Tunisian Simple Stitch (tss): Insert hook in a side to side motion (right to left for right-handers or left to right for left-handers) under front vertical bar, yarn over, pull loop through. Click here for further stitch instruction.
Tunisian Purl Stitch (tps): With yarn in front, insert hook from side-to-side under indicated front vertical bar, yarn over, pull loop through. Click here for further stitch instruction.
Tunisian Two Together (tss2tog): Insert hook from side to side (right to left for right-handers and left to right for left-handers) under TWO front vertical bars at the same time, yarn over, pull loop through.
Tunisian Chain Back Bar Stitch (tchbs): Insert hook from front to back under the horizontal bar and pull loop through. In this pattern, it’s easy to spot since it closes three stitches together. The loops will be showing very clearly.
Gauge
22 stitches for 11 rows measures 4″; each chevron measures about 4″ across
Skill Level
Intermediate. It’s helpful to have some experience in Tunisian crochet since being able to “read the stitches” makes this easier.
Notes
Project is made flat. It’s helpful, although not crucial, to have a pliable cord on the hook so the loops can be better distributed. There may be slight curling at the bottom which was easily removed with a light blocking.
Stitch Multiple
To change the size of your project, chain a multiple of 20, plus 19.
