This is my favourite method for working in the round with a cabled tunisian hook. I did not invent this technique, I learned it from Ben Burchall and I think even he didn't invent it!
I use this 'connecting stitch' method for nearly all my 'in the round' Tunisian Crochet patterns. It does not leave a 'jog' in the rounds which is great when working in stripes - such as in mosaic.
You can apply this technique to any in the round Tunisian Crochet pattern.
Please note there are other methods for making a connecting stitch and you can also work in the round with a double ended rigid or cabled hook.

Thank you, I think this is exactly what I was looking for. Then you can Tunisian Crochet in the round with only one ball of yarn
This is exactly what I needed!!! Thank you! And so happy it was quick to find this video on youtube!! ❤
This is a really clear, easy to follow tutorial in joining Tunisian in the round! I’ve been struggling with the concept using a double ended hook-this makes much more sense to me. Now I can use my cabled hooks! Thank you!!
You are very welcome! Perhaps it's time for me to do a demo of the double ended hook way as well. I don't use that method much these days because it won't work with the current designs I'm doing. There are some good tutorials for that method though, I encourage you to persevere - look up Aklori - she has some info about it already.
@@AbbeyMade Ok thanks for that. 😃
this is great! I've been trying to find a tutorial about using a cable to do tunisian in the round because none of the yarn stores in my area sell double ended tunisian hooks! I hate buying from Amazon, but that was going to be my only option. Thanks!
You’re welcome! There are couple of other methods but this one is my favourite.
Thank you for this tutorial 😊 now I can Tunisian crochet a Christmas 🎄 stocking ☃️❄️🎄
Thanks for showing this technique again. I've also learned it on Ben's channel and absolutely love it :D
you are most welcome!
Fantastic. Usually I use doubled-ended hooks, but this way is better if I don't want to work with two strands of yarn.
Thank you for sharing this…I was hoping I could Tunisian crochet in the round…with once color…I am loving this method…and I think it will work for my newest pattern or item, I’m working on.
It’s like using magic loop in knitting.
Ok cool. I don't knit at all so it's good to know what the parallels are.
Thanks, it's really helpful ❤ I would suggest that you first connect the very first chain of air loops as if knitting with a regular crochet, and then continue like Tunisian knitting, then it will be more neat at the connection point
Thanks for sharing…I have a new pattern in mind, this will work perfectly 🩷
Thanks for sharing, this will be great for arms of a jumper or tshirt etc. I was thinking that the joining stitch is simpler to a knit decrease 😊
I use it for most in the round things now. Like entire jumpers. Yes I agree, similar to tks2tog.
@@AbbeyMade I've just started to learn how to knit. Currently making a baby cardigan for a charity group project my look knit and crochet group are doing
This is genius, thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for this video! I was surprised when you mentioned Ben Burchall. I remember his very creative slip stitch working from years ago. I'd lost track of him. I'm glad to see he's still around and doing Tunisian Crochet these days. I checked out what he said about the method you demonstrate. He provided a link to a Russian crocheter's video showing this method though her joining isn't nearly as simple as yours. Ben is on RUclips, Tunisian Crochet Channel. His video about tunisian crochet in the round is ruclips.net/video/mXdHLPGMmak/видео.html
Amazing!! I love this technique! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome Jenny!
Thanks for this amazing video tutorial. It's been hectic for a newbie to find current videos. Would you consider doing a video using this method with two colors? I am a visual learner. Also the various stitches that works well for this method. I have experimented with the seed stitch and honeycomb but would like to know others. This is my favorite in the round stitch. Thanks.
If you’d like to use a connecting stitch with other stitches, it will just come down to experimentation. I only make videos that are relevant to my designs at the time so I won’t be making more of this technique specifically unless I need to.
Working with two colours is exactly the same as this method, you just change colours when you want to.
thank you so much for this much needed video!
Could you also demonstrate other methods where the jog also continues? It would really help me ❤
What do you mean about a continuing jog?
Thankyou so much for such a great tutorial, I just have one question, how does the stitch count stay the same when you knit the two stitches together at the connecting point every time, it doesn’t decrease? Thankyou, I love tunisian crochet and this technique would be so useful for a project I have in mind, the explanation is probably so simple, I feel silly for asking😅😅
No this is a good question and thanks for asking. It’s not a decrease because you will still work into the second stitch that you’ve connected to like you normally would if you were working flat. The connecting stitch forms the same purpose as the “chain 1” at the start of a standard return pass, it’s simply connecting to those sts instead. Does that make sense? Try it and see!
It makes perfect sense now!! Thankyou so much for replying!!
..😅

Why isn’t the join line diagonal, if you’re starting the return pass 2 stitches farther in for each row? Mine is diagonal! 🤔
Hi, that sounds like you've incorporated a decrease into your row somewhere. I think you should go back to your first connecting stitch and try again. The connecting stitch is simply a connecting stitch, not a decrease. You don't start your return pass 2 sts further in at any time. There will always be the same number of sts (vertical bars) on each row. So, make sure your vertical bars on each row are the same number - have you skipped any? It sounds like you might have. You may also benefit from reading the blog post on the link in the video description. There are a couple of photos there that might help.
What is the brand of hook you use? Love the pointed tip! Can’t find that in aluminum anywhere near me.
That would be a Catch hook - they’re handmade by my husband. You can follow him here instagram.com/catch_hooks?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
His hooks are custom made and I think they’re the best around.
Hi, Can you do this method using Two Tunisian needles and the cable??? I need help on this please. Thx Faye
@@faye8011 no, not this method. Two hooks, or a double ended hook works in a spiral. That is a different technique. I haven’t made a video for that but others have. Try KnitterKnotter.
Thanks for sharing❤. May I ask where you purchased your hooks from?
This is a bespoke Catch hook. Available on IG and Facebook. Here’s the IG link.

I'm working on a sweater with Tunisian knit stitch- do you think this is worth the method for my sleeves? I've been trying to make it as 'seamless' as possible
You could try it. I haven’t used this with tks - others probably have. I think it’s worth a try. There are other methods of connecting as well.
If you're using two cakes - one for forward pass one for return - do you switch cakes for the connecting stitch, or after it?
I would change colours before making the connecting stitch. This is because the connecting stitch is part of the return pass.
Hello. Would you mind sharing a link to this exact brand of crochet hook/needle? Thank you
These aren’t commercial hooks, they’re hand made. You can order them via @catch_hooks on instagram
@@AbbeyMade Hello again, thanks so much for the speedy reply and info! Def. Ordering one!
How do you join two colour Tunisian crochet in the round, i.e. forward pass in one colour and return pass in another colour?
You can use the same method. change colours on the actual connecting stitch.
@@AbbeyMade I use a short 15cm double ended wooden Tunisian hook. I do the second colour return pass as I go along. I don’t see how I could do they, hence asking how.
@@natford8271 that’s a different technique entirely. You can still use two colours using the method shown in the video but it’s different to what you’re doing.
Can you do this without a cable too?
No not this technique. There are other techniques for double ended hooks.
Where can I buy these hooks?

😳 ooo!
What's the name of the hook?
