Choose from 61 stitch patterns to add texture and beauty to your own one-of-a-kind Tunisian crochet projects. They’re great for scarves, home decor, garments, pillows and fashion accessories.
The book includes photo tutorials of the stitches to familiarize yourself with their execution. It teaches you the symbols for the stitches and how to read the charts. Once you’ve learned to read the charts, you can use the plethora of stitch patterns, most of them never-before-published, created by the author specifically and exclusively for this book. The book is a handy size, perfect to fit into your project bag.
The stitch patterns are separated into chapters of Learning Charts, Typical Stitches, Color Stitches, and Lace Stitches. The stitch patterns include basic, beginner stitch patterns through advanced, including never-before-seen pineapples and pine cones in Tunisian crochet. The book does require some basic crochet knowledge in order to enjoy it; i.e., slip knot, chain and single crochet. But, it does not require prior Tunisian crochet knowledge as long as you’re willing to learn the stitches (tutorials provided in the book) before jumping into the stitch patterns.
This book is a stitch pattern dictionary to expand your skill level and provide you with the opportunity to create your own projects. Although it includes one pattern/project to practice reading the charts, it is not a pattern book. It is a stitch pattern dictionary, like other stitch pattern dictionaries. Unlike other stitch pattern dictionaries, however, it is all Tunisian crochet.
Kim is also the author of the Ultimate Beginners Guide to Tunisian Crochet, Short Row Tunisian Fashion and Tunisian Cables to Crochet.
Binding is loose As to content, This is an excellent book, as to production, it is very, very disappointing.There are 61 stitch patterns, each with a color photograph, instructions and a chart for each. The stitches are grouped into Typical Stitches (ch 2), Color stitches (ch 3) and Lace Stitches (ch 4). The first chapter–Learning Charts–contains the 14 basic, named stitches. There is only one project in the book, Scarf, with a shopping list, gauge information, complete instructions, color…
OK but maybe hold out for something more detailed This is an ok stitch guide for those who know the basics of tunisian but honestly it would be better had there been more photo tutorials showing where to put your hook. The descriptions can be a bit confusing for anyone new to tunisian and even stump some of us who have been crocheting for many years.
Great stitch patterns I only wish there were more. I am a crochet designer, and look forward to making something great with one of these stitch patterns. There are all types of patterns in this book, from textured, colorwor, lace, even pineapples!! There are many unconventional stitches here, you will not find these in most books on Tunisian crochet. A must have if you are into Tunisian crochet.
