[SIZE=16px]Hello everyone! Today we examine the Tunisian Double Stitch!
Video tutorials for the Double Stitch are available from The Crochet Crowd & Darlene Michaud.
The Tunisian Double Stitch is another utility stitch to enhance basic stitches. It’s made much the same as a traditional double crochet stitch with out closing the stitch. This technique adds height to the simple stitch, knit stitch, reverse stitch or any of the variations of these stitches in addition to texture and density. It creates a open fabric with lovely drape. Bonus - no curl![/SIZE] [HR][/HR]
