I’ve always thought of Tunisian crochet as a cross between crocheting and knitting. With Tunisian crochet you can create fabric that is completely different than ordinary crochet. It is a unique technique to learn if you haven’t tried it already. We have a lot of Tunisian crochet tutorials here on Crochet Spot, and in this post I’ll round them up and organize them for you. Use the tutorials below to give Tunisian crochet a try!

Crochet this purse for yourself or for anyone who is a panda lover! How adorable would it be to tote this bag around? It’s a cute purse for adults and kids. The bag is crocheted from the bottom up in one piece, seamlessly in the round like a spiral. Then the strap and the panda’s face is sewn on. The strap can be made as long or short as you desire to create a shoulder bag or a crossbody. Feel free to add you own lining or closures if desired.

If you sell crocheted items that are made from any Crochet Spot patterns, I would love to add you to a directory I’m creating. Often times non-crocheters see a Crochet Spot pattern and would like to purchase the finished item. However, I do not always have the time to make the items. If you use Crochet Spot patterns often and even sell the finished items already, I would love to add you to a list I’m creating so that non-crocheters can easily find someone who can crochet a pattern for them.

If you would like to be added to this free directory, please email [email protected] and include the following information:

• Your full name and business name (if you have one)
• Link to your online shop (Etsy shop, personal website, Facebook page, etc.) so that folks can see your work
• Email address, which will appear publicly in the directory
• 2 – 3 sentences about yourself and/or your crochet work, to be displayed with your information
• List the CrochetSpot.com patterns that you enjoy crocheting the most. These patterns will be noted so that customers can choose a crocheter that matches their needs.

If you have any questions about this directory, feel free to let me know!

Increasing and decreasing creates shape in your crochet projects, but traditional decrease stitches don’t always blend well and can stick out and be unsightly. The invisible decrease technique can be used with a lot of different stitches. The technique is similar for each stitch.

Inspired by the rose bushes in my garden, this set includes rose shaped scrubbies and green cleaning cloths. The scrubbies and cloths can be displayed in a cute flower pot to resemble a rose bush, making it a great gift idea and decoration for your home. The rose shaped scrubbies are crocheted with ordinary yarn and nylon netting held together to create a rough texture that’s great for scrubbing. Use a scrubbie for your dishes and another to exfoliate your face or body. The cleaning cloth has a leaf inspired stitch pattern and a hexagon shape. It can be used to clean dishes and counter tops, or used as a washcloth or face cloth. Crochet with 100% cotton yarn for extra absorbency. Pattern includes a tutorial for preparing and crocheting with nylon netting.

Is that a magical, crystal ball with yarn I see?? No, it’s the Yarnit! It’s a nifty, new gadget for holding your yarn while you crochet (or knit). The yarn sits inside the globe so that it doesn’t roll around on the floor or get dirty. You can use it at home, but it’s also great for folks who like to travel with their projects. Is the Yarnit for you? With any item there are always pros and cons, and in this review I’ll share with you my honest opinion.

This fashion necklace is one of my new favorites. It’s really all about the beads. Choose a few beads in your favorite colors and string them together with crochet. The beads can be all one color, or different colors. Blues are my favorite to wear, but feel free to make the necklace in any color that you like. Imagine the necklace with vibrant orange or yellow to add a pop of color to a summer outfit. Try it in black, silver or gold for an elegant look. Whatever look you choose, it’s sure to look great tied around your neck!

Adding beads to your crochet can give your project the extra touch it needs. Beads are popular in crochet jewelry patterns, but can also be used in scarves, shawls, accessories, home decor, toys, and anything else you can imagine. In this post, I rounded up eight bead tutorials that we have on Crochet Spot. They are in the order which I recommend learning if you aren’t familiar with bead work.
