4984]

This is an exceptionally good tutorial. You executed it clearly and concise. I learned a brand new way to crochet a lovely scarf. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

[@mariegengarelli7940]

Love this scarf, thank you! I love to crochet best but I love what the knitting patterns look better. Now I can have the best of both worlds! Keep up the good work and keep the patterns coming. I'm excited at the age of 79, just a youngster in my book, to learn a new craft. I agree with the others who commented, very easy and thorough tutorial. Thank you again

[@bettycapps]

I truly enjoyed watching this tutorial. Although I knew the Tunisian stitch, I learned a lot more. You were very thorough and easy to follow. Thank you.

[@cashcolby8299]

[@ConnyNordlicht]

Hi! This is the best instruction l've ever watched! WoW! Thank you! I had forgotten how to the cross stitch in tunisian knitting/chrocheting. I loved it! I put it to my instructions l wanna watch again if needed! So l can watch several times and show to friends! Thanks and be blessed!

[@eketchopulos]

Best ever instructor and yarn. Great for first learning this type of crocheting!

[@diannewilson2710]

I'm a beginner. Very good tutorial. Thank you!

[@veronicacarson2776]

I am new to crochet (have only made two previous Afghans in single crochet years ago) and found this tutorial very easy to follow. I finished two scarves, one with two skeins of Red Heart Mexicana and one in the Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable Candied (two skeins). My loops on the left and right side are bigger and the rows seem to slant down to the right, but my sister (an experienced crocheter and knitter) advised me that I would just have to block them. My daughter and granddaughter have both claimed a scarf!

[@dawnnielsen6414]

Great video quality and a lovely voice, so easy to follow. Being a beginner, I was having trouble with my stitches being too tight. Your comment on how to put the stitches "past" the skinny part of hook to ensure correct size...YES thx so much

[@eleanorreyes3055]

I am doing this now , love the colors bought it at AC Moore, got my Addi Click interchangeable. Iam new to Tunisian crochet and still learning, was experiencing widening so I repeat it so I watch and followed and made sure it was not tight, made sure I counted my stitches.

[@susanjordan1619]

I have been playing with this pattern in other yarns and it is a very pretty pattern. I need wool!!! :)

[@menahomberg]

I want to try Red Heart unforgettable. Red Heart is one of my all-time favorite yarn companies.

[@mariamelgar1327]

Beautiful. Instructions very clear, Thank you.

[@Ziji-LetYourSoulShine]

Great video for learning Tunisian crochet! Great pointers! Thank you for posting! I love the Tunisian cross stitch! Adds a very pretty, unique touch, compared to doing whole project in knit stitch.

[@Ziji-LetYourSoulShine]

I would love to make a hat or cowl using this same pattern, (4 rows knit stitch, one row cross stitch) (if I can figure out the number of stitches to start with and how to Tunisian crochet a hat, in general.) I'm not sure the color changes with this sunrise yarn would be quite as pretty if the project was wider though. It seems to make nice stripes when making the scarf exactly as you did here.

[@Ziji-LetYourSoulShine]

The scarf you made is gorgeous with this yarn!

[@janamoore6186]

Love your pattern and your method of instructions. You do a very good job!

[@MonaCHayes]

your creation is beautiful and well tutored, thanks.

[@bridgetcarr1236]

Thank you. This is so clear, lovely quality yarn and beautiful scarf

[@brendaestes5391]

I love this scarf! I just started doing Tunisian crochet and love it! You did a great tutorial thank you so much!

[@tamiisraeli2769]

Thank you for crystal clear instructions. Tamar

[@evarothenberg2339]

beautiful. thank you now i can do a scarf for my niece in Tunisian style.

[@sbasanty]

Thank you for this very detailed tutorial. I am making it with Lyons Brand Yarn "Landscapes" it's gorgeous.

[@moniquem8093]

Amazing thank you so much

[@sharingGodswrd77]

beautiful! I'm going to try this one but ib another color. absolutely gorgeous work, Ty for the tutorial!

[@rebeccadees2300]

Beautiful scarf!

[@colleenmisner454]

I've seen where others have used the long tail cast on for knitting for the beginning loops and looks nice

[@BekahCook]

Colleen Misner interesting idea 🤔 I’ll have to try that

[@7slaper]

What an excellent tutorial! Very clear and you're so patient. :) Thank you.

[@debramoore7546]

Thank You for your videos!

[@котадинозаврик]

Спасибо, большое! Качество видео на отличном уровне! Очень красивая у вас пряжа, не подскажите какая?

[@rakiyazubairu5933]

Awesome 👌

[@liziking306]

Can you please share the type of tunisian hook you are using and where I can purchase it? Thank you.

[@se4048]

Love ur tutorials. Could u tell me where u found the cord & stopper??? Really wanna get going on this project. Thnks a bunch! 😉

[@jannawolfe8505]

Thank you for this tutorial. I'm just learning Tunisian crochet and this pattern is simple enough for me to do. I have a question. I'm getting a little bit of a bulge on the right side of my work, is that normal for this pattern? It seems to happen on the cross stitch row. My stitch count is correct on each row.

[@eleanorreyes3055]

Beautiful scarf I’m a beginner, love the colors but the thread kept on tangling, but colors are so vibrant ... just wish I can crochet as perfect as this picture.

[@elenamidence1009]

Britt I love all you're tutorials!!! One question hopefully you can answer 😊 can I use a regular crochet hook? Thank!!

[@kajolkaur6162]

Elena Midence r u good at crochet I am

[@wiseegg4484]

I need help with substitute yarn. I have Cygnet BOHO Spirit and Stylecraft CABARET DK ... will either one of those work? This is such a beautiful scarf. Thank You!

[@jeaninetarchamp5894]

magnifique merci

[@septmornx]

HEADS UP to anyone wanting to tackle this scarf during and after December 11, 2016. First, DO NOT, I repeat, do not use Red Heart Unforgettable! I absolutely do not recommend you try to make this scarf with this yarn. It is now made in variable thicknesses in the same skein and it does not work up well at all. I looked for the color used here and could not find it even online. That should have been my first clue. This video is old! I found Red Heart Unforgettable at Hobby Lobby and bought Lakehouse color. It looked like it was all one thickness from the outside of the skein. Inside, however, it had parts that were even thicker than the bulky yarns! The afghan hook that is called for in the video is a 5 or 5.5. Not even!! I'm having to use a 9 mm hook and I'm just barely keeping the stitches even. There are parts to the yarn that could be called "sock yarn. or even the thinnest of crochet thread. Invariable, when you have stitches with the bulky parts, you'll have to use the thinnest part and it pushes all the bulk to the back of your work, therefore loosing whatever texture you might have had. I'm very disappointed with the information and the scarf I'm making as a gift. It's a total BUST!

[@bhookedcrochet]

+Tomi Inglis Hi Tomi. I'm sorry you've experienced such trouble with this project. I think I can help you out. Red Heart came out with a new addition to the Unforgettable line called "Waves". The Unforgettable Waves yarn has varying thickness just like you're describing. This is not the yarn recommended for the exact reasons you've listed. It just doesn't work. Red Heart Unforgettable, the yarn recommended for this project, is not discontinued. It is available to purchase at most Joann Craft stores and some Walmart locations. I've seen it at Michaels too. Of course you can always order direct from Red Heart or Amazon online. If you haven't found the link to my website which links directly to where you can order the supplies as well as the other pattern infirmation, I recommend you have a look there. That's the best place to start with any of my projecs. www.bhookedcrochet.com/2016/09/06/knit-alike-tunisian-crochet-scarf/ Best of luck with your gift and let me know if there is anything I can do to help. My videos are intended to help you succeed, not frustrate you.

[@septmornx]

I'm at a loss as to what to do now. I've thought I could make a cowl out of what I've already got crocheted but we live in S Calif and it just doesn't get cold enough for such a dense garment. The yarn is so difficult to tear out because the fuzz on it gets tangled and there are times that it just needs to be cut to get it to turn loose. Do you have any ideas of what I could do with it? In total, I have three skeins. One hasn't been started and I have another half skein. Any help would be appreciated.

[@2618winslow]

Just want to add that Lion Brand Landscapes yarn does NOT do well for this either. I just gave up after 20 rows, and I'm an old hand at this. I usually practice extreme patience and hang in there. But this time it just wasn't worth it.

[@septmornx]

Thank you for sharing this info, CarJohn.

[@Michedrick]

I've encountered the same problem with the Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable line. The first one I bought for a different project (blue shades - can't remember the name of it) was just awful. I decided to give the brand another try when I saw this video. It's better than the first one I purchased but still has the varying thicknesses. I love the colors but still quite disappointed with the yarn. I will continue to practice tunisian crochet with this yarn but end product will probably be mine to keep and not to give away as a gift. And yes, this yarn is readily available at Michaels and AC Moore.

[@Hippiecat67]

I have tried this type of crochet, but my bottom edge always rolls up. What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it? Thank you for this video, I saw one thing I was doing wrong on the left edge and now I know how to fix that. Great video and you go slow enough for beginners to see and follow along. Thank you.

[@yvonnesoto416]

You can wet block like she explained or what I normally like to do is use a tunisian double crochet it doesn't roll up at all.

[@Hippiecat67]

Thank you for answering.

[@stellaaltman7503]

The reason Tunisian Crochet rolls is based upon the length of the loop which is pulled up and the position of the pulled through loops on the back of the work. To reduce the curling of the work with Tunisian crochet you must reduce your tension greatly when you are pulling up a loop through the vertical loop. As I work my row of pulled up loops I leave some daylight under the hook, this gives the length of the loop the room it needs to lay flat. I also make sure to pull the new loop up some what sharply causing the row of pull through two loops in the back to move down into the correct position. To ensure your loops are loose enough your Tunisian hook should slide easily through the loops on your hook, if not your tension is too tight. Notice the pulled up loops on your hook are a spiral. If your hook will not slide easily you can loosen your tension by manipulating the length of the loops by working the yarn through the spiral; which is very easy to do. You can look at the spiral of loops on your hook and quickly see which ones are too tight or too loose. The width of your work is controlled by the size of the top loop you pull through when you work your return pass. Keeping the size of the top loop you pull through consistent with the size of your hook shaft will allow you to maintain the same width throughout your project and cause the loops on the back of your work to have a consistent appearance.

[@wendymaddock7705]

Hi the scarf is lovely I've not done a lot of Tunisian but I will make the scarf what wool did you use I love in the uk Warrington Cheshire so hope I can get the wool love your Chanel love Wendy x X

[@susiehomemakersmith6789]

Hi there. I don't know if you found the information you requested, but here it is in case you haven't. She is using Red Heart Unforgettable in colorway Sunset. She uses 2 skeins for an infinity scarf. All of the Unforgettable colorways are beautiful! Check them out and good luck! Hope that helps. Happy Holidays from California, U.S.A.!!!

[@susiehomemakersmith6789]

Oops! The yarn is Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable!

[@siegeldude1]

what brand hook is this you[re using???? I like it because the hook is long yet stilll on a line...

[@moniquem8093]

Addi from Germany

[@bridgetcarr1236]

Available on Amazon, it's a bit expensive for all three parts. The hooks, the wires and the end thing.

[@natalielinton1624]

Jill Myers.... sorry I didn't realize the question I was asking. What I meant to say is where can I buy that kind of hook?

[@Ziji-LetYourSoulShine]

amazon.com Look for 'Afghan Tunisian Bleached Bamboo Carpet Crochet Hooks' There is a set of 12 for $7.69 Hook sizes from 3mm up to 10mm in the set. There is also another bamboo set that is not bleached, but it comes from out of country, so would take forever to arrive. Amazon has several sets of theses, but I found the bleached bamboo set got the best reviews, as far as smoothness. The others seemed to require filing of rough spots that catch on the yarn...

[@Ziji-LetYourSoulShine]

of course what I'm referring to is not the same brand that she's using in the video... Bargain hunter here...

[@wiseegg4484]

Looks like I'm not the only one asking this ... but where did you get the hook that you're using? I've just spent a good bit of time searching for this, I had to give up the hunt. It sure would help out if you would let me/us know. Thank You :)

[@bhookedcrochet]

I'm using the Addi Click Crochet hooks in this tutorial. I recently made the investment because I was ready for a high quality tunisian crochet hook set. Here's the information you need to find these hooks online: www.bhookedcrochet.com/2016/09/01/addi-click-tunisian-crochet-hook-set-review/

[@wiseegg4484]

Thank You so much for getting back to me so quickly. I ordered the 3 piece set and since amazon is so quick I should be starting on your scarf this weekend. Will let you know how it all turns out. Great web site by the way.

[@saraberrycrochet2147]

Where can I find the hook you used in the video?

[@domjaylyssasmom]

Help!!!!!!! I'm losing a stich at the cross over row! What gives!????

[@septmornx]

Could you please tell me why I my work shrinks when I change stitches? I've been doing the basic tunisian stitch and switch to the shell stitch. When I do, I come up stitches short and my work gets narrower. I've torn the work apart and started again being very careful that I don't skip stitches but it still happens.

[@JeffenyGLee]

Tomi Inglis hey. the same thing happens to me. I watched the video from The Crochet Cloud. they explain well why this happen. It says to go 1 size up. I haven't try yet. but hopefullyit works

[@septmornx]

Thank you! I switched to a larger hook last night but haven't started on the shell stitch with it yet. I'll let you know how it works later on today. :)

[@septmornx]

Ok, I switched from a size 6.0 hook to an 8.0 and it's working beautifully! Not only is my right edge looking good as far as the stitching goes but it's staying even. The scarf is also gaining length by leaps and bounds! Don't know if that will help or hinder in the end. Maybe I'll need to buy another skein but that's okay since I've read posts that the 2 called for aren't enough. Something else that wasn't talked about in the video is the various thicknesses of the yarn used, That was causing me a lot of problems but they've gone away with the large hook! :) Good luck with your scarf.

[@natalielinton1624]

i'm just wondering where can i get that kind of hook? i love doing this design and i want to do a scarf and a blanket but not sure where i can buy it?

[@jillmyers6049]

[@cpj101207]

this cross stitch with this yarn is a mother!!!! I'm getting super frustrated. I can't seem to find the posts, what am I doing wrong? Plus this yarn is shedding and getting tangled to its' self.😢😕😭

[@omsabs]

Made it and loved it. Have # tagged you on instagram

[@KcHyBaBakurdistan]

First lol what is so great about it ?😂

[@amynelson7579]

I'm counting my stitches and I KNOW I'm not dropping any because it's consistently 30 (I added 2 to the tutorial), but my left side still seems to be receding.. what am I doing wrong? :(

[@amynelson7579]

the only thing I can think of is that my tension is getting tighter.. anyone else have ideas what I'm doing?

[@septmornx]

I don't have any ideas but I do have the same problem. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

[@elizabethsalvato3710]

Tomi Inglis When u are doing your back row, are u pulling that first loop through before pulling through two loops at a time? I had the same problem ur having until I realized I was forgetting that first stitch.

[@septmornx]

Yes, I am. Now my work seems to be moving to the right. The right side of the work is growing. Not in the number of stitches, but it looks like I'm increasing when I reach the right side of the work and decreasing on the left! I can pull on it and straighten it out but it just looks wrong on the hook.

[@mjsmom77]

I have read that that is normal.. I think in one of Mikey's tutorials from Crochet Crowd

[@elmaqful]

How to prevent it from curling.

[@widyoretnorekyansari3752]

elmaqful change into a bigger hook

[@amynelson7579]

I used 2 skeins, and it's barely long enough to go around my neck once. Super disappointed, but I have no idea what I did wrong. :/

[@marsbeads]

she may have used larger skeins of yarn. just purchase more yarn and continue until you get the length you want. :)
