How to Tunisian Crochet a Graphgan (Right hand version)

[@cnoel2110]

This is the clearest tutorial for this technique that I have found so far, love it!

[@Amy-dv6zi]

Thank you so much! This is the first video that shows how to finish or bind off.

[@DarleneAustin3424532]

thank you for this tutorial I'd like to ask you about the color change , if you had to change color for the first stitch and also single stitch color changes mid row how would that be accomplished

[@Piecemaker1623]

Hi Terri. You did a great job explaining this method. Tunisian is a new adventure to me and am actually working on a Tunisian afghan while watching your video.

[@YarnjoyPodcast]

Glad it was helpful!

[@janeclark6303]

Finally!!! You have done a wonderful teaching video. You must have a teacher’s heart ♥️

[@YarnjoyPodcast]

Thank you!

[@stock_orchid]

Great tutorial! Love you method of changing yarn colors. Much easier than others I've been watching and practicing.

[@YarnjoyPodcast]

Glad it was helpful!

[@celinamoore4909]

I use this technique too. I learned the go through 2 when color changing last year. I didnt like how the outline effect was on the back with the throwing the old color over the new color in another video I saw, but once I learned this one, I don't have that problem anymore..

[@leemac]

Wonderful tutorial Terri 💕 It really makes you wonder how folks think these stitches up in the first place doesn't it?! Just looks so cool and is so clever. You're a great teacher - very clear, love that you take it step by step and now I'll be asking Santa for some Tunisian hooks 😂👍 xox

[@YarnjoyPodcast]

Thanks. Lee! Hope you are well. ❤

[@queentutt1959]

i love that tip about the edge stitch on the left end. never heard of that before. it totally makes sense. thank you.

[@monicabrimm1822]

Well now I am going to have to get me some Tunisian hooks lol.❤️❤️Great explaining everything.☺️

[@kaye-q1k]

Thank you I have wanted to do a graftghan but did not know how to

[@FarhanaFaruq]

Thanks so much. You explained everything so well.

[@tamaraschafer3355]

How do handle when the graph has like one stitch color change and then the main color ? Then like three stitches of main color then the color change for 2 stitches and then back to main color. Do I make new yarns or bring up the one I have already done?

[@dumpsterhuman]

you are so sweet thank you for this video!

[@grandmasmagic3858]

hmm..could have done with this 'colour change lesson earlier this week..(first week of November !9)..I'm teaching myself Tunisian crochet AND making a blanket with colour changing in it..as l did not know of your method l am instead twisting the two colours at the back in order to lock them in place..I'm doing the blanket with white boarder and a few rows of white in between various shades of grey..I'm running the white up the sides, 8 simple stitches on each side and then a panel of grey in knit stitch in between..so when l'm coming to the colour change, white into grey or grey into white, l make sure l twist the yarns, once, and start with next colour..

If you’re going to continue this tutorial until the end of the project, I think I will FINALLY try Tunisian Crochet!!!!!!!!!

[@delorisporter8003]

Thank you. Great technique.

[@jlynn113able]

Can I make it for a twin bed or crib bed size and if I can do I need to go up on the crochet hook

[@mariakauflin2523]

Great tutorial! Do you use the same size hook that’s called for on the yarn label? Or do you go up or down, and by how much? Thank you!

[@YarnjoyPodcast]

I am a tight crocheter so I usually go up a hook size. But if I do a bit of it and I feel like it is too stiff or too floppy, then I will either go up or down a hook size if I need to.

[@mariakauflin2523]

@@YarnjoyPodcastthank you!

[@Kansaschickie]

Can you use a C to C graph with this technique? TKS!

[@YarnjoyPodcast]

Yes, you can. But the finished product will be a lot smaller because with C to C, each square represents 3 stitches and doing the Tunisian, each square is only 1 stitch.

[@grannymike9003]

Great instructions. I really want to do this, where do we get the graph picture? I’ve googled but to no avail.

[@YarnjoyPodcast]

The chart is part of a stitch of the month series that is taking place in the Ladylovedesignboutique Facebook Group. Although the technique can be used on any graphed chart. On pinterest you can search for perler bead or pixel charts or even cross stitch charts. I would start with a very simple chart to practice on.

[@grannymike9003]

Yarnjoy Podcast Thank You for those details, I was wondering if I could use any graph so I’m glad I can. I since have started a board on Pinterest to save what I’ve found. I really appreciate your teaching!!

[@YarnjoyPodcast]

@@grannymike9003 Thanks so much!

[@sonjaburger2736]

Good day. Hope you are doing well? I loved your tutorial. I just quickly want to know... Is it possible to use the cut and tie method when doing these graphs? Or must you use bobbins?

[@YarnjoyPodcast]

Yes, you can use the cut and tie method especially if your piece is one sided.

[@sonjaburger2736]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. 😃

[@anniedelgado2858]

Good tutorial. Thank you. I may try this.

[@bettyl.m.6309]

Where do you get your Tunisian crochet hooks set.

[@YarnjoyPodcast]

The one I used is the Denise Interchangeable Crochet Hook Set. I have seen the sets on Amazon. You may also find it on Ebay. I have had my set for a long time.

[@jeanjohnson7221]

Not sure I will try this, but a very well done instruction video

[@CaptainSequia]

Love the tunisian crochet.

[@gailcarter1954]

Will these graphs work the same way with the Tunisian knit stitch?

[@YarnjoyPodcast]

I suppose so. Although I have never tried it.

[@gailcarter1954]

@@YarnjoyPodcast tky. I will try, the only thing is when changing colors. I'll do some more digging.

[@anqelhyuka]

@@gailcarter1954 hi gail :) im looking to use the same stitch, may i ask how it turned out for you?

[@leereadman9940]

wow WOW !! TFS

[@allieg6401]

Thanks for a very helpful video! A friend has asked me to turn a C2C into a tunisian pattern... would you say that 1 Tunisian st is aprox the same size as a Sc? depending on tension ect... (I'm talking forward and return pass for a whole st) I'm trying to do some swatches but i don't do Tunisian all that much so my tension is all over the place. :/ Thanks for the video!!

[@YarnjoyPodcast]

I would think so.

[@allieg6401]

@@YarnjoyPodcast thanks, I ended up doing some sc's across the row and it went wavey like I had increased, also I think the sc's are just a smidge taller but I'm talking like 1.5 - 2.5 MILLIMETERS at the most, with my tension, same hook and yarn. Interesting little experiment 😊

[@mirandacooper9229]

Great video but I do have one question...on the fourth row and the continuing rows, the color change happens sooner. Do you somehow carry the yarn over to where you need to start new color? Would have been helpful to see another row of so of color changing to see how you do that. Also curious to know what the back of project looks like. I am assuming it is not reversible? Again, thank you for a great video. What you shared was very clear and helpful, just would have been even more helpful to see another row at least. ☺

[@YarnjoyPodcast]

I will usually carry the yarn no more than about 3 stitches. Otherwise, I will start another bobbin or cut and reattach. The backside is not exactly reversible but it doesn't look bad as long as you don't carry the yarn over very many stitches. Some people will back their blankets with fleece. I am going to use my panel for a wallhanging backing it with felt.

[@maldonadoruthie]

Thank you for a great video I love it ❤

[@charan3142]

Nice tutorial. One question do we need to snip off the color yarn at end of each row or do you carry it until end of project? How to handle the color change yarn after changing?

[@YarnjoyPodcast]

You don’t snip off the yarn. You just drop it to the back then you can pick it up again on the next pass. I show how to add on a color and how to do color changes in the tutorial.

[@charan3142]

@@YarnjoyPodcast thank you for your prompt response😃 definitely going to try this .

[@karenolson2532]

Can't wait to try this

[@LopsidedCrafter]

Just curious where you learned this technique? I’ve been doing it this way for years. I actually learned from someone who teaches this method and didn’t know many people knew about it 😀

[@kayceegreer4418]

Ya wanna know how I make a Tunisian hook with a cable on it? I take a plain ol' crow-shay hook, the size that I want to use, out to the garage work bench and I bring over the grass trimmer. Then pull off some of that string, cut it to the length I want, hot glue a bead onto the end of it, and hot glue the cable to the end of my crochet hook. I can tear it off when I'm done; re-glue* when I want to use it again doesn't cost near as much! * I couldn't tell you whether I have a high heat or a low heat glue gun - I don't know if it even makes a difference but I have also used 527 glue and E6000. I've only made one permanent Tunisian hook with one, that is basically a repair and I made it pretty bad muck of it. I kept trying to use it to soon and it would break off. I knew when I bought the thing that the tail was too stiff and that it would break off because it was too curled to be able to work with So I kept bending it backwards at the joint to the hook and it broke because the cable was to curly and that part of it wouldn't strike now and that's why it bent the joint backwards all the time. So every time I fixed it it would keep breaking at the same point - finally got enuff glue on there, that it finally stayed but now. it's a bit too fat at that area, but it still works fine. A little slack is definitely what you need with Tunisian, So it's all good!

[@Thaylianightshade]

Thanks so much for sharing!

[@celinamoore4909]

Some people do the Honeycomb stitch around it to stop curling..I done 7 or 8 rows of the Honeycomb stitch with the one I'm working on now, before I started the pattern,so there's no curl. I am also trying something new,-doing the picture in the Tunisian Honeycomb stitch, and the background in Tunisian Simple Stitch..

[@YarnjoyPodcast]

Thanks for the tip! Have never heard of the honeycomb stitch before.

You are so welcome

Do you mean tunisia 🇹🇳 Thx🙏

[@hipwaterswamp]

I wish you would have shown the back of your work. Also, on the second row of purple color, the color change begins 2 stitches from where the previous row started, and I wonder how you handled that. Did you cut the original purple yarn and start with a slip stitch again or did you pick up the hanging purple yarn where it left off the first row and stretch it over the back to start the second row? Thank you for the video. I learned a lot from your technique.

[@YarnjoyPodcast]

If it is just 1 or 2 stitches difference, I will just carry it covering the yarn with my stitches. The backside looks pretty much like the front side. You do have to be more careful if your piece is going to be a blanket where both sides will be visible.

[@hipwaterswamp]

[@roseseaborg8135]

sorry but those bumps in the back are very difficult to find :( It looks just as nice doing the front loops
