Until the twenty-first century, Tunisian crochet was a little-used style
of crochet that was considered relatively simple and unadventurous.
Fortunately, nowadays, that has all changed. The Art of Tunisian Crochet
offers a comprehensive exploration of what is an often underestimated
technique that combines both knitting and crochet principles. The book
takes the reader from the technique's relatively young history,
dispelling common misassumptions, to the exciting possibilities
available to the crafter today. This beautifully illustrated book
includes the origin of Tunisian crochet; advantages and disadvantages of
materials and equipment; the limitless variations of the basic Tunisian
simple stitch; achieving the unexpected ethereal look of Tunisian lace;
exploring a creative variety of texture and colour, and finally,
incorporating Tunisian crochet with other crafts.
