Here are three easy tips to avoid curling in Tunisian Crochet!

[@divinegracecreations]

Hi! I can't BELIEVE you're teaching this NOW! Just 2 days ago I was practicing how to avoid the curling in Tunisian Crochet and it wasn't working out. I tried Google and went searching for the solution. THEN YOUR NOTIFICATION CAME IN THIS EVENING! Wonderful Naztazia! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 😘

[@naztazia]

Glad the video could help!

[@Pammy_Yolo]

I know right?! But I don't have the proper hooks to do this.

[@user-te8cs9mh7l]

I have tried Tunisian in the past. I love the simple stitch as well as this full stitch, but could not stand the curl no matter how many hook sizes I increased. Now your tip of doing a row of single crochet before jumping in seems like a no brainer. Wish I would have known this before. I will definitely try again. Thank you.

[@bexaidacandelaria5128]

Hi!, Oh so glad I saw you advertised on the google info page Your clarity of voice an explanation impresses me I love it I’m a retired teacher some little picky about that I don’t criticize but I do like to complement thank you ever so much for being such a clear instructor I just subscribed I just found you I’m keeping you one question are there ways to make Tunisian crochet sweaters I saw it a long time ago and I lost every bit of information when my phone went bonkers and we had to clear it out and I don’t have the instructions anymore if you do I’ll come back to your site and maybe you can let me know you’ve got so many people and I’m brand new so I don’t know if you’ll be able to answer me but I saw it and it was deleted 😿from Mail and it had one version had a flap down color that wasn’t too big and another one looks like a male version of a Chanel sweater very simple and style Paso classic in good taste and I’ve tried to make my own pattern but I had trouble with my eyes occasionally so I think a well written pattern for me would do better well thank you very much and I appreciate what I’ve seen so far thank you for my new Crochet page PS I personally love Tunisian Crochet it seems to me to be between knitting and crochet simply in it’s stitch beauty Thank you again 😌

Can you do a video on how to inc and dec with this stitch? Or is it just like the simple stitch?

[@marshamercer876]

[@naztazia]

Thanks 🤗

[@sineadcor1940]

Thank you for all the hard work you put in to make your videos. It's much appreciated. You are so easy to follow. I'm new to Tunisian crochet I am following all of the steps but mine is still curling any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong. Thanks in advance for any help. From Ireland

[@naztazia]

Thank you! Most of the time it's due to either the yarn and hook not being optimal with each other, or, you need to draw up your loops much higher than you think you should. Maybe try a larger hook with the yarn you are using. Some stitches just naturally have a curl to them, in which case a few rows of a single crochet border around the edging helps flatten them down. The other thing is you can "block" your work. I have a video on that too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/boPQlJalepeeb8k

[@sineadcor1940]

@@naztazia thank you so much for your help I'll keep trying with a few of your tips 🤞🤞

[@maggieguerrero7260]

This something I’ve wanting to learn. Looks easy😊 any recommendations what hook I need for this pattern & the yarn you used. Thank you!

[@naztazia]

With Tunisian crochet, I generally opt for a bit of a larger hook than suggested. If you get any worsted weight "regular" yarn in the stores, usually the suggested hook size on the label is something like an I 5.5 mm or J 6 mm hook. It probably would be a good idea to bump that up to a K 6.5 mm hook instead, since Tunisian crochet can curl if the hook is too small and the stitches too tight.

[@sshaw4429]

What yarn is that? Please always add a link to yarn so we can purchase it. Beautiful yarn!

[@maylim7632]

Hi! This is my very first Tunisian crotchet attempt and I love your pattern! However, how do I bind the ending with the normal single crotchet? I’m making a scarf.

[@naztazia]

That's up to you and the look you are going for. If you started with a regular single crochet row, then yes, i would put a single crochet edging along the top to match the bottom edge. However if you started with Tunisian immediately with no sc row, then to bind off the top you can do loose slip stitches across as your final row

[@lisabiased7112]

i wish this was the first video i watched before i started

[@justdi3347]

Hi Donna! Thank you for this information. I do have a question, if you are making squares and the pattern calls to do one sc around the entire square (this might be depending on where the end is or unless you cute off then put the border on), would you have to do that sc around the beginning sc row? I hope that makes sense and is not a dumb question. Thank you!

[@naztazia]

Hi! I generally would put a SC around the 3 sides that don't already have one (and to match the first row, technically you would be putting the SC around facing the "back" or "wrong" side). Then I'd flip the piece around to the correct front side and put a row of single crochet around the entire 4 sides to suffice the pattern's requirement.

[@theartofcrochetbychandra3079]

💞💞💞💞 I need to get this hook🤔😂😂😂😂

[@user-rf3mk2tq6j]

Can you please do a video on how to end it, since it does start with the thick band. Thank I’m almost done with mine and it’s turning out so pretty

[@naztazia]

I usually end it the way most Tunisian stitches are ended. I have a beginner Tunisian tutorial on my channel if you search for Naztazia Beginner Tunisian.

[@salcutino9911]

How many loops can you fit on that hook?? Can you make our twin size Afghan?

[@BlutosBabyG]

Hi! Big fan with a question. How do we make an afghan out of Tunisian stick if it’s only 20 stitches long? Thanks in advance.

[@naztazia]

You'll want to use an extended Tunisian crochet hook. I explain about them in my guide to crochet hook video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZS7g4OLl7tpiNE

[@elisabethdow7048]

Can I use this same long hook for a blanket with 150 beginning chain?

[@Bruiser89]

How many chain would you need for a baby blanket?

[@janetshaffer423]

Is there somewhere you show step-by-step how to do the foundation row?

[@marcydoyle9279]

Hello Naztazia, Do you have. Video on how to manage a large number of stitches for instance; making a large rug? Is it the same process as working in the round where you pull through a certain number of stitches, then turn the work and repeat please? I should probably give it a try myself as it is only a hook and a piece of yarn, no shame in undoing the work and starting again, but there’s no point in it not working and me not knowing any other method. Thank you.

[@naztazia]

For a large number of stitches with Tunisian crochet, they have an "extended Tunisian hook" available. Basically it's a crochet hook with a long fishing wire attached to the end of it to hold the stitches. You can see this in my Guide to Crochet hooks video, starting at about 4 minutes into the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaq1oaeIbKd8Y9U

[@jayadoley9307]

Beautiful, is this pattern okay for sweaters?

[@naztazia]

Yes, the stitch pattern produces nice soft items, especially good for sweaters.

[@patriciagraceffa8059]

Hey Donna, what happened to Teresa? I can't find any off her videos? I haven't done any crochet in awhile. I remember you and her alot.

[@naztazia]

I'm not sure what she's doing these days. Good to see you back with crochet. Thank you very much!

[@barboverdorf2122]

I missed you. My subscription disappeared so added again.

[@naztazia]

Welcome back!

[@lindaellis921]

I’ve been trying this stitch and the end of my rows seem to be shrinking:decreasing. I think I haven’t been putting my last stitch on correctly. After watching this I think you just helped me figure it out. Any other experienced crocheters have advice for me?

[@nezzysnicatees]

I have done this twice tonight and it's time I don't have 20 row 20 on the hook I have 18 I've had 17 I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong

[@valackerman7519]

I was getting confused until I realized... 1st row used 1st space and ended in either space or stitch but second row of pattern skipped first space and did both last space And stitch...simple but makes count correct!

[@ran9553]

Where you bought your hook??

[@Tomes23]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@reneem7739]

Did you yarn under during the forward pass?

[@naztazia]

For both forward and return passes, I do a yarn over instead of a yarn under. Interesting because I've never tried a yarn under with Tunisian crochet, guess I'll have to do that to see if it produces any different results!

[@jennaellis4178]

So do you just add a border to hide the color carries?

[@naztazia]

Yes, and I usually do a regular type of crochet border initially, like a single crochet around all edges, even though it's Tunisian crochet.

[@jennaellis4178]

Great thank you

[@craft6965]

What is the max width you can make your blanket

[@naztazia]

If you get the adjustable Tunisian crochet hooks, ultimately there's no limit to the number of stitches you can place on them, if you keep adding the extended fishing wire tubes to the end of the Tunisian hook. I think from a reasonable perspective, a king sized bedspread is about the maximum width I'd be comfortable handling.

[@dianepetersen430]

Hey could you help me with that please

[@stuntracersalman5999]

🙏👌👍👩

[@barbarahutchinson836]

How do you end it?

[@naztazia]

You can end on any row's return pass once you have one loop remaining. Fasten off and weave in ends. Or you can place a single crochet border on top to match the bottom.

[@barbarahutchinson836]

Thank you

[@carolakamine8441]

I went up 2 hook sizes and it still curls but not as much.

[@lechini4827]

Did you do the 2 regular crochet rows, too? I want to try I out.

[@masumi158]

1:11 Just use bigger hook.

[@cheryls4526]

This is not simple stitch, correct? I have not come to learn this stitch before.

[@naztazia]

You are correct. Technically this would not be considered the "Tunisian simple stitch" because we aren't going under the front of each of the loops for the next row. Instead we're going through and in between the loops. Since it is a different position, someone decades ago decided to call this method the "Tunisian full stitch."

[@tracyhall4648]

What is this yarn called ? I know its a worsted weight yarn.
