Hmm… I don’t have a video, but maybe I can try and explain it better. You would work the stitches the same way as you would if it were flat. But if you are using a regular straight crochet hook you’ll get to a point (typically half way) where you can’t put any more stitches on your hook because your fabric is curved/rounded and your hook is straight. So at that point you can use a second hook to work the remaining stitches (the same way you worked the stitches you already made), or you can remove the hook from the stitches/loops that are on the current hook and use that hook to make the remaining stitches (you have to be careful not to pull the stitches out if you do it this way), or you can opt to use a special type of crochet hook that has a flexible cord, so that it can curve around your piece.

Try experimenting with it if you’d like! I’d recommend practicing the stitch back and forth to make a flat piece first. Then when you’re ready you can try one in the round. Have fun with it!

Is there a video you would recommend for using this stitch while working in the round? I am having a hard time visualizing what you mean by sliding loops off as I work, or using multiple hooks. Thanks a alot

Hello! Yes, you can use this stitch while working in the round. You can either slide the loops off of your hook as you work, use multiple hooks, or use a hook that has a flexible cord at the end to hold the stitches.

Hi. I was wondering… Is there any way you can use this stitch when working in the round? For instance I am wanting to create a hat, is it possible to use this stitch to do so or can u only use this stitch for flat pieces?

Thanks
Kris.

Hello there. I have a 14″ Tunisian crochet hook. Yes you can comfortably work 100 stitches on it. I am actually currently making a baby blanket with a 14″ Tunisian crochet hook that has 100 stitches wide on it.

Hi Mary, the v’s are made when you insert your hook under the “vertical bar” AND through the back of the work. You have to make sure that you’re doing that step correctly, because that’s what makes the v’s. If you’re just going under the bar, you’re doing the regular Tunisian Simple Stitch and not the Tunisian Knit Stitch. You may also have to do a few rows before you start to see the knit look.

I have followed your example on tunisian simple stitch and knit stitch but my sample doesnt have the little v’s on the front side. The back looks right. Once you do steps 1-13 and then start going through the vertical bars my front side has vertical bars across the piece. I like the look of the v’s which makes it look like knit. Am I suppose to view the piece as it is looks when you are working the stitches (horizontal) or do you turn it vertically). Confused. How do I get the little v’s like the pics. I crochet left handed and was able to follow along alright.

Thanks

Mary
