I'm always struck by how thorough your instructions are. I'm so grateful you share your gifts with us -- your teaching ability, your crochet expertise, and your design talent.

[@kj-sf4md]

Thank you. Recently discovered Tunisian crochet. And am LOVING it. Can't seem th get enough. Am traditionally a knitter.

[@Quiltie233]

Hi Toni!! I got my book today!!! Yay!!!

[@TLYarnCrafts]

Woo hoo! Hope you like it 🙌🏾😁

[@pufferpuffer4434]

Hi, I remember you from “A’s Knit& Croc Today” on PBS.(which they stopped carrying here in town🤨) I rediscovered you tonight when your Tunisian stitch Channel popped up. I remember you from A’s because #1 : you are clear and well spoken throughout your demonstrations. ( 💐🎉oh for heaven sake! No heavy breathers, no miniMouse voice, no weird accent, no dreamy attitude, No Kidding= right to the depth of the project) I remember you and hope you have escaped the stifling grasp of that A’s company and have become independent! I’m so happy for you! I always knew you would be a big hit if you got away from that A! I see you even have a book now on Tunisian, I hope it’s only your first! Your enthusiasm will carry you much farther than anything else, trust this anonymous voice coming thru the wires when it tell you that! I have been a crocheted for 40 years & got bored about 10 years ago & forced myself to learn to knit. 😳I am still not secure in the knitting world, but like cause it’s light weight & uses less yarn. After looking thru your listing on YT here, I’m ready to step back into Tunisian to get away from Knitting for a while...I’m so glad I found you. I may even try experimenting with Tunisian & knitting to see how they work together. If there are any more lacy types of Tunisian out there, I appreciate a tutorial on it too. Looking forward to seeing your smiling face again soon as soon as I attack my stash for fresh yarn to play with. Benita💐🙋🏼‍♀️🥳 P.S. May The Good Lord allow you to become filthy rich & outrageously happy in all of you endeavors! 🐲💐♥️🍀

[@donnasr1799]

Love this, Toni. I am trying to get more experience with this type of crochet. Thank you for sharing.

[@estrelacosta5817]

This chevron is beautiful, I’ve made one with double crochet but this one in Tunisian stitch is the one I will do for sure, gorgeous 🥰

[@amorimpacheco]

Best teacher ever! You inspire me not only to expand my tunisian skills but also to learn how to teach crochet, tunisian and knit as well, which is my goal. As I know how adorable is to practice these craft techniques, I'm always trying to bring more and more people to this wonderful craft community. Thank you for simply existing, Toni!

[@audrey5432]

This looks like a perfect project to begin. Your step by step explanation is amazing!

[@marycunningham6074]

I love your bubbly attitude, and watch your video's whenever they come up. Plus, It is usually always something that interests me, so thank you.

[@annfield7356]

Your instructions are so clear. I struggle with using bamboo needles and am waiting for the metal needles you reviewed in a previous video Thank you

[@carolynr5306]

Oh, wow! Was looking for a simple Tunisian crochet pattern (I’m new to Tunisian) for a very special friend and you put this Chevron up,I love it! Gonna give it a try. Thank you❤

[@gregoryvozar6236]

Thank you Toni… again you work a bit of magic with the most economical means. I think the knit stitches at the crests and troughs absolutely make this pattern. They give it a neat, orderly look, especially when using multi-coloured yarn!

[@CrochetWithTiffany]

This is BEAUTIFUL!!!! Definitely inspires me to give Tunisian a try. 😊❤️🧶

[@heidimasters953]

You have the Best tutorials! Thank you 😊

[@gpipito]

Thank you Toni for be so simple explaining this stitch you are so good teacher

[@tiffanyjack6095]

Love this Toni! I am such a visual learner. So even though I know the stitches, and I know the lingo, sometimes, I can't seem to wrap my head around it until I try to read the pattern out loud (I have to get my boys to pretend to like yarn to get them to listen to me) to someone or someone does a physical demo like you just did. So now, when I go to try this again, I can think back to your tutorial and I'll remember to trust the process, it really does work out! Lol

[@EmsIsFab]

Chevron was the ONLY stitch I struggled with from your book so SEEING it done makes the written instructions and photos make so much more sense, ahha! I dont know why I struggled with it so much :-P

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

Excellent tutorial, Toni! The instructions are so concise and there are no questions as to where to find the hard-to-see yarnovers. Thank you/

[@erisisthename]

I’m so excited to try this pattern! You’re a wizard, Toni. Thanks for another clear, concise tutorial.

[@Lulu4Him]

I'm a beginner, but this seems above my head. I'll try it later when I learn more about crochet. You are a GREAT teacher so, I'm looking forward to learning from you in the near future. Thank you.

[@JoriBates]

Excellent tutorial! So easy to follow along!

[@stephaniespencer9129]

That's Beautiful 😍 this is why I love your channel, you're natural born teacher ❤

[@barbararosselot2025]

This is really a fun pattern! I’m making it with four colors of Hobbii’s Cookie yarn. I’m loving it sooo much! Thank you, Toni, for this beautiful pattern.

[@openorwap5412]

Thank you so much for your videos! I've only been doing Tunisian knitting for a couple of weeks, and your tutorials have been a huge help! I'm still struggling to get my left-side stitches straight and I'm now using a marker to hold the last stitch so it's easier to find. Hopefully with practice I'll soon be laughing at why I found it so hard 🙄🤭 I've even roped my 9 year old niece into practicing with me! Sending love and thanks from sunny old England - Natalie x 🥰

[@starshipcraftroom3369]

The pacing on your tutorials is so good! It's always so easy to follow you.

[@briantuma1502]

I’m mostly a knitter but I’ve really fallen in love with Tunisian. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@SIM101ism]

Excellent tutorial. Couldn't be clearer. Many thanks 🌈🌞

[@phillipmarsh4886]

Toni!!!! I love this. You're such a great teacher! I bet this would make a great pattern for winter scarf!!!!! Thank you

[@SuzanneWho]

I love this pattern and the blanket is gorgeous! Toni: re the Landscapes Breeze. I went to Lion Brand site and it is out of stock, BUT it has a section to be notified when it comes back in stock. If a lot of folks ask for this and to be notified, maybe it will let them know there’s interest in it? It really is annoying when really unique yarns are put out for a limited time. I think they’re missing out on sales. ❤️😎

[@alexidevereaux5274]

Thank you thank you thank you! You've reignited my love for Tunisian crochet. Also, it feels very good to know I'm not alone in my yarn snobbiness. Have an awesome day!

[@tl4214]

So generous of you to create this tutorial when the midst of cardboard boxes and tape are about! Love the tutorial!! May the move go well!!

[@vaec58]

This is great!

[@sbeverlee]

I ordered the Clover Takumi Interchangeable Tunisian hook set and should receive it tomorrow, I am not crazy about my straight ones. I am loving all your Tunisian stitch tutorials, they are really easy to follow.

[@haveagojo-joanne]

After making two row simple stitch baby blankets this is the next step for me. Thankyou. I love it.

[@crochetwracarolyn4741]

This pattern is just lovely. Thanks for sharing it with us, Toni.

[@jctrumb]

This is a beautiful stitch. Thank you for such a quality tutorial. So wonderful to learn with you.

[@arlindajones-abekasis5665]

Thanks Toni, I love your videos because they make everything clear!!!! 😍

[@vanessastyles953]

Totally AWESOME! I love this tutorial. 🎉😊🎉. So informative, very clear, friendly and easy to follow. Thank you x 👍😃💝

[@LM-js4dn]

This texture works perfectly for a project I was struggling to plan. Trying to make a ren faire pouch/satchel that’s easy to crochet but has some interest/detail.

[@edwyna7]

Toni, this is a great video. I have wanted to learn Tunisian Chevrons for a while, and this video was very easy to follow. I shall recommend this Channel to my Crochet Students. I found yours the easiest pattern to follow, and it seems to use less yarn doing those yarn overs rather than the Tunisian Full Stitch to increase. I also like those TKS in the centre of the Chevrons. It really defines and makes the points and troughs stand out. Thanks again for your time and for sharing...✨

[@anneito2680]

This is wonderful! Thank you so much for doing this tutorial! After purchasing the Bahama blanket pattern I realized that I did know how to do a Tunisian knit stitch. Your tutorial will help me make this blanket with ease. Thank you, Toni!

[@chillin2150]

I've never done Tunisian crochet but this blanket is beautiful!! Luv the yarn choice!! Might have to be brave and give it a try!! Ty Toni!

[@MelHLind3373]

I loved that my notification for this popped up while I was making my first TL Patterns! Can’t wait to make my Sedona Sweater!

[@star_athena]

As soon as this big granny is off the hook the Bahama Blanket is on! Can’t wait! 🤍🤍🤍

[@sprboston]

What great instructions. Thank you

[@luckysuzful]

I always love your tutorials, Toni! I'm waiting for my yarn order to arrive so I can start this beautiful blanket. I feel like I'm getting addicted to Tunisian crochet! Thanks for sharing all your wonderful patterns! So pretty!

[@c.c.scrochet5693]

Thank your Toni you really made want to try tunisian stitches

[@DrPheigth]

I am sooooo excited about this pattern~!! I've already printed off your pattern. YEAH~!

[@LindaIBrown]

Boy you just don’t know how difficult for me to get this right that finally I used markers for peaks and valleys for your shawl. I finally got it after a gazillion start overs 😂

[@Crochetcosas]

Thanks Toni! I love your tutorials, although I don't speak English too much. I can understand your beautiful and complete teachings. 🧶🌸🌸

💕 can’t wait to start this project!

[@CreationsbyJax]

Thank you so much Toni!!!!!

[@betsstanford]

When I saw your new years temperature blanket (2023), I had to search out how to do that gorgeous chevron that you're using. Is the pattern a multiple of 14 +1 repeat for sizing the width? @TLYarnCrafts I love the idea of using up fingering weight stash for a shawl or lapghan in this stitch. Your teaching is so amazing and simplifies things so well. Thank you!!!?

[@faithgwa]

Looks like the yarn is back. Saw it at Michaels.

[@anneito98]

Hi Toni! I have begun working on this blanket pattern and I’m really enjoying the color changes. However, I’m having trouble with the join when changing from yarn A to yarn B etc. Could you (pretty please) make a video to show how you smoothly change from one yarn ball to the next? I would love, love, love it if you did. I’ll even buy you a cup of coffee!☕️☕️

[@mooninthesky737]

Good work thank you💐

[@Jean06460]

Thank you so much for your wonderful how to Tunisian crochet videos and for your excellent book! Do you, by any chance, have a video on how to read a crochet chart? I find it helpful to use your book and videos together to learn this beautiful craft!!!

[@kathymazzola1200]

Love it, thank you

[@Kate-qn7wy]

I’m so bummed that yarn is all out. I hope they bring it back because I love the look of your blanket! I’m excited to try this either way thank you for this amazing tutorial!

Same :(. I’ve tried a couple of other options for the blanket and they just don’t work as well.

Sure thing - this is Foggy Aran from Kenyarn ☺️

This is more fast then regular crochet , I like Tunisian more 😮😂

[@taylork2874]

Love!! But how do I change colors for a temperature blanket?

[@gailwatson8423]

Toni. Is it possible to do this with the Tunisian KNIT stitch. I love the look of a knit …but I don’t like to Knit. I have and love your book. Thanks Gail

[@blkcat93]

Omg I must be the lamest person. I've redone this stitch no less than 6 times and still can't seem to get it. I e d up with random Xtra stitches or missing stitches. Going to try one. More. Time. 😢

[@livc1981]

It doesn't matter how many tries it takes you, you'll get it. 😊 Be patient with yourself 💖

[@a_mini_nuke]

I feel you, I had to mark every 14th stitch and count twice where should I put the knit stitches to finally get the first row right, but at the third attempt I made it

[@aussierose6349]

You got this practice makes perfect

[@aamna4431]

🤩 amazing beautiful lady I’m learning crochet 🧶 it’s totally amazing 🤩

[@denises9455]

Love this pattern, I have a problem, I playing with a knitpicks plastic Tunisian hook, now my ring finger is killing me, do think it the plastic or the position of my hands. I usually use wood … I love of all your stuff. I don’t want give up.thanks for any help

[@Madeforyouinma11]

I LOVE this! Could this be done in panels? If so, how could I attach them to make it blend well? Thank you!

[@nibletsews]

first, love your nails!! I have a question - why use the full knit stitches at the peaks and valleys instead of just a tss? is that just to give it the look of chains going up the centers? I was a knitter first, so it reminds me of the way stitches look when you knit them.

[@alisongomes684]

Beautiful and clean instructions. I going to give this a try I’m left handed so let’s see how this goes. Maybe you could make some more beginners videos 😀

[@joymcvey8331]

Thank you for this! I am loving Tunisian and making this pattern for my daughter. Could you tell us what yarn you used in the thumbnail (the multicolored yarn)?

[@ryanbloom3135]

Lovely

[@kimblackketter3115]

Can I do this with chunky? I have a bunch that I think would look pretty. Which size hook would you recommend?

[@monikastegmaier5182]

Thank you Toni for this wonderfull stitch pattern. I would like to end my project with a straight top edge. Is there a possibility to do so? Thank you in advance for your kind answer. Greetings from Germany!

[@heidicook2395]

Hi Toni, thank you for this video. I do have a challenge I'm hoping you can help me with. I'm blind and I haven't found an easy way to find the back loop/bump by touch so I just go through one of the legs of the "V" on front. Do you have any suggestions on how to find the back bump without using sight? I was sighted when I first learned to crochet, knit, and Tunisian. I was never taught about going into the back bump. That seems to have become a popular instruction just in the last few years. I know using the back bump makes a much nicer edge. I'm hoping you will be able to help me figure out how to find the back bump by feel. Thanks for your help Toni!

[@DrPheigth]

Could you do a variation of this exact stitch? I'd like to do it in strips, so I can use a different colorway going up, on each "chev" or V. So like the Tunisian Ten-Stitch, were you attach at the side to the previous round, do a V and attach to the previous column of V next to is. I suck at getting the count right, so I'd love it if you could do something like that.

[@Omaknitta]

Can this be done with the knit stitch in every stitch?
