I mean if you only have a single pair of scissors, you'll never knit either. Tunisian crochet needs its tools. Won't see me building a bed frame, I don't own a saw.
I am new to Tunisian crochet but I am a longtime knitter and several year crocheter. I cannot wrap my brain around why you stop three or four stitches before the end of the row and turn back. When do you pick up those stitches? How does it become in the round when you were going back-and-forth instead of like when you knit in the round? Thank you! It seems like once I get the hang of this, it will be pretty easy. I'm just having a hard time wrapping my brain around how this becomes a round.
Hi! Sorry for the delay in response. You always want to leave a few loops on your hook so that you don't accidentally bind off. In Tunisian crochet, your forward pass hook is always moving forward and picking up loops, where as your return pass hook is always dropping loops. With Tunisian in the round, it's like working in a spiral. I'm working on a tutorial for this, but in the meantime, check this one out: th-cam.com/video/h59Z8Pfnpa0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xTmkw-pf4aty5StZ
Such a pretty stitch pattern. I have two skeins of BFL that will be perfect for this pattern! Thanks for sharing this tutorial!
I find it intimidating as well. What if we dont have a double-ended crochet hook or 2 of the same hooks to connect to each other?

It does require two hooks or a double ended hook. Depending on your gauge, you may be able to use two similar sized hooks - like a 5.5 mm and a 5 mm.

Beautiful ❤️ but I find Tunisian in the round very intimidating. But I'm going to give this a try. Thank you.
I hope it goes well!
