I nlove the pattern ...If I wanted to do an afghan, how many chain stitches do I start out with and how do you keep that many stitches on the hook? If this is a silly question, sorry...I'm sort of a beginner. Thank you!
You know what I loved about this? I listened to it on my way home from work and understood it without watching it. I love your tutorials. Now if I could just get mine to stop curling...I've tried everything!
You know what I loved about this??? I listened to it on the drive home and I didn't even have to watch it to understand. Your tutorials are so clear!! Now of I can just get it to stop curling.....I've tried everything.
I found out by accident that if I go into the back loop of each stitch on the first pass it doesn't seem to curl as much! Love love love your videos!!
Thanks for the tutorial! I have only recently started learning the Tunisian and it was really kool to add in another crochet stitch to mix it up a bit! Started this a tiny bit longer and planning it to cover a throw pillow! Happy to see you have a couple other stitches that I never bothered learning to play with as well!
@jeanbes100 The hook size is the same. If you are comfortable working with the long hook making your shells then use it. I change because it is easier to work with the shorter hook for the shell. If you use the shorter hook to make the tunisian stitch, it will run off the end of your hook and come apart.
Teresa, you are awesome, so profissional. Thank you. I love your videos. One of these days I will utube a project that I managed to do. But I am still learning and master the stitches before doing any official project.
@supermelodia Thank you. Practicing the stitches will help reduce frustration when you feel ready to work on a project. Sometimes making something simple like a small granny square will help boost confidence as well.
Teresa, thanks for this instruction. One question: According to the video, after doing the 5th dbl crochet in the third shell, the next instruction is to "skip 2 stitches, work a shell in the next". Is there no single crochet between the third and fourth shell as there is between the others?
@kithrakat I tried a small swatch and it does reduce the curl quite a bit by using a larger hook and smaller yarn. I would recommend this tip. There is still a slight curl but not as much as with the larger yarn.
I can't seem to find an answerto the question of how do you modify this to make a baby blanket? How many loops can fit on the hook? how would the other woman do 210???
I love this video! I have the same question as Steven young, however - I understand that I can widen the project to afghan size by increasing the chain to any multiple of 6 (to accommodate the shell stitch) BUT how do I fit 210 loops on my long crochet hook to do the afghan stitch?
I have watched this video a bajillion times. I LOVE thiss look. BUT, I can't find a pattern anywhere using this. I am really struggling and would love a pattern, even if it were written version of this video.
Please, where can I located a written version? I've looked and looked on your blog site.
Teresa, if I wanted to alternate colors (for a baby afghan...in mint, purple and yellow) when would I start the new color? Right after you do the shells? Or the row after you do the back loops of the shells? thank you
@stevenyoung34 You will crochet a longer chain from the start. The multiple is six so you will need to keep that in mind. For example you can crochet a chain of 210. You can divide 210 by 6, that will give you 35 shells.
@tjw1963 Hi teresa,ty for replying so quickly. I understand about the 210 chain, but how am I going to fit that much on an afghan hook ? Also, I want to tell you how wonderfull your crochet videos are. I am one who cannot read a pattern. I have crocheted 5 blankets in the past 2 months from your videos alone. Prior to that I hadn't crocheted in a couple of years, due to not able to read patterns, so ty !! I look forward to crocheting new ones from your videos Thank you Sandy
@tjw1963 Shouldn't this be multiple of 6 +1? Example 25 is 6x4 + 1. You need the plus one for the last anchor single crochet,, Or am I missing something
@tjw1963 - Thank you,, you have added a written link since I first started viewing this video about every other week since April. I finally got around to trying it and had quit looking for written. You are AWESOME! And your videos are extremely helpful to those of us whom have not crocheted in 20+ year. It is like riding a bike if you have ever crocheted before - just seeing it has made all the things 'click'. Have a great weekend
Dear Teresa, I have learned so,so,so much with your videos! Thank you for being so generous and sharing your knowledge. This afghan using both crochet techniques is fantastic. I loved it
@tjw1963 I am new to doing the afgan stitch and just don't see how to make it a long blanket on the one hook do you just leave the hoops on the hook and do the whole length of the blanket? Or would you make it into pannels. Thank you for all youre videos I have gotten so many idea's from you thank you.
Dear Teresa , I have learned so,so,so much with your videos!! Thank you for being so generous and sharing what you know with everybody. This Tunisian afghan using both crochet techniques is fantastic! I love it
Hi, I realy love this pattern for a blanket, I'm wondering for about a twin size blanket what are the hook's I need to get? How big the hooks have to be? And the lengh it have to be to fit all of my stichts or points.. The pattern look's very easy to make with only 25 stichts, but if i had a lot more. It can be more complicated with not the right hooks. Can any help me please? Thanks :)
These are great. The dark painted nails actually make it easier to see what you are doing. I just got my first tunisian crochet hooks - made from bamboo and love them. I've been working with knitting looms and these are more fun - and your videos are really helpful.
If I were going to make a baby blanket- how many single stitches would I begin with? In the video you begin with 25 and I know that would not be enough for a baby blanket. I am a novice....thanks!
Hi Teresa - thanks so much for all your vids, I really enjoy them! I'm anxious to make a baby afghan with this pattern but I can't seem to find the multiple for it.
I think this is lovely! I had to make this when I saw it because it looked so beautiful. The Caron Simply Soft yarn is very soft and tends to seperate while working. I made a pillow for my 4 year old granddaughter and she loved it. Thank you for all your ideas and instructions.
@matthewperry1982 It means that you will slip stitch in to the chain 2 space. You can do what works best for you. Sometimes there may be several different ways to achieve the same outcome.
I have a red heart yarn pattern for a afghan stitch rosebud throw I wish to make as a gift.
Do you know of any companies that could ship ne the super saver yarn to Britain?
It looks a great yarn and it appears to be what we would call here an Aran weight which we tend to make fushermans's cable jumpers with and don't get all the great colours you get in the US!
I have tried looking for it here but no where in Britain stocks it!
Thank you so much for your tutorials. I am trying to make a large size blanket and my crochet hooks are connected by a plastic tube. Have you ever made a large size keepsake blanket? May we see it? Its a lot of work and one of my edges are not straight. Help. God bless!
@SassySophelia I made a scarf. If your edges are not straight, it is possible that you may be missing a stitch on the edge or working in a different stitch, which will give you a lopsided edge.
I'm fairly new to crocheting, I've gotten down the hdc so with that I would love to make my baby cousin a blanket but would like to add ribbon and a shell finish, can you help me? I don't know how many to chain for the foundation. Your videos are such a great help. Thank you :)
@tjw1963 What would be 18 inches??? I was asking about changing colors and carrying the yarn up the sides of your work... will that work if you are going to add an edging
Teresa I just want to thank you again for all of the great work that you do. Even your videos are exempliary... you not only show us what to do you TELL us how to do it. I appreciate this so much.
I was wondering if I could change the color on the shells carrying the yarn up the sides of my work as i am wanting to make a blanket that i will add an edging to when I am finished.
I would love to try this in afghan form. but I am so confused as to how many chains I would need to start with. How many chains would you recommend for an afghan?. Your videos are so inspiration and educational...thanks you so much!
The problem with your videos is that you get me SOOOO excited to start a new project that I have a hard time completing the current project(s). I love your tutorials! I can't wait to start this one!! BTW, your squared nails look really nice in this video. =)
The problem with your videos is that you get me SOOOO excited to start a new project that I have a hard time completing the current project(s). I love your tutorials! I can't wait to start this one!!
I found that at the end of each round, I was confused as to why it was not even on both ends. However after repeating the same stitch it became easier. Thank you for these vids!
You asked what difficulties we have with this and I've got to say the only problem I'm having is my scarf is forming toward the left a little. Just not quite straight. I'm making sure I'm starting all the way on the right and I'm getting the right number of stitches. Maybe I'll just get it going straighter as I keep working it.
@1SidekickAddict It will curl for everyone. You can work a foundation row of single crochet or foundation single crochet which will help reduce the curl.
Leave a really long tail when you do your original chain. After you do a few rows, go back and use the tail to do a row of single crochet along the bottom
This video is wonderful Teresa! I've had trouble with the afghan stitch before (from trying to learn by looking at books) and this made the light bulb go off big time! It's such an easy stitch yet it looks so complicated! I love it! I will be using this stitch to make my mom a scarf for Christmas - Thank you!!
the spot that plagues me is the last stitch on the right to left pass, I have been trying to pick up the two edges like you have shown, and sometimes I think Ive got it, then I look back down the edge and its all mish mash. But this is my favorite style for "regular" crochet with yarn vs. crochet with thread.
Your videos are great! Love this pattern - if I wanted to make a baby blanket, can you tell me how many stitches I would start with - or is there a formula?
There is a bunch of us at work learning to crochet and I direct all of them to your site.
I love all your videos, and am so glad to see more of your tunisian crochet. The thing I find most challenging about the tunisian stitches is that my hand tends to get SO much more tired than with regular crochet. I've found written patterns for tunisian crochet, but I don't know how to read them, which is disappointing. Thank you again! Also, I adore your nail polish in this one. :D
Theresa I am following along but I have difficulty doing the behind the stitch I seem to lose a stitch and also its curling on the bottom any suggestions? I love your stuff
@Kaiseih The curling happens to everyone. You can work a row of single crochet to reduce the curl. You may want to work your row of shell looser, so you can find the loop behind the stitch easier.
This is a very beautiful pattern and I can't wait to try it out! Thank you for doing this. I discovered where I had been messing up with the afghan stitch in watching this video. You are very good. Please keep making the videos.
wow!!! this looks so cool. i will try it out and post a video when im finish. this will really take me out of my comfort zone of the double crochet lol . wonder how long its gonna take me lol excellent video as always lady!
you have the best videos..........do you create your own patterns ......? you have any pattern for boys age 10 jacket..........please guide me....thanks.......YOU ARE AN AWSOME TEACHER....!
I love this! I just started a new scarf yesterday and now I wish I'd of seen this video first! Oh well, I guess I'll have a new project to start once I finish.
I love this pattern - very pretty and easy! The problem I am encountering is no matter how many times I start over, my work wants to curl up at the bottom. Is there a way to prevent this? Thanks a bunch! :)
I just tried doing this for experiment's sake and I gotta say it's turned out pretty easy to do. I love the thickness, it would do great as and afghan but I am having a bit of a hard time when I gotta switch from one type a stich to the other but I'm betting that's just until I get used to it.:) Thanks for posting this vid.
Theresa I love this but I need to get that long hook. The one I see online is 14" but how wide shoukld it be I see that there are several thicknesses. Thanks
Thanks for making this video!! I would never have thought of combining the 2 crochet methods. Are there other stitches that combine easily with Tunisian that you are planning to teach in the future? I'm waiting (impatiently lol!!!) to see what else i can try !!!!
@jcrefasi1 I had never combined the two before. Someone asked me a few weeks ago how a shell and tunisian could be combined. This is what I came up with. I can see a lot of crochet pattern stitches being combined with tunisian.
Where can I find the longer crochet hook? I can't seem to find it at my local craft store or Walmart.

I would love to try this in afghan form. but I am so confused as to how many chains I would need to start with. How many chains would you recommend for an afghan?. Your videos are so inspiration and educational...thanks you so much!
TheNaturalDiva 1 year ago
@TheNaturalDiva I would recommend a chain of 210.

I found that at the end of each round, I was confused as to why it was not even on both ends. However after repeating the same stitch it became easier. Thank you for these vids!

i dont know if anyone has asked this yet . but i was wondering the longest crochet hook i could find is 10" for this scard does it need to be 14" ?

@huynh14 A 10 inch hook will work too.
tjw1963 1 year ago
You asked what difficulties we have with this and I've got to say the only problem I'm having is my scarf is forming toward the left a little. Just not quite straight. I'm making sure I'm starting all the way on the right and I'm getting the right number of stitches. Maybe I'll just get it going straighter as I keep working it.
slroot06 1 year ago
@slroot06 I would suggest to work your stitch loops loose. Try to keep the looseness consistent on both sides.

Mine keeps folding up at the beginning, why would that be?
1SidekickAddict 1 year ago
@1SidekickAddict It will curl for everyone. You can work a foundation row of single crochet or foundation single crochet which will help reduce the curl.
tjw1963 1 year ago
@1SidekickAddict
Leave a really long tail when you do your original chain. After you do a few rows, go back and use the tail to do a row of single crochet along the bottom

This video is wonderful Teresa! I've had trouble with the afghan stitch before (from trying to learn by looking at books) and this made the light bulb go off big time! It's such an easy stitch yet it looks so complicated! I love it! I will be using this stitch to make my mom a scarf for Christmas - Thank you!!

@kaytarose Thank you! I am almost finished with my scarf. Just a few more rows.
tjw1963 1 year ago
the spot that plagues me is the last stitch on the right to left pass, I have been trying to pick up the two edges like you have shown, and sometimes I think Ive got it, then I look back down the edge and its all mish mash. But this is my favorite style for "regular" crochet with yarn vs. crochet with thread.

Your videos are great! Love this pattern - if I wanted to make a baby blanket, can you tell me how many stitches I would start with - or is there a formula?
There is a bunch of us at work learning to crochet and I direct all of them to your site.

I love all your videos, and am so glad to see more of your tunisian crochet. The thing I find most challenging about the tunisian stitches is that my hand tends to get SO much more tired than with regular crochet. I've found written patterns for tunisian crochet, but I don't know how to read them, which is disappointing. Thank you again! Also, I adore your nail polish in this one. :D

Theresa I am following along but I have difficulty doing the behind the stitch I seem to lose a stitch and also its curling on the bottom any suggestions? I love your stuff
Kaiseih 1 year ago
@Kaiseih The curling happens to everyone. You can work a row of single crochet to reduce the curl. You may want to work your row of shell looser, so you can find the loop behind the stitch easier.
tjw1963 1 year ago
This is a very beautiful pattern and I can't wait to try it out! Thank you for doing this. I discovered where I had been messing up with the afghan stitch in watching this video. You are very good. Please keep making the videos.

I just tried doing this for experiment's sake and I gotta say it's turned out pretty easy to do. I love the thickness, it would do great as and afghan but I am having a bit of a hard time when I gotta switch from one type a stich to the other but I'm betting that's just until I get used to it.:) Thanks for posting this vid.

Thanks for making this video!! I would never have thought of combining the 2 crochet methods. Are there other stitches that combine easily with Tunisian that you are planning to teach in the future? I'm waiting (impatiently lol!!!) to see what else i can try !!!!
jcrefasi1 1 year ago
@jcrefasi1 I had never combined the two before. Someone asked me a few weeks ago how a shell and tunisian could be combined. This is what I came up with. I can see a lot of crochet pattern stitches being combined with tunisian.
