The beauty of this technique is that you will use just one stitch, the American Single Crochet. Learn 6 variations with just this one stitch. Class is broken up into 2 weeks. Learn 3 stitches each week.

Learn a special lace stitch pattern in Tunisian crochet to form a beautiful lacy afghan. Students are welcome and encouraged to use the same lace stitch pattern in other projects, such as a scarf or shawl, should they be interested in something other than an afghan.

The stitches and stitch pattern used have been designed to rid you of that annoying curling that is so easily found when learning Tunisian crochet. Like my Tunisian Pillows class, I'll show you yet another way to avoid that curl!

Two separate texts will be posted on the first day of class. The first will be an individual tutorial for the stitches. The second will be the pattern itself. (Yes, a full pattern designed by Kim Guzman will be included in your class fee!)

Teacher: Kim Guzman (crochetkim). Length: 1 week. Cost: $10.
