Tunisian Crochet is a wonderful technique, often referred to as a bridge between crochet and knitting. It is one of Eleonora’s most popular workshops. Eleonora has extensive experience teaching Tunisian Crochet and has had many designs published in UK crochet magazines.

In this workshop, Eleonora will teach you all you need to know to get started with Tunisian Crochet and how to get the best results with this fabulous technique. From Tunisian Simple Stitch to Tunisian Knit Stitch and other stitches, as well as how to work interesting colour changes. The beauty of Tunisian crochet is that it produces a dense fabric, making it a great technique for projects requiring strength or a more solid finish. That said, there are many lacy Tunisian stitches too, and Eleonora will show how these can be created and share a wearable ‘wrap’ pattern.
