Love this it looks fancy but clean and clear not frilly at all as fancy crochet stitches often tend to become (especially normal crochet) this is something I could make for my brother or husband without them thinking it looks silly for them.

[@benspencer564]

You are so good at being clear in all of your videos, super helpful for a beginner like myself! Thank you for helping me get started in Tunisian crochet!

[@pillpopperp]

I love how smooth you crochet. Its like visual asmr. Whenever I want to learn a new stich you're one of the first I watch. Great teachings.

Trying to look up the word. Sorry.

[@lourdesvalencia5061]

Your channel is a treasure, I found it, I subscribe, I love the simple, clear and concrete way you explain, thank you very much,

[@mikkigracey8840]

Thanks Toni I said 2024 would be the year I learn something new and this is it!!!! I have several hooks that someone gave me. I will start with a simple scarf and go from there. Thank you so much

[@denny6106]

You make it look so easy. I have been crocheting since I was a teenager but this style is new to me. Thanks for being such a good teacher.

[@pattismith6958]

I’m relearning crochet and knitting, and just learning Tunisian crochet. You’re such a great teacher, I love your videos!

[@susanfletcher3329]

Thank you for your help. God has definitely made you a teacher. You made it so simple...

[@MsLightning26]

I love this pattern! I was able to modify it a bit into a 6 row repeat instead of 3. The first 5 rows are the same but on row 6 I start with the XL front post DC in the 2nd stitch before doing the same 3 stitch 1 XL post DC repeat across. It ends with a front post DC on the 2nd to last stitch and a simple stitch on the last end stitch. The rows end up staggered so it looks like brick instead of a grid. Works perfect with my brick colored yarn!

[@heiroot]

Thank you for sharing

[@melissam7635]

I also love your "staggered bricks" info. Wrote it down along with her video pattern to keep. Thank you for sharing.

[@PissedOffLatinWoman]

Look to see a photo of that ❤

[@karinschaufele4781]

I love your tutorial 😁 your direct you don't over talk 😁 and you don't talk like all of us are beginners at crochet THANK YOU

[@nidiamedeiros1158]

I love ❤️ tunisian crochet 🧶 beautiful thank you so much for your time and sharing your amazing patterns thangs again 😊

[@nancycookboneske9822]

You are a great teacher! Thank you! Love the look of this stitch!

[@chris_losin_it]

Beautiful! Your stitches and tension look so perfectly uniform. thank you for this tutorial. 🙏🏼

[@write2judie]

I really appreciate how clearly you explain and demonstrate stitches. Thank you for yet another great tutorial!

[@cordidoodle]

so very thankful for coming across your easy to follow videos. i have started on the blanket and it is so much fun to do. again thank you!

[@julieannharris3478]

OMG I’m soooooo happy been watching you since I started up crochet again and time an time again I could not even crochet neat tension was gone with the wind wool was splitting it was murder listening and watching you and your reviews the penny dropped I had brought rook load of yarn only to realise it was crap I know they say workman blames his tools but it was true in my case I watched reviews on several people about wool and I just realised cheap isn’t good even to knit so off I went found love crafts on here and decided to order several colours of paint box jesusssss I was whizzing away felt right at home again like driving a brand new car so smooth I’m still learning but it’s now a pleasure as any mistakes now is down to me the wool is working lovely found Tunisian easier even my tension was good so yes I’m one happy ball now loving life lol 😂

[@blkcat93]

So cool! Thank you so much for clear, concise directions and a voice like buttah❤🎉

[@evebrunnernkreef2512]

I'm really a beginner with Tunisian crochet. But you make it so easy to follow. You are a great teacher. Thank you

[@ruthelia564]

Best teacher in crochet. So clear when you speak! The best on the internet :)

[@lisakyle3995]

Thank you for your tutorials, it took me awhile to figure this out, and the smock stitch, you're a great teacher!

[@cagonza7832]

I love watching your tutorials! I have been crocheting since I was 10. I wanted to update my crafting now that I have tube to get back to it, after kids. 😂. I have watched others but yours are very clear and simple to follow. The others make the process of crocheting more difficult, even for beginners, than it needs to be. You can tell the ones that learned from others on KZbin with bad habits. They care on bad habits to set up their own channels. Just to set up their own channel. 🙄... Your channel is the only one I will watch for Tunisian crocheting new stitches. Thanks for your great work!

[@sandraanderson217]

That’s beautiful! Going to have to give this one a go! Thank you!

[@katjaamyx2922]

Thanks for this excellent tutorial. I haven't done any Tunesian crochet, but you made everything so easy to follow. As an aside, I love your nails. So fun!

[@picnicphoto]

Relatively new crocheter (but now retired pro dyer/weaver who started as spinner with own flock and crocheted a bit then, but mostly knit) who has become entranced by both overlay mosaic crochet but also Tunisian (bought the Knitter's Pride interchangeable set from your recommendations--to be sure I really wanted to continue with it)--and after doing test swatches of this stitch (brought here from your Mulberry blanket pattern)--and after doing it thought--hmmmm, why not mosaic, seems possible--and discovered it is. Bought your book also so I'm learning Tunisian but really excited that its possible to do overlay mosaic with it too. Opens up all kinds of possibilities it seems to me. Love your tutes BTW---when I was first crocheting and knitting with my own yarns, I had to learn from books--what a change it is to be able to find a video of a stitch actually being done--not sure if I would have figured out the xtralongFPSC or not from the Mulberry blanket instructions LOL. Thanks for your very well done videos--and the subjects of them.

[@dianecullison8517]

I love this! Tunisian crochet is so much fun to create. Thank you for sharing!!

[@victoriafoggetta3899]

I have been looking for this style of crocheting made easy and you have brought it to me. A huge THANK YOU to you from me. Victoria

[@suestutzle2779]

I would like to thank you very much Toni for introducing me to this wonderful crochet hobby. I looked at your hook reviews, decided that I liked the look of the Denise set. Searched Australia and found a supplier, got an extra long cable for when I make blankets and away I went. It's summer here now and too hot for crocheting blankets and besides wool makes my hands sweat so I bought some cotton yarn and have been making wash cloths for Christmas presents. I made a couple using the pinwheel two coloured pattern, two using another of your patterns and now I am on to the block stitch. I just love it am so happy that you have taught me. I had seen this before but you are by far the best teacher. I have learnt so much from you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@cynthiaperry7404]

The hardest part of this easy but effective stitch is remembering to not work the last 2 stitches when changing color. I love the look of this stitch.Thank you Toni for presenting this stitch and teaching it so well. Now, if I can just remember not to work the last 2 stitches before a color change!

[@mystystorm1496]

You are a fantastic instructor!! I was taught tunisian many years ago. But forgot the end stitch. You have shown me the correct way very easily PLUS a new way to tunisian. I'm finishing a project basic tunisian now but next project will be various tunisian stitches blanket. You have made the new stitches very easy for me to learn. Thank you so much.

[@p.d.2790]

I am so happy I found you. I have always loved the Tunisian crochet, but it never seems to work out well when I do it. Until you! Thanks for such great videos, clear instructions and you have a soothing voice, so it’s pleasant to listen to you while I learn. I’m elated to work on new projects in an area I’ve dreamed of for a long time! Keep up the amazing work.

[@julieannharris3478]

Yes agree with comment below so calming and yes looks so easy I’ve been watching and trying for last 3 days (not this pattern) but kept failing went back to it today and yes just off I went couldn’t believe myself love to watch her she is great

[@tamaradickason5717]

I found this as part of your holiday sampler 2020. I made the entire blanket in less than a month and learned a few things about myself. Now I have several of the stitch videos on my watch list to.make scarves this fall. This stitch is becoming a pumpkin theme with green borders and orange in the squares. It is turning out great. Thank you so much for these easy to follow videos!

[@natpoat935]

Thank you so much! You explain all the stitches so well, you are brilliant!!!

[@hollyw378]

Thank you, Toni! You are an incredible teacher!

[@chiquioleary7372]

Thank you for this tutorial. I have watched so many of the ones you post. Can you also show how the back looks? I like the back of my work to look as well as the front, especially on scarves.

[@erikagholston6610]

Your explanations make it easy to follow along.

[@tomijeanhamilton7499]

I love your instructions, they are clear and easy to follow. Keep it up.

[@binhvu3825]

Thank you for teaching us this stitch

[@nryane]

Beautifully done! I learned how to do mosaic crochet. This block is similar. Thank you.

[@eltorres8647]

I am DEFINITELY trying this out ! Thank you 😊

[@dgroshon1691]

I love watching you. You explain so well. I want to try this one next month.

[@anitadeclerck6000]

I love everything you do.

[@jaxoeno]

I love your work! Made the block stitch hat pattern of yours last winter and made 4 more this winter. They're awesome and so are your designs! ❤👍

[@joann5157]

What a beautiful pattern! Thank you for this video!!

[@jerilynboos8889]

You are an excellent teacher

[@debiogle3798]

Being a crochet fanatic for years and years. I thought I always had my tension right., but with this Tunisian stitch, every time you have to reword your tension, but I love the challenge. Could you also step by step walk us through a pattern, as in a shawl or sweater?

[@lisalane2773]

Okay Toni you are awesome lady... I can’t wait to try this stitch still waiting for my yarn 🧶 to come in the mail🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@coronagirl1016]

I love this you make it look so easy I can't wait to try

[@saraburke4795]

Brilliant Toni!

[@sondramcdermott5906]

Your video is great! Going to drop this stitch!

[@lcpoole54]

Lovely pattern. I love your videos

[@zewdihabte970]

Wow beautiful and it's easier than it looks, thanks for sharing💖

[@crochet937]

I enjoy your videos so much!

[@lilnelson4597]

Thank you for this beautiful stitch tutorial. You always explain stitches wonderfully. If I were to make a baby blanket, it looks like I may need twice as much of the square fill yarn as I need of the TS front post stitch. Is that accurate? 😊

[@BreakingFreeOffGrid]

Amazing! I have some Tunisian hooks on the way! Can’t wait to start an Afghan 😃

[@jctrumb]

This is awesome. Thank you for the amazing crystal clear instructions.

[@kaymarl650]

OMG I have only returned to crochet after 30 years and I am totally addicted so many things I want to make and now I made the mistake of watching this video and want to try it, decisions, decisions, decisions 😳😂

[@samacoify]

You know what this is going to be cute as a blanket or asa scarf 🧣 or as a pillow sheet

[@stitchymcfloss225]

Thank you. You make it look so easy. Love your work. :)

[@itonda1234]

Thank you so much for sharing, it's beautiful. God bless you.

[@stevegary2297]

Excellent instructions.

[@enzerrap]

Thank you Toni

[@jerseymtqa]

Hi Toni, Thanks so much for this great video. Your way of teaching is so clear, you’re my favorite. I have a question about the block stitch. I’d like to make bigger squares, basically one equaling what four of the done block stitches is. I was wondering if this might work: if I just did the extended bar Stitch after the two rows but without the whole row, then two more of the other color, then the whole row in second color with more extended bat stitches. I hope this makes sense. I’m thinking I’ll have to carry along the yarn though, and that might cause a problem. Thanks for any input you might have.

[@misclaudiarene6752]

wow.. you made that look easy....

[@caitlinchristopher2429]

Your work is so beautiful!!!!

[@dmgdenise]

Excellent teacher! I could follow everything you were doing! Thank you! You have a new subscriber!

[@debbiedial]

Thank you so much for your Tunisian hook recommendations. I got the clover bamboo set! Can’t wait to use them

[@mariadoceuferreiralopes4488]

Ponto fantástico e fácil de fazer obrigada por partilhar ❤

[@michellesmith4591]

I am working on a blanket woth RH super saver in white and RH super saver ombre in deep teal and it looks beautiful

[@laurabrooks3076]

I think when you do the .long bar stitch( It helps to have two colors .., because it is easier to find the row (below) to do the bar stitch:) thank you!!!!👍🏻🍀💕🙏🏻

[@dannamurray9678]

I love this. I have never seen this before.

[@rajulshah768]

I would like to learn Tunisian cable and leaf stitches. I can send you pics of a blanket that I made years ago. I have since forgotten these stitches. Thanks for this video🙏🏾🙏🏾👌👌

[@lil.ikuraa]

I love your tutorials!! I’d like to try making a cover for the part of my bed frame that I always hit my knee on. LOL! How might I go about changing the (blue) color throughout the pattern?

[@brbrpropst]

I Love this!!! Beautiful!

[@chargreene1]

Very informative and helpful

[@judyhoffman1359]

This is so pretty! Thanks

[@donnaney8009]

You are a great teacher and this is a beautiful stitch. I'm new to Tunisian crochet (just a couple of days) and love it. I did a sample the size you did and it looks good except for a couple of tension mishaps but the back where the color change is is not appealing. What can I do to fix this as I want to make a throw with this stitch to give away to someone?

[@SharonWilde-us9pq]

Thanks!

[@TLYarnCrafts]

Thanks so much for the tip :-)

[@CreationsbyJax]

Love this!! Thank you 🤩

[@gaylefriddle1907]

Is it normal to curl up from the bottom?

[@MrKram1969]

Simply put YES it does

[@annathorpe1228]

I showed the pattern to my friend and she likes it now she wants me to make a scarf for her and it's coming out pretty good and I thank you very much. And my husband said it look good and he likes it too.

[@jopetrosian7366]

You are so clever, l love it 😊
