Tunisian Baby Blanket

Tunisian knitting, also known as Afghan knitting or Tunisian crochet, is a type of crochet that combines the qualities of both knitting and crocheting. In Tunisian knitting, the stitches are worked on a long crochet hook with a stopper at one end, much like a knitting needle.

Tunisian knitting is distinctive because it creates a dense, textured fabric that resembles knitted fabric. The technique is often used to create blankets, scarves, and other warm, cozy items, but it can also be used to create more delicate lace-like fabrics.

In Tunisian knitting, each row consists of two parts: the forward pass and the return pass. During the forward pass, the stitches are picked up onto the hook, and during the return pass, the stitches are worked off the hook one by one. This process is repeated over and over to create the desired length of fabric.

Tunisian knitting is a fun and unique technique that offers many possibilities for creative expression. With a little practice and patience, anyone can learn to Tunisian knit and create beautiful, textured fabric.
