Intro to Tunisian Crochet
This beginner-friendly workshop is designed for crocheters who are new to Tunisian crochet. Students will learn the fundamentals of the craft, including how to cast on, work the Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS), and complete the forward and return pass. Along the way, we'll cover essential techniques such as maintaining even tension, identifying stitches, and binding off.
By the end of the workshop, students will have a strong foundation in Tunisian crochet and the confidence to continue practicing the technique and move on to beginner-friendly projects.
