CROCHET

The “Honeycomb of Love” alternates the Tunisian simple stitch (tss) and the Tunisian purl stitch

(tps) across each forward pass and return creating a very flat and dainty pattern. All Tunisian

crochet is worked on the front side only and works with multiple loops on a Tunisian crochet

hook. No turning is involved. Although Tunisian Crochet historically has held many names it

holds the title Tunisian Crochet or is equally called Afghan Crochet. It is said to have come into

popularity during the Victorian Era. Today, Tunisian Crochet is gaining more popularity and is

being accepted as another great form of crochet.

Abbreviations: Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS), Tunisian Purl Stitch (TPS)

KNIT

Our second installment of blocks bends the knitty laws of physics when we turn a lovely dou-

ble-sided chevron into a straight line. Simple knits and purls illustrate how rearranging the

stitches irons the jagged edges to become a smooth line. Nothing really changes as we grow the

fabric vertically., with the exception of transitions. The row height of each repeat is essentially

the same. Some things, though are very different. Most notable is the way a chevron stitch pat-

tern is flat, while the straight lines force the fabric into springy welts. We’ll be able to compen-

sate for the harmonica effect formed by welts at upper end of the square with blocking.
