This TOFT branded bamboo hook is for a technique known as Tunisian (Afghan) crochet.
Tunisian crochet is a craft that creates a fabric resembling a more traditional knitted piece, rather than crochet as it is named. Also known as 'Afghan crochet', Tunisian crochet uses an elongated hook, usually with a cable and stopper attached to the end and holds multiple loops on the hook in a style similar to knitting. Some might say Tunisian crochet is a hybrid between knitting and crochet, and you can learn how with Kerry Lord's #tofttunisiancal on Instagram @toft_uk where she takes you through the basics of the craft to make the Trellis Headband (kit sold separately).
For Tunisian crochet in the round, you will need a cable and two hooks, both of which can be added above. For standard Tunisian crochet, you will need one hook and a cable.The cable comes with an end cap (or stopper) and a cable key included.
WE RECOMMEND: Projects that use the Tunisian crochet technique can be found across our website. These include the Trellis Headband, Ashler Snood, Killick Wristwarmers, Scooter Cowl, Strawberry Wristwarmers and Tower Beanie. Find the #tofttunisiancal on Instagram @toft_uk where Kerry Lord takes you through the basics of Tunisian crochet.
