It looks like the typical Tunisian crochet stitch, sliding hook behind the front loop, doing a yarn over hook & pulling loop back through the bar in front. The Tunisian KNIT st is done by inserting hook INTO the center of the St & drawing up a loop, then repeating across row. Regular return pass to get back to right edge.<br /><br />The Tunisian Knit st [TKS] "truly" resembles the knitted knit st. Your sample picture did not, to me. I've been doing the "Afghan" st [now called "Tunisian" crochet] since 1962, so a very long time. (I was only 12 at the time, but I started at age 7 & crocheting & selling intricate, advanced items women at my mom's work.<br /><br />Did you post the right picture for the Tunisian Knit st sample? Just wondering. Not trying to be picky, just an observation. I would post a picture of a sample if I could.Tammy in Seattlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14530895082031775425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451108506765377069.post-66622798794782616212013-01-01T10:59:53.255-05:002013-01-01T10:59:53.255-05:00Thanks for sharing this!!

The technique would be the same as crocheting around tunisian crochet. Then to join the panels into an afghan, you could just whip stitch the panels together or crochet them together. Or you could make the tunisian panel with embroidery on it or however you like it, then crochet along both sides in regular crochet to the desired width, then crochet along the top and bottom in regular crochet until the desired length is reached. <br /><br />Lots of possibilities for Tunisian crochet! Have fun with it!<br /><br />Please remember to include your email address next time you comment so I can respond to you directly. <br /><br />Thanks,<br />MGMMary Grace McNamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994668228832105911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451108506765377069.post-58219388413493332992010-02-08T10:24:04.514-05:002010-02-08T10:24:04.514-05:00Hi!

Perhaps not fringing as in strings, but some kind of border. I understand this helps with the curling problem, but I am unsure how to do this or to incorporate a Tunisian panel into an afgan- I can see it embroidered and center stage with other color panels to either side. Can you help?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248497686228125663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451108506765377069.post-78842473394491066502009-11-22T17:49:48.406-05:002009-11-22T17:49:48.406-05:00Dear Mary,

One row I went around the bar from the front and the next row I went around the bar from the back, so it gave me a nice design.<br />Anyway, my work started to curl around itself and I do not know what to do about it, I think about ironing but I doubt that it will help. I spent quite a long time making this scarf so I do not want my efforts to be in vain, so can you please suggest a solution to overcome this problem.<br />Thank you<br />YaseminYaseminnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451108506765377069.post-44697581808650338422009-09-13T10:10:01.388-04:002009-09-13T10:10:01.388-04:00Hi Jane, thanks for your comment on my website con...Hi Jane, thanks for your comment on my website concerning Tunisian Knit stitch.<br /><br />According to my sources, the basic Tunisian stitch, or afghan stitch, is also called the Tunisian Knit stitch. The Tunisian stitch that resembles stockinette stitch in knitting is called the Tunisian Stockinette Stitch and I provided a tutorial on that one a little further on in my website. Here's the link to it... http://www.hookedonneedles.com/2009/02/learn-to-crochet-tunisian-stockinette.html<br /><br />I think Tunisian crochet is one of those forms of needlework where you will find as many different names and techniques as you will find people who do it! It's all fun and creative though, and it's great to share our knowledge of it with others.<br /><br />I would have replied directly, but your comments are set to no-reply and I couldn't find your email address anywhere on your website.<br /><br />I hope you visit Hooked On Needles again soon!<br /><br />MGMMary Grace McNamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994668228832105911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5451108506765377069.post-62581070810757405152009-09-13T09:06:49.151-04:002009-09-13T09:06:49.151-04:00The samples that you show on this page are the Bas...The samples that you show on this page are the Basic Afghan Stitch or Tunisian Simple Stitch.
