Tunisian Sampler Scarf CAL – Part 1
To kick off the CAL we’re going to begin with one of the basic stitches of tunisian crochet. It’s called the tunisian simple stitch (TSS), but it is also known by a few different names. Here are a few:
- TSS – tunisian simple stitch
- afghan simple stitch
- tunisian basic stitch
Let’s begin…..
Section 1 – TSS
ch 20,
Row 1: crochet in back ridge of beginning ch (see fig.1), insert hk in 2nd ch from hook, yo, pull up a loop, *insert hook in next ch, yo, pull up a loop, repeat from * across leaving all loops on hook (see fig. 2). (20 lps on hk)
To complete row 1: yo, pull through 1st loop on hook, * yo, pull through 2 loops, repeat from * across.
Fig. 1 – Back Ridge of chain, “V” is on bottom of hook
Fig. 2 – all loops on hook
Row 2: skip 1st vertical bar (directly below loop on hook), * insert hook under next vertical bar (see Fig. 3), yo, pull up a loop, repeat from * across to last bar, insert hook through both loops of last stitch (see Fig. 4). (20 lps on hk)
To complete row 2: yo, pull through 1st loop on hook, * yo, pull through 2 loops, repeat from * across until there is 1 loop left. (see Fig. 5)
Fig. 3 – vertical bar
Fig. 4 – insert hook through both loops of last stitch
Fig. 5 – end of row
Row 3 – 12: Repeat Row 2.
Finished TSS
Happy Crocheting!
I like it..my hook is a G which is to small but it will work to learn and I will get larger when I can find it to order..thank so much! :)
How often will you be posting lessons?
Bev,
I’ve added another post. I’m planning on approx. 4 a week. I’ll skip tomorrow and have 2 more posts on Thursday & Friday.
OOOhhh as soon as i have finished my latest project I might have a go at this :-) thanks ever so much!
I must be doing something wrong. I got to the third row and it’s curling. Is it supposed to curl??
Tunisian tends to curl a bit. If it’s curling a lot sometimes it helps to go up a hook size. Did you use a hook at least 2 or 3 sizes than what the yarn recommends?
I don’t even know what size the hook is. I believe it’s a h hook. I only have that one and crochet hooks and 4 ply yarn
i cant find parts 2-4.please help
Hi Gwen,
Here is a link to a post that has all the parts in one spot. I’ve also added a link button in the sidebar to find it easier. Thanks!

Are you using 2 hooks?
No, I was just using the 2nd one to show stitch placement.
