Tunisian Crochet 101
with Sheila Rolfer
Tunisian crochet is almost a hybrid of crochet and knitting but only requires one hook as you create fabric. One row worked a row of stitches onto the hook, then next row crochets them off for a texture unique to this technique. Sheila will demonstrate the basic techniques as you practice using our interchangeable Tunisian Crochet hooks and cords.
Taking place: Saturday | Feb. 22 from 2pm to 3:30pm
