Tunisian Crochet

Tunisian crochet, also known as Afghan crochet, is sometimes considered to be a mixture of crocheting and knitting.

We'll learn the simple tunisian stitch and a new variation of the same stitch. So if you took this sampler before, you will still learn something new this time.

Students will have time to practice and will get some ideas on how to build on the new skill.

Several yarn colors to choose from or bring your Kool-aide dyed yarn.
