Girl. I love, love, love this, but I’m a visual learner. I’d love to just follow along with you and your soothing background music. We do enough rows I’ll catch on. But I’d love to do at least 4 to 5 rows. But if your feeling frisky, I promise to hang in there with you. Thanks so much.

Very clear so far, but I don't know what to do next? Is there another video on the rest?

There is a full written pattern (find the link in description). This is a video showing the trickiest part, the beginning of the pattern, and the explanation of how increases work. All further rounds are easy, once you understand the increase pattern. 😊

Where did you find this particular yarn with these color combinations? (teal, brown, gray, peach/coral, etc). What brand and where can I find it?

I found it at Ice Yarns. It's called Ambiente, I don't know if it's still available, but they sure have sometimes similar ☺️

How did you literally start the circle before you proceeded to crochet, I can’t figure it out. TY

Can this just keep on growing until desired size?

[@HookloopsarahCrochet]

Sure, just keeping with the increase pattern. 😉

[@byronmiles2543]

What is the yarn you used. I bought the pattern thinking it would give more specifics but if it did, I didn’t see.

[@HookloopsarahCrochet]

Hi Byron! I used a 50% wool / 50% acrylic yarn called "Ambiente" by ICE Yarns. It's a number 5 yarn, usually worked with a 6 mm sized hook, but I always use bigger hook sizes in Tunisian crochet. Sorry for the delayed reply, but I don't always get notified when people leave comments here, I definitely must revise this. Thank you for your interest!

[@byronmiles2543]

Hookloopsarah Crochet thank you for the info. No worries about the delay.

[@tiffanymarks8099]

Hi there, I just wanted to say, I have never done Tunisian crochet before, I found it quite intimidating to approach as a technique but I took a gamble and bought the written off Etsy because the pattern looked sensational and I'm so pleased I did, your instructions are so simple to understand and concise and now I'm hooked (excuse the pun!). I do have one question though, if I were to make it larger than the pattern provided, say, double the size, how would I continue? As I started to try going a few more rounds spacing the increases accordingly but it started to lose it's flat shape? Thank you again! 😊

[@HookloopsarahCrochet]

Hi Tiffany, I'm so glad to hear that! Yes, if you want to make it larger, you just continue with the increase pattern. It is strange that the rug does not stay flat, it usually curls at the beginning and flattens out with its own weight. You could try some blocking afterwards. It also depends on the yarn you're using, and if the problem persists, you could try going up a hook size. 😊

[@sadiemiller6185]

I was ģiven a set of hooks with cords attached çan I use these for Tunisian crochet

[@HookloopsarahCrochet]

Of course! But for this rug project you can use standard crochet Hooks too. 😊

[@louiseblack2846]

I am working on spiral technique for the first time and your video is brilliant. Thank you for making it so clear. I see from a recent comment that you explain what to do if continuing on and Yay! I understand how to increase to make a circle so I use that technique for this spiral work. However I need to understand how to decrease slowly at the end, reducing from 6 loops. I understand the decreases can't occur at each row. How many rows would you work inbetween each decrease, and how many edge stitches would you work into? eg.It is confusing when we talk stitches and rows with spiral, so I will refer to the stitch around the edge as the edge stitch ES. My thought is first decrease to 5 into ES one, followed by another row into the same ES. Would I then decrease to 4 in the next ES or work 2 more into that one and decrease at the 3rd ES which is the 5th row? Or would that depend on what I worked in the last round. If I worked 2 into every 2nd stitch on the last round I would decrease first row, 2nd row in same ES, then one row only in 2nd ES. Then repeat. No sorry I am only getting myself confused.

[@HookloopsarahCrochet]

There's a written pattern with the instructions 😊. Maybe it would be a good idea for me to make a video on the decrease part only... 🤔

[@louiseblack2846]

@@HookloopsarahCrochet I would appreciate that. I am only wanting to make small face washers and am trialing the spiral.

[@laurenb8702]

What brand/type of yarn is in the demonstration?

[@HookloopsarahCrochet]

The purple yarn I use in the demonstration is called Tube Cotton, while the rug itself is done with a yarn called Ambiente. They're both by ICE Yarns, but I'm afraid Ambiente is out of stock now. 😊

[@lindacornelius3451]

I am going to make a Rug.

[@dawnhansen7886]

I Love this video ❗ Your crochet is beautiful and your background music is so peaceful. ThankYou

[@HookloopsarahCrochet]

Thank you so much :)

[@bettydiggs2563]

So in order to make the same size that you have showing, we continue with only doing 2rows in each row until we GET the size we WANT???

[@HookloopsarahCrochet]

No. Just like increasing in regular crochet, you progressively space out increases round after round. So after working 2 rows in each side st (doubling the total number of rows), you will work 2 rows every 2 sts; then every 3 sts in the following row, then every 4 sts in the next, and so on. Check the link in description for my written pattern 😉.

[@bettydiggs2563]

I tried to find the WRITTEN pattern and couldn't find it.

[@AlliNana244]

please continue this tutorial through the complete circle until repeats start

[@TheOriana2000]

I'd love to know what yarn you're using. I may have missed it in the comments. If so I apologize.

[@HookloopsarahCrochet]

Do contact me if you need any help. 😊

[@briannconn]

Mine is not flat after the first round, am I crocheting too tight. I think I’m going to start over.

[@HookloopsarahCrochet]

@@briannconn That's typical. It is ok if it curls a bit at the beginning, but it should flatten out after some rounds (there are some pictures in my listing showing this). If it doesn't, yes, you should try go up a hook size or maybe even change the yarn (acrylic and stretchy yarn tends to curl much more than cotton or wool). Let me know if it helps! 💜

[@kerrywright8950]

What do you mean adding short rows to the border stitch? I wish you would've demonstrated more because your spiral was looking very unbalanced like you need to add stitches to the right edge to get it to be more even as it was curving upwards in the middle of the row.. is there more videos that show you working the rest of it??

[@HookloopsarahCrochet]

Not yet, sorry! But there are several patterns for it. 😉

[@HookloopsarahCrochet]

Thank you. I eliminated the music in later videos 😉

[@texastina66]

You said each row after you do two in each... that makes it ruffled, not flat. All other directions I've found say after the row of 2 in each you switch to alternating 2 and 1, the next row you do 2 , 1, 1... the next row 2, 1, 1, 1.. next 2, 1, 1, 1, 1... and so on that that each row has 24 extra stitches.

[@HookloopsarahCrochet]

Exactly as you say, Tina. I must listen closely to what I said in the video, but what you describe is the correct procedure - which is also the standard rule for increasing when working a circle to make it flat. 🙂

[@texastina66]

@@HookloopsarahCrochet Thank you for verifying this... I have been working on it trying to get it right. I appreciate the clarification
