Wow!!!tks a lot

[@_alex3985]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate that she explains everything you need to know, making it easier for a beginner like me. I now have an easier way to make my papa a bracelet. Thank you! Also, how do you make the end where it’s not a loop?

[@alyssacrown]

I’m about to stay awake all night and make myself a bath mat with this stitch! LOL! Thank you for the great tutorial!

[@amandaahlers2659]

Great idea.

[@elfrog98]

Great idea, how did it go?

[@Crafty3627]

A bath mat would be a perfect project for this stitch. It will be nice and thick and absorbent. You have inspired me.

[@chompers11]

Well???

[@biancaturner725]

Great idea!!!!!

[@saradahl154]

Your teaching is the best I have yet encountered. I watch and learn from a lot of people on You Tube, and yours is the easiest to understand. Thank you for not playing weird and annoying background music and having such a precise manner of explanation. Good job.

[@yoavedelist6173]

I *love* the fact you tell at the start of each stitch what the fabric will be like. So helpful.

[@egoreknits]

My grandma did smocking. She made thousands of smocked dresses. Even thought she is gone, I still have a few of her hand smocked dresses.

[@cherylmatthew4980]

You do the best tutorial! I can actually do the stitches after watching your video

[@michelleburton9441]

Toni, thank you for being so thorough from start to finish and showing everything from all angles! Truly the best instruction I've ever found and content!

[@MxDomestic]

Seriously I could just listen to you for hours talking about how much you love Tunisian crochet. Thanks for the awesome tutorial and for your love of the craft.

[@daniemauch7424]

I've been calling the way you yarn bottom to top, " yarn under" just because it makes more sense in my head, but I'm addicted! LOVE this pattern, reminds me of chain mail!

[@CassieSmart365]

Saving this video to make my husband a new pillow to take with him when he travels with his unit in the military. I made him a blanket and pillow that matched when we first started dating. THIS IS SO GORGEOUS! And I can’t wait for him to see it!

[@rrrnay68]

I was just noodling through videos, curious about Tunisian crochet, even without knowing anything about it, I have to say your video is really thorough and easy to follow!

[@hannahbrockow]

Thank you for your lessons! I've been curious about it for years and only in picking up a Tunisian hook out of my mom's stash three years after she passed have I discovered this wonderful yarn art. Your tutorials are wonderful and you really bring it to life with your knowledge and clear explanations!

[@evanalparone8392]

Wow! So great to discover you on youtube. I am loving your thorough and easy to understand videos and your instructional style. You rock!! Thank you!!!

[@RavenStealstheNight]

You are so wonderful to watch. And what a happy upbeat smile. It's a joy to watch. Thanks so much😊

[@salxandra]

I am so thrilled to have found your KZbin channel. It is a delight to see a tutorial done by a person who is not afraid of math or logic. You provide the knowledge that the learner needs to design his/her own projects.

[@kerimarion9537]

I just love how your nail polish matches your yarn.

[@laurievanhorne4880]

Such a beautiful pattern! You presented it so clearly that it doesn't seem as intimidating as it looks. Thank you!

[@picturetheday]

I love the way you teach not only the how but the why and reason for everything in the pattern. I love the ahhha moments when the little light in my brain comes on.

[@kellyjohnson107]

Where has this been my whole life?!?!! This stitch!! Thank you!!

[@KosmeticKritter]

I love this. It looks a lot like a honeycomb brioche stitch in knitting. That's one of my favorites because it's so dimensional and squishy soft too.

[@lindcobbs4615]

This so gorgeous! I have always been interested in Tunisian crocheting. This is on my to do crochet list.

[@Ruhevoll1]

With your smile and charisma, I think everyone wanna give a try to this technique. Bravo! ❤️

[@CFSORENSEN]

You truly are the best teacher. I’m so glad I found your channel. Thank you for sharing your skills and insights.

[@luisak68]

Huh, I didnt know there were different ways to yarn over. And I never realized it made a difference. You really do learn something new every day. Ive been crocheting/knitting since I was 7, thanks to sister Celestine & Im 51 now.

[@simplesmeerkat39]

Omg I love this! Im a knitter who can crochet ok. Now I have discovered this! Thank you x

[@amydavis4945]

Holy Toledo, I'm a new Sub. This was an amazing tutorial. Extremely easy to see what you are doing because you are using a large hook, bulky yarn, going slow AND explaining/pointing to which exact loop/stitch to work into. This is the most detailed tutorial I've ever seen! So glad I found your channel. Thank you for your time and instruction!

[@rebanana12]

Ditto, I was going to say almost the same thing!

[@karinburger6876]

I've used the Tunisian crochet for many many years, but never found a pattern apart from the base stitch. Thank you for this! :-)

[@teresaestrade2371]

I've just finished my first smock stitch pillow. Thank you so much. You've made me fall in love with this stitch. I'll try you new project for sure!

[@chriscarroll5134]

I am just now getting into crochet..I’ve been to every corner of KZbin and I’m so glad I found your channel! You explain things so well and seeing all your work really motivates me to get better at the craft!

[@sharonfrench1087]

Thank you for these very clear instructions. This is indeed a beautiful stitch. This also looks like very nice yarn, it's a beautiful color and I love the matching nail polishl

[@beagie666]

wow unreal talent!!! I was a knitter as a kid and am now trying to start crocheting as an adult. your vids are so comforting and helpful hehe

[@maggied8468]

I love how your nail varnish matches your wool colour. You've made a excellent video. I've never done Tunisian crochet before. Thank you for this clear demonstration.

[@endersmith162]

I kept saying "I love her nails" throughout the video! So perfectly explained, I found my new favorite source for crochet tutorials!

Beautiful stitch! Your instruction is so clear! Thanks so much!

[@StrawFamilyFarm]

Tunisian is the thickest fabric made with yarn. Sweaters are so awesome as they are so warm .... good to see I am not the only one still doing it

[@loveapplecrafts]

I must add a long overdue thank you to the chorus of people who love your videos. You taught me the beautiful art of Tunisian crochet, with your videos that are amazing and clear and so pleasant to watch and listen to. You have inspired me to create all sorts of crazy circular and oval projects, all using textured stitches like smock and honeycomb that I learned from you. Thank you!! You have revived this beautiful technique and it inspires everything I do!

[@lyndaofiowa718]

Oh , l love how clearly you present this stitch. Thank you so much !

[@ammarashahid4281]

You are such a pleasant personality.

Thank you so much for this video! Very clearly presented and well explained - you're a great teacher! The stitch is beautiful!

[@annieoannie]

You are a great teacher. I love the way you present the details and explanations for the reason the final textile is the way it is! Thanks for your hard work.

[@janecotton4149]

Thank you for helping me to understand that Tunisian crochet isn't a foreign language! Can't wait for my hooks to arrive... So good of Santa to leave me money in my stocking! Looking forward to joining you again. Dotty x

[@lissanne9769]

This is a stunning tutorial! Thank you for your very careful instructions. WOW!

[@sandrac9503]

I’ve tried this based on written instructions and I just couldn’t get it but your video clears it up. Thank you!!!

[@thundercat6709]

I love the look of this stitch. Can't wait to try it this weekend. Thank you for the easy-to-follow tutorial.

[@KimAtkins60]

I can't believe that I've found this! When I was 10 years old, back in 1970, I first learned to crochet the regular Tunisian stitch though I didn't know it was called that, and then a few years later when I learned the granny square, or basically single and double crochet, I never looked back and forgot about doing this! Today I was looking for something totally different and saw your pattern and as you started it, I'm like... wait a minute... I know this! I am thankful it was you to bring it back into my life! And this smock version is the different stitch I was hoping for. Thank you!!!! You're awesome!

[@larryg6221]

This woman is a very good teacher and she makes me happy.

[@gwenda2808]

Wait, what? My mind is blown. It's been a while since I've crocheted anything and I've been working on a simple blanket. I didn't even know you could crochet keeping so many loops on one hook, knitting style. Now I'm going to have to go and watch the beginner tutorial on this method. I just found your channel and now I'm watching videos instead of going to sleep. lol.

[@rubbzz]

You are an EXCELLENT instructor. I can't wait to try this stitch!

[@robertagonzales888]

I love tunisian crochet and I like learning new stitches great video thanks

I love your videos! You're one of the most comprehensible KZbinrs out there doing tunisian tutorials. Not to mention your yarn colors and matching nail polish are awesome!

[@saozita50]

I have never come across someone that explains things so well as you. Beautifully done. I love Tunisian crochet, never done this stitch. But how you explained it will be so easy to accomplish this. Thank you do much, you are amazing. ❣

[@mctron22rd]

You have so much patience and talent! I am so intimadated by this type of crochet! Just beautiful!!!

What a great tutorial! You make it look so easy, and I love how your nails match the fabric! You're the best! Thank you!

Thank you for some of the best articulation in a tutorial that i’ve ever seen and heard. I really appreciate that you explain the ‘theory’ or reasons why we stitch the way we do with the visual spatials!

OMIGOSH! I normally don't comment but this tutorial is AMAZING!! Thank you Toni for the help.

[@marionleslie1895]

Thank you so much for sharing your Tunisian tutorials. I am inspired to try. I've sent for hooks but will start practising with small swatches and a regular hook. Best wishes from the UK

[@catrinahenson9744]

Loving the pattern that this stitch creates. I can't wait to try it. Thank you for a great video!

[@genevievesosnowski9015]

Thank you very much, I love to learn new patterns; just had a little difficulty at the end of the rows. This pattern is beautiful, don't care for the left side. I guess the extra thickness on the reverse side is useful for many projects; also need to practice to gain a little speed. You're a great teacher, thanks again.

[@rd4715]

Wonderful teacher. Getting back into Tunisian crochet after 45 years and your videos are so very descriptive. Thank you.

[@deedeebeads]

Ive been watching over and over just to get it right . Great instruction in this smock stitch love the matching nails too

[@DebWHNP]

I am so happy to have found your tutorials! You are a natural born teacher. I have wanted to learn Tunisian crochet and bought several books, but quickly got lost. Thank you so much! I can't wait for my hooks to come in!

[@PeterLitster]

I love the comforting way you explain the stitch. Could you possibly do more? Perhaps the Honeycomb stitch? I love the TSS, but I haven't really branched out to other Tunisian stitches.

[@ksmall2716]

Thank you Toni for the video. I love this stitch plus after watching you review for the Denise Interchangable hooks I purchased them for myself. I LOVE THEM!!!

[@crochetbabe829]

I'm familiar with the tunsian stitch but because of the curl very disencouraged ... Not anymore! I will be collecting all of things to get started on my pillows, Thanks to you! What a unique stitch and pattern. TFS

[@maryreyes3147]

Toni, I just started crocheting a few years ago after about…. Over 30 years😵‍💫. I wanted to find a way to look more like knit fabric and you’ve nailed it! With your help, I’ve made beautiful blankets for my grandbabies and a few other things. This particular stitch is beautiful, a bit challenging for my hands but I’m plowing through cuz I can’t wait to see it on a pillow. Thanks so much for helping us all with your detailed tutorials!

[@petraperez1945]

It’s very pretty sample for a sweater! Thank you for sharing the tutorial.

[@kristab4154]

You are seriously THE BEST teacher, I got it immediately with your instructions (and I'm a true beginner...but I find Tunisian crochet easier than traditional crochet...say what!?) THANK YOU for your tutorials, they're awesome, you're awesome, and you truly do make this 1,000 times easier. Believe me, I've watched a ton of tutorials. Yours are the easiest and smoothest to follow!

[@sherryshelton8284]

Your nail polish makes it easy to find, again, the video if I need to go back and review things. Your explanation of where to place the hook...is so good. I've seen many Tunisian crochet videos...yours is the best. Your voice/nice. Thank you for making your video~!
