your video was very helpful. how many stitches did you use for the bigger sample/

[KnitDenise]

@judycat123 My guess from memory is 30 sts. The swatch/sample is away for a short time, so I cannot check it right now. When I see it again, I will count and post.

@judycat123 Just checked, and the larger, salmon pink swatch has 32 stitches in it. Hope that helps.

Great! I just discovered tunisian crochet and I am fascinated!Your tutorials really help! Thank you so much : ) I'd like to try to make a scarf in tunisian crochet. Is there a stitch that looks similar on both sides of the piece? or is there a stitch that is just as pretty on the back as it is on the front?

[KnitDenise]

@MagVee1 Glad you are enjoying Tunisian crochet! There is so much to try! For double-sided fabric such as a scarf, one traditional approach is to combine two stitches that alternate using the front loops and the back loops. E.g. Tunisian Simple Stitch and Tunisian Reverse Stitch. Honeycomb alternates 1 st only of each. If you work, say, 5 sts of each, you will get vertical stripes, and the stripes will be mirrored on both sides of the fabric. It is a short jump to blocks, basketweave, etc!

I love these videos - you make it so easy to follow along and understand !

I am finding that I love the look of tunisian stitches, however it's very apparent to me there is a "front" and "back" to these. Is there a stitch that makes it look a little more inter-changeable? I would love to make blankets, etc but hate the idea of having to make sure they're facing the "right" way to look their best :)

@critterlovr Thanks! You are right that most Tunisian stitches look different on each side. Not necessarily bad but different, making "front" and "back" sides of the fabric. We have on the list to make a new video that shows a way to counteract this. Your comment moves it up the list. Will post that soon.

@KnitDenise Great ideas! thanx, I can't wait to get started :D

@lilcaits So glad you have another approach to use now! So often there is more than one way to accomplish the same thing.

Your videos have been so helpful! I've been crocheting for years and only recently came across tunisian crochet. I must say, I prefer the knit look, but I hate knitting- I'm glad there's a way to fake it!
