Tunisian crochet, which originated in Tunisia, the land of carpets, is a type of crochet that can be as long as a knitting needle and is used to create a stitch known as "weaving".

Variations of Tunisian crochet hooks

For this particular technique, which creates a fabric, a special crochet hook of various lengths up to 30 cm is used. There are "rigid" or "straight" hooks, depending on the use or simply the size of the project to be completed. They can have a knob at the end so that the stitches cannot slip, or they can be equipped with a cable, which is useful for making garments such as shawls or blankets.

There are also double-pointed crochet hooks, used for circular work, such as the ones we offer, which are made of plastic and are therefore easy and simple to use.

Working with Tunisian crochet:

Work in rows back and forth, keeping the work on the right side and never turning it: on the first row (forward), pick up all the stitches and on the second row (back), close the stitches.
As with knitting, the forward row is worked from right to left, picking up all the stitches on the crochet hook, based on a chain stitch.

The return row is worked from left to right, closing all the stitches of the work as you go.
The effect of Tunisian crochet is that of a very dense fabric if you use a crochet hook diameter suitable for the wool or yarn, or a light fabric if you use a crochet hook at least 1 size larger than that indicated on the yarn used.
