Tunisian crochet is a style of crocheting that works a whole row at a time, opposed to working stitch by stitch, which is what make it is very similar to knitting.
The Tunisian Knit Stitch is a super simple stitch that creates a knit look stitch pattern. It’s pretty, it’s versatile, and it’s a lot of fun to do!
Since I was creating a project specifically for the purposes of reviewing the Ginger Tunisian Crochet Hook Set sent to me by Knitter’s Pride, I decided to go with a beginner style headwrap. You can check out the review HERE.
The Tunisian Twisted Front Earwarmer is made with one long flat piece that’s sewn together to form a band. This pattern works up quickly, plus the finished piece is extra thick, since the Tunisian Knit Stitch yields a thick fabric.
