The Tunisian Crochet Handbook: A Beginner's Guide

From fiber artist Toni Lipsey of TL Yarn Craft, an introduction to Tunisian crochet—a distinctive crochet style that resembles knitting—featuring 20 beginner projects. While many books cover traditional crochet, few address Tunisian crochet or present it in a modern, accessible way. This handbook introduces the technique with a range of stitches and design possibilities. The book guides crocheters through Tunisian crochet step-by-step, beginning with tools and yarns, moving into instructions and stitches, and concluding with straightforward patterns. Each shawl, garment, and accessory included progresses beyond basics, introducing new stitches to build maker skills. Through these designs, Lipsey reintroduces crochet and encourages makers to deepen their practice with each project. As crochet grows in popularity, this guidebook offers a distinct perspective on the traditional craft.
