Tunisian Crochet Stitch |
Learn how to do the Tunisian stitch. Fun and very creative to make. I've always been curious about the entrelac stitches.
My question was will I get it. I'm so used to grandma's crochet and the Tunisian stitches are so beautiful but they seem so hard to do. But when I first saw a Tunisian crochet blanket made in interlaced diamond stitches I fell in love.
I couldn't stop picturing my blanket. Thought I'd make one for my daughter all colored in the rainbow colors she loves. Ps: she still likes unicorns.
Girls, this blanket is not a simple blanket, the Tunisian stitches are more delicate and the way of working the thread is a little different.
The crochet hook some friends in my whats group told me that they do the interlac stitch with the traditional crochet hook. But the correct thing is to do it with the Tunisian needle. It's up to your preference.
Entrelac Stitch:
The Tunisian stitch you can use threads that you have at home. Leftovers of colored crochet thread look beautiful in this entrelac crochet work. Work with colors that match.
When I think of colors before starting my work, I always think of nature.
Yarn:
Before starting a pattern think about the colors you can use. Try to bring harmony to your work.
Use your creativity and work with the wires you have in your house.
Our friends who have been crocheting for some time, like me, know that there are many threads left at home and there are times when we feel like throwing them all away. In order not to store too many threads at home, use the remains of threads from past work.
Another tip is to remember the seasons.
Spring: cheerful colors more vibrant yellow, green, blue.
Summer: Light pink, sea blue. (unicorn color).
Autumn: Earthy colors.
Winter: Ice white, Light blue, (frozen color).
