Yarn Note

The yarn used in this project has been discontinued for many years. Some of you may still have it in your stash and I felt that the discontinued yarn is no reason to never offer this pattern again.

Aunt Lydia’s Denim was available in balls of 400 yards. It was a worsted weight 75% cotton/25% acrylic yarn.

After researching several yarns, I found a yarn which I believe to be a great substitute. Knit Picks Comfy Worsted which can be seen here.

Special Stitches

Tunisian Knit Stitch (TKS): Insert your hook, from front of the fabric to the back, BETWEEN the front and back vertical bars, yarn over, pull up a loop. Ensure that you’re placing your hook between the bars of the SAME stitch and not between the stitches.

Tunisian Reverse Stitch (TRS): Placing your hook BEHIND your work, insert your hook in a side-to-side motion under the back vertical bar, yarn over, pull up a loop. For the
Tunisian Simple Stitch (above), you place your hook under the front vertical bar. This is the reverse. It makes a firm
ridge on the right side of your work.

Closing the stitches: Unless instructed otherwise, all rows are closed with a typical Tunisian crochet closing as follows: chain 1, [yarn over, pull through 2 loops on hook] across. One loop remains on your hook.

Please see my Videos for the Tunisian Knit Stitch and the Tunisian Reverse Stitch.
