How to Tunisian Crochet (The Simple Stitch)

     To Tunisian Crochet, you will need an afghan hook (see below).

     To begin, chain as many stitches as you would like; I did ten.

     Insert your crochet hook into the stitch next to your hook, yarn over, and pull it through the stitch. This is called Forward Pass.

     Continue picking up stitches across the row.

     Now, yarn over and pull it through the first stitch on your hook.

     For the rest of the row, yarn over and pull it through two stitches. This is called Return Pass.

     Your swatch will now look like this.

     Picking up the vertical stitches, make a Forward Pass. Continue making Forward and Return Passes until you have completed your project, ending with a Return Pass.

How to Bind Off

     Pick up the vertical stitch next to your hook.

     Yarn over and pull it through both of the stitches on your hook.

    Keep doing this until the end of the row, and your swatch will look like this.
