Beginner Tunisian Crochet with Abbeymade

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.
No pressure, no patterns to follow—just an encouraging space to explore and enjoy a new technique with expert guidance from Abbey of Abbeymade.
What You’ll Learn:
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
Skill Level:
Advanced beginner. You should be able to work a crochet chain before class—everything else, we’ll cover together!
Duration: 3 hours, in-person class
What to Bring:
6mm Tunisian crochet hook (single-ended, no cable needed)
A standard crochet hook without an ergonomic handle will also work for this class
Small quantities of two colours of 8ply (DK) yarn such as Fiddlesticks Peppin 8—choose non-splitty yarns and avoid cotton for best results
Patterns featured on this page all designed and made by Abbey: Nefta Shawl, Tesserae Jumper, Jagged Little Mosaic Shawl, Eeva shawl, Diamonds Not Pearls sweater and Tricolour T Tee
