Tunisian with a Twist™ introduces you to the fun and versatile world of cro-knit (also known as crochet on the double). In this 2-hour hands-on class, you’ll discover how to use a double-ended hook to create fabric that looks and feels like knitting but is made entirely with crochet techniques. We’ll cover 4 different stitches step-by-step, giving you a solid foundation to explore this technique further in your own projects. Whether you’re brand new to Tunisian crochet or looking to expand your skills, you’ll love how this twist on tradition opens up new textures and possibilities. By the end of class, you’ll have confidence with your hook, a set of swatches to reference, and plenty of inspiration for what comes next!
