![Tunisian Crochet Shawl for Beginners - FAST and EASY, Make in a Weekend! [Lamia Wrap]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/uNafdzNCCVQ/mqdefault.jpg)
I am an 82 year old male crocheter who started at age 11 (yes, I’ve been crocheting for over 70 years). I first tried Tunisian about 40 years ago when making the background fabric for a Bernat cross stitch afghan. The instruction sheet walked me through what I now know was the simple stitch to make the afghan strips. I finished the project, put away the afghan hook, and forgot all about it until I started watching your videos and tutorials about 2 weeks age. You fired me up, girl! Now (after a couple days practice) I’m working on a lace stitch Tunisian scarf project. Can’t wait to see where I go from there.
The best part of this video was all the shawl changes, I loved it!!
Same!!
Tunisian is one of the first things my grandmother taught me over 60 years ago. Until I found you, I only knew the simple stitch, which I grew up calling it the Afghan stitch. I’ve definitely moved on, making several of your patterns. Your tutorials, and your book, are wonderful. Thank you for promoting this wonderful craft.
Yep! It’s called the afghan or railroad stitch. I have a really old book about it. ❤❤❤
Love that every time you show it is with a different shawl 😊
I recently met a young lady who said she was learning to crochet. I was so happy to be able to refer her to your channel for excellent tutorials. Thank you for your gifts to the world of artists, old and young, experienced and novice.
I love all your scarf, shawl, cowls you wore during this video. Beautiful and inspiring. 😊❤ you are also a wonderful teacher.
I'm a beginner (to Tunisian crochet, not "regular".) I ordered the kit you reviewed from Ali Express and literally received it just today. I'm looking forward to this episode so I can dive right in. 😄
Mine is coming the 8th of March. Can't wait. I have a lot of afghan hooks that I play with but I want to get serious.
Tunisian crochet is really easy, I think if you have knowledge of crochet. It’s so much fun. Jayda In Stitches did a Tunisian calendar blanket in 2022. All the tutorials are in her web site.
What kit is it? Do you have a link?
Did they require you to sign up for Aliexpress app to get your hooks ordered? I read the reviews n they werent all that happy inspite of the rating for the app. So i passed the opportunity to order the hooks. I can wait untill her hooks are available. But how do you like them so far?
I would have loved to have that kit but it unfortunately doesn't deliver to my address 😭
After 30+ years of crocheting I decided to try out Tunisian crochet. It was one of those awake at 4 am and the thought pops in to your head moments, but I’m not mad. I’m loving it!
I’m a crocheted and have had a Tunisian hook in my stash for at least 30 years but never learned. My 2024 goal is to learn finally. I wish you were here. ❤
I’m 75 now, but when I was young even though I crocheted (Grandma taught me), when I saw a book with how to Tunisian crochet I just assumed it was hard - I was thrown off by the name “Tunisian”. It’s foreign like learning a new language, so it will be hard. I had enough hard things in my life so I said I'll pass. There were no videos and definitely no Toni Lipsey to show me how easy it really is. After I retired and saw your videos I gave it a try and I was hooked. My favorite blanket I made is Tunisian. Love you❤️
Bonjour, je vous écris de France. J'ai commencé le crochet tunisien il y a juste quelques mois, mais vous avez raison : on devient vite addict ! J'aime beaucoup vos vidéos et j'ai même acheté votre livre bien que la barrière de la langue me freine un peu. Amicalement u vieux continent🤩👍
I learned Tunisian crochet via your TH-cam channel. I bought your book (Absolutely amazing!!!), and made the braided headband, made it a bit bigger and added more yarn to make it a cowl and then emailed you a picture of my daughter modeling the two pieces. When you emailed me back with positive feedback, I was completely blown away and felt like a school girl meeting her fave celeb!
My advice to any newbies is to learn from you! Your voice is comforting, your instructions and tutorials are simple and easy to grasp, and your glowing personality brightens up the darkest days!
Thank you, Toni, for all that you bring to the world of crafting!
The best teacher ever? Toni of course!!❤❤❤
I learned Tunisian Crochet from your video last year and absolutely love it. Got your book and a set of Tunisian crochet hooks and have started making all the projects. I really enjoy watching your videos and learning all the Tunisian stitches. If you’ve never tried it, just watch Toni’s videos, and you will become hooked. It’s very relaxing, rewarding, and addictive. Give it a try, you’re going to enjoy it!
I love tunisian crochet. I also love the garments you've made! So so gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
My mother taught my father Tunisian crochet in the 70s and then he taught it to me. I've learned some valuable tips that have made my projects look better and I've learned new stitches that have inspired new projects.
You’re amazing Toni, & we all love you (& Pepper of course 😘) Queen of crochet & of Tunisian crochet! Thank you for doing all that you do with great love 💗 xx
Your dog is adorbs, scruffy little guy. 😊
Yeeeeesssssss for the scarf changes!!!! Love it!
You make me fall in love with it again every time I watch one of your videos 😊
That's a really sweet thing to say 🥰👍🏽
I love Tunisian crochet! I came to it from knitting so my biggest challenges were the terminology and learning how to hold the yarn. I have made blankets, ponchos, sweaters, scarves, and so much more. LOVE it!
I absolutely LOVE your videos! Best around! I am a 49 year old elementary teacher with 30 years crocheting experience (mostly self taught). I LOVE the look of knitting and took classes, but it's just not for me. Tunisian is my next project! I wish you would come to NJ!! I would love to take one of your in-person classes!!
Love your quick-change in Tunisian shawls. They were all beautiful. Thanks for the tips!
I just started Tunisian crochet and coming from someone who has been doing “traditional” crochet up until now I am in LOVE with this style. To anyone nervous to start I actually think it’s much easier than traditional crochet especially when working with difficult yarn such as a stiff cotton. I am having difficulty learning how to add on to pieces that I’ve created to extend one side or another, if you have a video on that? Just found your channel and I love it so far! The craft community on TH-cam is top tier 👏 !
I have so far made a scarf and currently making a blanket in this style of crochet, thank you for your amazing videos, you really are one of the best on TH-cam
I learned Tunisian crochet from your videos and I love it...made a blanket of Tunisian horse patterns.. thank you
You are inspirational. I love your videos. And the looks your fur baby makes are priceless.
I adore Tunisian Crochet, mainly because it's so easy to do left-handed too. I always struggled with knitting, and regular crochet just didn't click with my brain, but T-C had me cranking out my first wearable garments in no time. Love it! Thanks for all your great tutorials.
Great info AND giving us a shawl/scarf fashion show?! Love it!💕
I went to fiber fair with a friend and your book and the cowl on page 77 made me pick up a new hobby. Now I'm sitting here trying to pick up how to do the foundation row and the basics so I can start the patterns in the book
Just sold a chiagoo Tunisian set to a lovely young lady a couple days ago. Gave her a brief demo and sent her to your channel to learn more. She already crochets and is mostly self taught. I learned from you and am sure she'll do excellent.
I love tunisian crochet because it's fun and it creates beautiful fabrics! I taught myself in 1988 by reading a pattern book so I could make my firstborn's special blanket. We still have it and it was so much fun to learn something new in crochet as I was going to learn life lessons as a new parent. I love it most because it looks like knitting(which I don't know how to do) and can follow a graph to make pictures and color changes easily. I also love watching your videos! Thanks!
I absolutely LOVE your channel, I just can’t get enough of your videos! Cheers from the land down under! ❤
i love tunisian crochet. i started crocheting at the beginning of 2012, and the following year, i taught myself tunisian. i love everything about it. (except maybe the curling.)
I love days that have a new TL Yarn Crafts video! I hope you have so much fun on your travels this spring!
Love the different shawls with each piece of advice 🤩
aaaaccchh! I"m so bummed, I just learned you were 5 miles away from me teaching a class and I missed it. I'm loving your channel and Tunisian crochet and thank you so much for your inspiration. xoxo
When I first tried my hand at learning Tunisian crochet it was one of your videos that I tripped over and learnt from. From there I became a subscriber. Thank you for making it easier.
I learn new Tunisian stitches with cotton yarn and then gift the new dishcloth. The textured stitches make great dishcloths
I love Tunisian crochet. I was purging and found a bunch of skeins bought for a project and decided to make a rectangular Tunisian Entrelac blanket for my livingroom. One skein matched my new couch. I also found an old pattern for a dinosaur Tunisian blanket. Squares are 12x12 and then you cross stitch the dinosaurs onto the front. Tunisian simple stitch makes it easy to make and X. I plan to sew flannel on back of completed blanket.
This is the first video of yours I've seen. Every item of yours is so beautiful and makes me want to keep at this hobby more than before. Like wow ❤
I grew up watching my Great Grandma and my Grandma crochet, but only had the chance to make one blanket with my Grandma before she passed. You videos taught me how to crochet and appreciate something I’d lost. Now my kids watch me and I’ll eventually teach them. Thank you for all of your tutorials and because of them, I think Tunisian crochet is next on my must do list!
Hey Toni
I've made a few tunisian crochet projects, and you're so right, it's EASY. The texture is beautiful! I gave away my starter tunisian hook set and invested in Knitters Pride Ginger hook set. A dream to work with.
I loved looking at you in different scarves throughout the film.
I love Tunisian. I learned it as a child. I didn’t know you could make patterned stitches until I was in my 50s. My favorite is to do the standard and then cross stitching designs on top. I have many vintage pattern books featuring these cross stitched afghans.
Cross-Stitch is excellent! If the fabric uses fine enough yarn with a small hook, you can do Crewel Work, or other types of embroidery in addition to Cross-Stitch.
I started crocheting nearly 5 years ago, about a year and a half ago, I started tunisian. I love both equally but I go to tunisian for colorwork. Not having to turn the work is a gamechanger. I used tunisian to make a piano pattern scarf and being able to carry the colors saved me so much time. I'm now making a gingham print baby blanket for my choir director who's having a baby using the same technique
Cute dog too.
I've recently started working with Tunisian Crochet and enjoy the process very much. Your videos and welcoming spirit are inspiring.
I love Tunisian crochet! (And I’m waiting with great anticipation for Toni’s hook set!!) The tip I have is to use a stitch marker in the last stitch of each row. It really helps me to find the 2 to insert the hook into before the return pass.
I absolutely LOVE Tunisian crochet! I have now made 4 Elfcoats in tks and working on my 5th. I can look daunting in the beginning but as you say it is not hard to learn at all. I've made a blanket too in the entrelac style from the middle and out as a gift that was very loved. Love your channel ❤ ❤
You taught me Tunisian Crochet. I made one scarf, and am working on another one right now. I have only done the Simple Stitch, but do plan on venturing out to the other stitches soon. ~Crafted by Joseph
Hi Toni, have you heard of this stitch? It is the half double tunisian crochet stitch. There is less curling with this stitch. It is my favorite. I enjoy watching your TH-cam tutorials. Thank you.
I first learned “crochet” from my mom. I later learned that it was Tunisian crochet. It’s always what I fall back to when I want to something familiar. Have heard of the double sided Tunisian crochet blankets? I think it was a fad several years ago.
I have tried Tunisian crochet before. Only completed a few small eyeglasses pouches. I love all the scarves you wore in this video!
Stoked for the Kansas trip!! 🥰❤ see you soon!!
Even though I always knew how to crochet from my youth, I have always been a knitter, also from my youth, because I just liked how it looked better (just a personal preference). Now, after all these years (I turn 60 this year) Tunisian crochet has made me fall in love with crochet, as has mosaic crochet, and I now seek out those crochet projects.
I love hearing that! Many think of crochet in just one way, but there are lots of techniques to fall in love with. I'm so glad you found yours :-)
I learned a basic tunisian crochet at a yarn crawl in Los Angeles in about 2015- 2016. It was very interesting and I am willing to try more again.
Greetings Toni! I thought it was just me! I earned how to do Tunisian crochet a couple of years ago and I have been doing it every since. It is so addictive! I am working on a sweater doing the half double crochet stitch and it doesn’t curl! Hopefully, I will finish by the time it gets cold.♥️♥️💐
Im a beginner to traditional and Tunisian. Im excited to learn both.
Can’t wait to see you at Threadbender in May! It will be great to finally meet you.
Doing the simple stitch of Tunisian crochet for my Sedona sweater.
I've been wanting to learn Tunisian crochet for a long time. This video was very helpful. Now I just need to get the hooks to do it.
I just love Tunisian crochet. It's so relaxing. I love the shawl you are wearing in the end I wish you could make a video. I'm a visual learner 😁
Toni, Since you are such a fan of Tunisian, you might want to delve into trying double-ended Tunisian crochet. I got really hooked on it several years ago. It creates an interesting 2-sided fabric (using 2 different yarns) and the fabric it creates has an amazing stretch to it. It's great for making cowls.
I’ve been crocheting off an on for a while and recently found your channel. Your videos are such a joy to watch and wonderfully informative. It’s made me excited for the craft in a way I haven’t been before and can’t wait to see what projects await the both of us
Love your book, I did a ripple in bulky yarn with a twisted fringe. I started tunisian many years ago 35years ago. It was a postage stamp afghan or 5 my aunt Cansada got me started today it is known as tunisian intralac.
Toni, I learned from you and bought your book! Tunisian is easy! I love the way it can look like knitting without messing with a million needles! I’m looking for some patterns for a tight weave Tunisian crochet sock. I love the idea of making my own wool socks but I don’t want to knit! Love your channel and spirit!! 😊
Wow! Your work is beautiful!!
I realized that the simple stitch felt familiar when I worked 5 sets if your Kitchen Trio as Christmas gifts. I have an unfinished afghan for my middle son which I started 8-10 years ago. It uses a 35mm tunisian crochet hook and 2 different colors of yarn. I hope to finish it soon.
I am falling in love with tunisian crochet again. I learned it when I was about 10 years old maybe. Back then it was called the afghan stitch. My grandmother bought me my first afghan crochet hook, I still have it ❤
I am currently making a blanket with the tunisian half double stitch. It’s working up so nice.
Great tutorial! the grey & white blanket - stunning!
I love tunisian crochet! This is not an ad..but I did purchase the Valari pillow is a game changer. It supports my elbows better than a pillow.
I’m going to try Tunisian crochet by doing the Pilson Blanket. I learned regular crochet at 16 and knitting quite a few years later. Your tutorials are great and I’m really looking forward to learning a new skill.
I’d love to learn. Never have done this before
I have been interested in Tunisian Crochet for a long time(about 4 years). However, I thought I needed the Tunisian hooks. I didn't know how or where to find them. (Hence, my lack of knowledge of exactly what to look for) I have practiced with a regular crochet hook & was turned off by the curling factor. But now that I am more knowledgeable about Tunisian Crochet, I might give it a try one day soon. Thank you, Toni, for all you do for your yarny community😊
Hello Tony.l love Tunisian crochet.just finished a baby blanket.in simple st.my friends.loves it.
I wish you could go into Texas. I would love to see you and maybe get my daughter to come with me to learn Tunisian crochet. It’s hard a little bit for me to help her because I’m left handed. I do know the basics of Tunisian crochet
I started my Tunisian crochet adventure with Toni's Entreat Shawl. I watched a bunch of TLYC videos on Tunisian and few in Enterlac (that is the technique in this shawl) and bought my yarn. Some would say this is more difficult than standard Tunisian, but who doesn't love a challenge - right? Now I have made a bunch of shawls. For me they are a socially acceptable blanket to take to church. The ONLY shawl anyone has ever stopped and asked about is Toni's Entreat. They admire the intricacies of it. Little do they know how simple it really is. I am now making my third version for someone from church. They pay for the yarn and I stitch. @tlyc if you are looking for a content idea - a tutorial for this would be great. I couldn't find one on your channel. If it is there - pls point me in the direction. Also, if you could also do one showing how to do it straight across for a square or rectangle and also how to decrease a CTC to go from a triangle to a square or rectangle would also be great. Just food for thought!
I haven’t been using tunisian crochet for a few months. Prior to that I was an avid crocheter who coveted knit using striped yarns. I love that I can get that same effect with tunisian! I thank you so much because most of my projects so far are from watching you!
I am so excited to join the Tunisian course and CAL with you and Michigan Fine Yarns! I learned Tunisian basics from your TH-cam videos, and have a copy of your book. I'm looking forward to learning more about some of the basic stitches. I still struggle with Tunisian Knit stitch!
Several years ago, I was part of a crochet group and our ‘leader’ had a session on Tunisian crochet. I did all right with the group, but it fell apart on my own. I’m so glad I have you now!
This was the first thing i learned while crocheting 🎉 after getting a few different stitches down in tunisian crochet every other crochet or knitting stitches seemed a little easier
I’ve done Tunisian crochet before but didn’t enjoy it until I watched your video on the different hook sets and bought a set of Clover hooks. (I like bamboo hooks in general). They’ve made Tunisian crochet so much more fun! So my advice to anyone new to TC is invest in some decent hooks, then practice! It takes time to learn a new skill, even when it’s similar to ones you know.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience! I've found that quality hooks can make or break someone's success in learning, and your story is a testament to that. Happy stitching!!
I just got back into crocheting and have been watching some of your Tunisian crochet videos! I’m super excited to give it a try!
i only know the basic Tunisian stitch so this is my first time hearing about other stitch patterns
but even just the basic Tunisian stitch already helps my crochet
i use it in tandem with tall crochet stitches to stabilize them by connecting them to the post of the previous crochet stich
this speeds up my crochet by allowing me to use double treble crochet with the stability of double crochet
not sure if this is already an existing stitch but i found it independently which i'm proud of
I am beginning and your videos are just pushing me on,, lol,, keep those tutorials coming..❤️🌻
Will do! Welcome to the channel :-)
Thank you your the best teacher ❤❤❤❤
Toni’s videos are the best, the only ones where I could learn where to put that last stitch properly!
Love, love Tunisian crochet and you! Best teacher anywhere. Thank you for sharing your love of crocheting and expertise with us! I've been crocheting for years and years but just recently learned TC from you. Again, thank you and please keep it up!
Already registered for two sessions at Miss Purl’s! So excited to meet you and learn!
I'm 62 and I know I did the stitch in my teens like 45 years ago I remember doing it, but not sure if I ever completed anything but I do have the hook and a finished blanket in my closet that I found at my mom's house after she passed away and it was my blanket as a kid, it's Tunisian (its a really detailed blanket with roses on it, and I don't know if I would have had the patience to do something like that), so its crazy that I can't remember if I made it or not, my aunt taught me to crochet and taught me the Tunisian stitch so she may have made the blanket for me. But I'm going to watch your tutorials and learn how to do it again.
what an exciting memory to draw inspiration from! love that you have a legacy of crafty women behind you. i hope you enjoy picking up Tunisian crochet again :-)
tunisian crochet is so underrated and it's so pretty and fun. also great for adhd.
OMG your book has been on my wishlist FOREVER! I didn't even know it was yours as I only just found your channel recently ❤❤❤
I haven't tried Tunisian crochet yet only because I'm trying to catch up on all the regular crochet projects I have on the go 😂 But it's definitely on my list of things I want to try. And you bet I'll be using your book! 😊
Toni, first of all, thank you for introducing me to Tunisian crochet. I love it. I am about to finish by first baby blanket using your pattern!!! I am "hooked!" I am excited about your tour. Can we talk you into coming to North Carolina, though!!!! Thank you for sharing yourself with us!
Love your enthusiasm for your craft! 😊
Love Tunisian crochet!! I've made 3 of your Lamia wrap. Love your teaching & patterns.
Hi I just learned about Tunisian crochet and I just got my Tunisian crochet hooks. They work great for knitting and crochet. I am still practicing with the Tunisian crochet stitch. Right now I am single crocheting a towel yarn blanket for my cat. This yarn is hard to work with. I did make her a peg loom blanket from this yarn. My needles are not long enough to Tunisian crochet her a blanket. I am back and forth between the single crochet and learning Tunisian crochet. This is probably my third day into it. I just made about 3 jasmine stitch hats and my granddaughter a jasmine stitch blanket.
Hi....I tried a small swatch using the Tunisian simple stitch for the first time. I'm looking to see how well it will go for a top/smock project I want to try out. I'm glad I found your channel to learn more on Tunisian crochet
Just found out today that my great grandmother was a Tunisian crocheter! My mom gave me a blanket that her grandma crocheted because my mom knew that I would be the only one of her children who would appreciate the blanket. I was really surprised to see that the entire blanket was done in TSS! I feel connected to my great grandmother in a way I haven't before. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us, Toni! Because of your channel, I was inspired to try this craft.
Hello, I truly appreciate you. You speak where I can understand
You take your time with a smile on your face. I don't know if you know it or not; but you my sister are a wonderful confidence builder. Thank you for taking your God given talents and turning them into a ministry. Blessings....
OMG I was so distracted by your quick-change shawls I had to rewind! Ahhhhh! They're all so lovely.
