Whether you're after a quick project with a bit of variety, or fancy throwing yourself into your next epic project, there's a whole world of fun Tunisian crochet patterns for you to try!
Tunisian crochet has some subtle differences to conventional crochet, but if you already know the crochet basics you'll be able to pick it up pretty quick, and you can always check out our How to do Tunisian crochet tutorial which will help you master the basics of this fun technique.
The main difference with Tunisian crochet is that you keep several stitches on the hook rather than completing one at a time - a bit like knitting. Although you can technically do Tunisian crochet with a standard crochet hook, it's worth investing in proper Tunisian crochet hooks as they're generally longer to accommodate more stitches.
