Thanks so much for this, Rachel!!! I have only seen something similarly innovative from Jennifer Hansen (which dates back already ten years!) but this is so much easier! Also, the stretchy cast-on was new to me. More of that, please!
Thank you, finally i found the tutorial how to join tunisian crochet without double end hook which so hard to find in my country ol shop,, i did subscribe ur channel
What a beautiful result, thank you for showing us! Is there a hat pattern for this technique? I would think a hat would look amazing. I wouldn't know how to decrease to the top, though. Do you have a pattern or instructions for decreasing using this technique?
I did not publish any hat pattern. But you are right: this technique is nice for a hat. I made a few, without any decreases. I seamed the final round and folded the top (like an origami). For the seam, have a look at my other video here: ruclips.net/video/KEtGSEqMJTs/видео.html Happy crocheting!
Thank you for taking the time to show us how to do this. I appreciate it. Could you share the name of the tunisian hooks you are using I really love them. ❤
@@RachelHenriDesign thank you. I do actually follow that account. I really love working with the aluminum hooks and would love to have a tunisian set with cables. Much appreciated.
It is a hand-dyed yarn from Le Jardin des Fibres. In France. As for the color, honestly, I don't remember. But check her website or Instagram account. She has fantastic ranges of color-changing yarns.
Love this technique - so clever! Also I have been searching for an aluminum hook set with cables but haven’t found any. Can you tell me the brand of hook you are using and where to purchase it please?
I have several brands of aluminium hooks with cables. The one on the video is from Catch_hooks (handmade in Australia). You ça also check the hooks made by DyakCraft (in the US). A set that is nice as well is from Addi Click (made in Germany).
Thanks! Can I ask whats the use of a stretchy cast-on when youre making such a rigid fabric? I mean why do you want the edge to be stretchy when the rest of it isnt.?
Tunisian crochet is not a rigid fabric. Indeed, it's not stretchy like elastane but it's not cardboard either. You can make sweaters and beanies in Tunisian crochet. A different cast on edge than simple chains is way better for necklines and similar borders because you give the fabric a soft border. What is more, this type of cast on helps fighting against curling. I hope it helps.
This is great- but I’m wondering why you don’t address the elephant in the room.. Isn’t there a way to do this without that unconnected area at the start? You acted like it wasn’t even there..I realize that it’s only a few stitches- but at least admit that it’s there…
Hi, Hannah. I'm happy you find this technique great. About the area at the start, I'm not acting like it isn't there. I usually close it with the yarn end. I find it neater. I'm sorry it bothers you. You are free to work it out differently. That's the beauty of yarn craft. No rules, great crochet.
Elephant in the room or not but I wanted to say that this is THE best method! It even works on the honeycomb stitch with two colors! Kudos!!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing this. I'm just starting to learn a little more about Tunisian.
wow, it's the best I've seen!!! Thank you
beautiful technique, extraordinary method, thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial.

The hooks are made by catch_hooks. They are handmade in Australia. You can find catch_hooks on Instagram. IMHO the best Tunisian crochet hooks ever.
@@RachelHenriDesign thank you. I do actually follow that account. I really love working with the aluminum hooks and would love to have a tunisian set with cables. Much appreciated.
This technique is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you. Do you have a video for the stretchy cast on that you mentioned?
ruclips.net/video/xB5cnwVwnwQ/видео.html Here is the link for the video in English about the stretchy Tunisian crochet cast on.🙂
Have you found this method to work equally as good with other stitches such as the knit stitch?
There are other methods with other stitches, including the knit stitch, but I'm not sure we can say they work equally as well, I'm afraid.
Very nice! Ty! What is the multicolored yarn brand and color that is first shown in the completed sample please? Ty

gorgeous yarn, would you mind telling us where you found it? Do you still remember brand/name?
The color-changing yarn is hand dyed by Le Jardin des Fibres, a French lady. You can see all the gorgeous colors she dyes on Instagram.
