I wanted to consult with you, and ask if it’s possible that a Tunisian crochet pattern will also have instructions for regular crochet (So, will also utilize regular crochet stitches like sc, dc and other…) all in one pattern?
Hi Lir, yes most Tunisian patterns will have a little bit of standard crochet in it. There are some differences though.
Eg in my current pattern writing I’m making a lot of entrelac squares. I’m using an sc bind off on the tops of the squares and there is a sl st used as well. But to make the sc, the hook is inserted as per a tss stitch. The sc still looks the same but the insertion point is different to normal crochet. Designers will still call this sc though.
Most commonly you would see ch, sc, sl st. I sometimes add in hdc and dc in some borders.
Yes, that helps a lot! Thank you for all the details, we want to build Ribblr in the best way for all the fiber arts, so I wanted to hear from crafters that know more about tunisian crochet patterns
Hi Ruth!
Thank you! We want to build Ribblr with and for the community, and I always aim to hear feedback from you. Especially for an art like Tunisian crochet, which is now getting more popular but is still relatively new and growing, compared to regular crochet or knitting.
I’m looking forward to seeing your designs on Ribblr!
Lir
