Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Start with Chains

Begin by making a slipknot and attaching it to your hook.
Work a foundation chain of your desired length. Keep your chains loose for easier stitching later.
Tip: For a sample swatch, start with about 20 chains.

Step 2: First Row (Picking Up Loops)

Insert your hook into the second chain from the hook.
Yarn over and pull up a loop to create a stitch.
Repeat this process in each chain across the row.
At the end of this step, you’ll have multiple loops on your hook.

Step 3: Return Pass (Tunisian Crochet Technique)

Yarn over and pull through two loops on the hook.
Repeat until you have only one loop remaining on the hook.
This completes your return pass and prepares your fabric for the next row.

Step 4: Changing Colors (Optional)

If you want to add a pop of color:
Stop before the last two loops of the return pass.
Attach your new yarn color and complete the return pass with the new color.
Secure your yarn with a knot if you prefer, especially for long-term projects.

Step 5: Second Row (Creating Texture)

Insert your hook under the next two loops on your hook.
Yarn over, pull through both loops, and extend the stitch slightly.
Return to the first loop on the hook and pull through to complete the stitch.
Repeat across the row, creating a lovely textured pattern.

Step 6: Neat Edges

At the end of each row, ensure you work into both strands of the edge stitch for a clean and sturdy border.

Step 7: Crossed Stitch Effect

To create a crossed pattern:
In every third row, begin with two simple stitches.
Resumes the regular pattern of working into pairs of loops.
This variation adds depth and interest to your fabric.

Finishing Touches

Once your project reaches the desired size, bind off your stitches by working a simple single crochet along the final row.
Weave in the loose ends using a yarn needle for a polished finish.
