You don't show how to get the "vertical bars" in the first place. Did part of this get edited out??

[RedBubbles303]

Sorry for the late reply!!! LOL. You would do the same with chains just go into your chains and add loops. Then take em off. Then u will have bars.

Whenever I do the tunisian stitch, the ends of mine curl up, is it either that I am holding to tight and pulling to tight or maybe the size of me needle?

[autumnparty]

To stop the ends from curling do two rows of the purl stitch in the beginning (how-to videos for that are here on youtube). Carry on throughout the piece in basic stitch and then do 2 more rows of purl stitch to finish it.

Thank you so much for this video! I know for a fact that I would have never been able to do tunisian crochet with out your AWESOME videos. Really, you make it so easy to follow along and gave me a non-fustrating way to learn this very nice stich!

Thanks for making your videos for us. I've always wondered how tunisian crochet is done - but I couldn't understand written directions only. Your videos make it look much easier than books do! I"ve always loved the look of some of the plainer tunisian stitches and I'd love to do them. Now maybe I can be a beginner regular crocheter and tunisian crocheter too. Thank you! I'll check out all your videos very soon. :)

thank you so much that help alot. I wanted to add at the end of the stitch and you answered my question. You are so great. Keep up the great work

how do you crochet tunisian without it curling up?

[smsnsms032406]

it will always curl that is what I asked and everyone has told me it will always curl. they told me to add an edge to it and that will help

you answered my color change question! Thank you!! I have a charted pattern that I wanted to do but did not like how it looked in "regular" sc crochet. Now I think I'll attempt it in the afghan stitch! TY!

Hello Andy, I learned the Tunesian stitch by watching your video, but I have a question about it.

Is it 'supposed' to be done with a big hook? I tried it with a 4.00 mm hook and a 3.50 mm (Tunesian) hook but then I cannot get a good loop for the next row. Maybe I need a hook with size 8.00 mm?

I hope you understand what I mean, I'm Dutch so I don't really know the English names or sizes...

Do you know any more stitches? I love to learn more.
