Welcome my friend to the next stitch of the Tunisian Crochet Stitch Tutorial Series!!! We will be continuing the series with how to change color in Tunisian Crochet. 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 how to change color in Tunisian Crochet. :)
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 stitch :). And learning from Toni is one of the best ways to learn :)
For all those who are left handed, here is the left handed tutorial version for how to change color in Tunisian Crochet from the Knitter Knotter.
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!!
