Why you'll love it

Tunisian crochet is the perfect blend of knitting and traditional crochet—creating a unique texture that’s plush and versatile. Join designer and Tunisian crochet expert Abbey of Abbeymade for a hands-on introductory class to this stunning technique.

Are you ready to explore a new world of fibre fun? Tunisian crochet is the perfect blend of knitting and traditional crochet—creating a unique texture that’s plush, versatile, and oh-so-satisfying.

In this relaxed and hands-on 3-hour workshop, you’ll learn the foundations of Tunisian crochet by working on a series of small, manageable swatches. Rather than rushing into lots of stitch variations, we’ll slow down and focus on mastering the basics—Tunisian Simple Stitch, foundation rows, bind-offs, and how to shape your fabric with simple increases and decreases. You'll also discover how colour changes can completely transform your work.

  • Tunisian foundation row and how it sets the stage
  • Tunisian Simple Stitch—the heart of the technique
  • Bind off methods for a neat, finished edge
  • Simple increases and decreases to shape your fabric
  • Playing with colour changes to add visual interest

Class Highlights:

  • A beginner-friendly, swatch-based approach so you can explore without overwhelm
  • Guidance on materials and technique to avoid common pitfalls
  • Abbey’s top tips for achieving great texture and tension
  • A supportive environment where no question is too small
