What is Tunisian Crochet?

Tunisian crochet, also known as Afghan crochet or Tricot crochet, is a craft that merges knitting and crochet techniques to produce a distinctive fabric. This technique is loved by many for its intricate texture, excellent stitch definition, and the ability to create beautiful color patterns.

The process involves using a long hook, similar to a knitting needle, to work stitches across the entire row. Unlike regular crochet which works one stitch at a time, Tunisian crochet keeps multiple stitches on the hook, similar to knitting. This approach allows you to create a unique and dense fabric.
