MORE ON TUNISIAN

1 Comment

Once you’ve checked out the book I reviewed, Tunisian Crochet by Sharon H. Silverman, you might want to find some more information about tunisian crochet on the ‘net.  Lucky you!  I’ve done the research for you.  There’s a lot of resources available.  While I LOVE having a book to hold onto as an easy reference in my lap and on my bookshelf, I also love this infinite library on my desk – the one we call the internet.

So, here are some sites you might want to check out:

ARNie at chezcrochet has this for you:

There are stitch tutorials for a bunch of things you’ll want to try out and links to sites with free patterns to practice on real projects.

There are free patterns for a scarf and a shawl at this site:

Kim Guzman, always one of my favorite resources, has a free tunisian hat pattern and this absolutely lovely afghan that can’t be reproduced in any other form of crochet.  Kim’s patterns are well written and quite inexpensive.

And, what about this great sweater from Dora Ohrenstein?  It’s available as a free pattern:

Don’t forget one of the best resources online for crocheters – http://crochetpatterncentral.com/search.php

This link will take you to the page containing lots of free tunisian patterns.  Should be something there for everyone!
