Unveiling the Anatomy of the Stitch
‘Make It Thursdays’ at the American Folk Art Museum
Tunisian Crochet with Lisa Daehlin
Thursday, May 3, 2012; 6:00-7:30pm
The technique of Tunisian Crochet is a Hybrid of Crochet & Knitting, resulting in a fabric with a woven quality. Learn how to make the basic Tunisian Crochet stitches (simple/knit/purl), and expand those skills to incorporate the use of two colors and to create a variation in lace. Materials: crochet hook (size h, i or j), 2 small balls of dk or worsted weight yarn (different colors). Prerequisite: No skills needed…only the desire to learn about this gorgeous fabric.
