Crochet Advanced Crochet Techniques 2

Question 1

In Tunisian crochet, what tool is typically required to work a wide project?

Accepted Answer

A double-ended or long Tunisian hook

Answer

Tunisian crochet holds many loops on the hook at once, so a long or double-ended hook is needed to accommodate them.

Question 2

The Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS) fabric commonly has what tendency that must be managed?

Accepted Answer

It curls toward the front/bottom

Answer

TSS fabric naturally curls, so blocking or a different edge stitch is used to counteract it.

Question 3

What does the 'return pass' accomplish in Tunisian crochet?

Accepted Answer

Works loops off the hook back to one loop

Answer

The return pass yarns over and pulls through loops until only one remains on the hook.

Question 4

Which technique creates a smooth knit-like appearance in Tunisian crochet?

Accepted Answer

Tunisian Knit Stitch (TKS)

Answer

TKS is worked by inserting the hook between the front and back vertical bars, mimicking stockinette.

Question 5

Why is a larger-than-usual hook often recommended for Tunisian crochet?

Accepted Answer

The fabric is dense and a bigger hook keeps it flexible

Answer

Tunisian fabric is thick, so a larger hook keeps the drape from becoming too stiff.
