Tunisian treble crochet, or ttc, is a simple stitch to learn once you get the basics of down. It’s very close to its traditional crochet cousin, treble crochet, so if you’re well-versed in basic crochet stitches, you’re already a step ahead.

| For some unexplainable reason, I’ve always adored umbrellas and parasols. When I was little, I received a child-sized blue umbrella complete with frills. I couldn’t wait for rainy day after that. Today I find it very interesting when going out in the rain the many styles and colors of umbrellas you will see. This interest inspired this weeks pattern. It’s basic and fun to make. Make sure and tell me what you will do with yours! |  |

I am excited to annouce a new series on Crochet Spot – “Yarns for You” Crochet Yarn Reviews! The purpose of “Yarns for You” is to share a crocheter’s point of view about what makes a yarn good/bad/fun/useful/etc. to crochet with! This will be different from the “Focus on Fiber” series in that I will be reviewing specific types of yarn by name. As always, it would be great to hear from other Crochet Spotters in the comments section!
Why a crochet yarn review? Did you ever notice how sometimes yarn makers put all of the knitting information on the label and have knitted samples in the store, but may overlook crochet? Truthfully, some yarn is better for knitting and some is better for crochet. It has to do with how the yarn is constructed.

Add that splash of color to any outfit with a two-toned scarf. Much like your favorite soft serve with two flavors, the two colors of the scarf meld together when worn. The lacy design evokes a classic teardrop or polka dot design from afar. Make it in color combinations of the latest palette, or in the colors of a school or team. Using medium weight yarn in acrylic or wool makes this a warm scarf, too.Â

This wristband is a good project for Tunisian crocheters who want to expand their skills a little more. The simple eyelet pattern uses basic stitches with no shaping to keep track of. The band is worked flat and requires a small amount of seaming to finish.

Tunisian full stitch, as its name implies, is good for creating something that is bulky and heavy. Blankets, rugs, and mats are just a few applications for for this easy-to-make stitch. One thing to keep in mind is that the tfs has a natural bias and may need to be combined with other stitches in addition to being blocked to straighten it out. If you are unfamiliar with Tunisian crochet, you can start learning with the Tunisian simple stitch (tss) tutorial.

In part one (see part one here), I mentioned three different ways to make pom poms: with your fingers, with a tool, and with a fork. Now I’m going to show you how to make pom poms using a template.
First, we’ll make the template.
