Hi Amanda, to increase I would make a stitch in the horizontal stitch between the 2 perpendicular loops, and to decrease I would just insert your hook into more than one loop at a time to make your stitch.

Hi Rachel,

I LOVE this stitch!! I’ve been looking for a knit-like crochet pattern for the LONGEST time and this has just saved my life. I’m just wondering if you know how to increase and decrease using this stitch so that the pattern retains the knit-look. I’ve come up with my own way to do it, but I’d love any advice you have. Thanks!

Hi Rachel,

Thanks for the info I went back and put my glasses on this time and I do see the difference. As for the pattern I’m trying to do, I’m not sure what I’m looking at either! Thanks for the help and as always keep up the great work that your doing!

Hi Dana,
If you are referring to my Tunisian simple stitch and Tunisian knit stitch tutorials, they are different. The difference is the location where you insert your hook during the forward pass. Everything else in the stitch remains the same. There are a bunch of different Tunisian stitches, so I’m not sure which one you are trying to use in your pattern. From your description, it seems like you are just modifying the reverse pass, it wouldn’t look like the pictures in my tutorial. I wish I could help you more, but I’m not sure what pattern you are looking at.

Rachel,

I’ve gone through both of the Tunisian stitch types. Am I wrong or are they the same? What am I missing? The pattern that I’m using Tunisian on calls for slipping one stitch off and then two stitches off and then one stitch off and then two stitches off until the end. The problem is either way my stitches don’t look anything like your or the pattern I’m using! I’ve been crocheting for about 20 years now and knitting for one year, so you’d think that I would be getting this. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help in advance!

Thank you so much. I love your pictures – that is what makes it all come together for me. I tried this from a tutorial without pictures and didn’t understand, now it seems easy.
