Welcome my friend to the next stitch of the Tunisian Crochet Stitch Tutorial Series!!! We will be continuing the series with the Basic Cables Stitch. Most if not all of these will be featuring the wonderful Toni of TLYarn Crafts as she has inspired me to learn Tunisian Crochet through her stunning and beautiful Tunisian Crochet Holiday Sampler Blanket CAL last year and I love her tutorials. :). I can’t wait to see what you create with your new skills and without further ado, lets get started with the Tunisian Crochet Basic Cables Stitch. :)
Happy Berry Crochet starts us out with learning how to crochet the Tunisian Cables (see below).
Toni of TLYarnCrafts adds a fun twist to the Tunisian Cables by making them Meandering Cables. :)
This is a fun stitch to do and great to start with, it is light and creates a little bit of texture, it’s also fun one to combine with other stitches :). And learning from Toni is one of the best ways to learn :)
So everyone can learn Tunisian Crochet, we’ve included a left handed tutorial. Knitter Knotter has created a left handed Tunisian Crochet Tutorial you can watch below.
Tunisian Crochet is slowly growing in the amount of patterns and designers with some of the most amazing designers often those that also design crochet (like Toni and BHooked) and even knitting pieces as well. Several of these designers below may be very familiar and others you may not know actually create Tunisian crochet as well as crochet patterns!! If there are patterns that I have missed for the Tunisian Cables Stitch, please email me or comment below so I can add them and wishing you happy Tunisian Crocheting!!! Tag us on social media for a share and I can’t wait to see what you make!!
