Hi Betty, yes you can make it as wide as you want for your throw using this stitch. You can also make squares and piece them together if you don’t want to make one large piece. Have fun with it!

Do you happen to have a throw pattern in this ? Or do I just make it as wide as I want and go from there with just the same stitch? /any info is appreciated.
Thanks,
Betty

Hi Melissa, you can use a special Tunisian hook that has a flexible extension. It looks like a plastic cord that is attached to the end of the hook. You can find them on a single hook or as a double ended hook. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can make one yourself by neatly attaching a cord to the end of your hook.
You can also try using more than one crochet hook.

I’m so glad I found this! I can crochet anything and yet for some reason I cannot get my hands and brain to coordinated knitting so this stitch is awesome… I do have a question though, how can I use this stitch for a larger piece? I make woolies (basically wool pants to cover cloth diapers) for my son and I usually work in a round, which is fine for regular crochet stitches but how can I get 60-120 stitches on my hook?

Hi Bella, take a look at the second to last photo in the tutorial. The “vertical bar” is the stitch that runs up and down and the hook is being put behind it.

I don’t get the “under the vertical bar” part. Where do you put your hook?

Hi Michelle, after your put the hook under the vertical bar, push the hook through the work so that it is sticking out the back. If you do a couple of stitches, you’ll start to see the knit look.
