There is elastic ribbing in Tunisian crochet. It can be made with Tss or Tks and their opposites in alternating rows. You have to make it sideways, but it is elastic. Tks more than Tss.

You put the live loop on a stitch marker and attach the stitch marker to a completed stitch or a couple of those nearby. Then it can't be pulled through. The hook doesn't stay attached to the work.

Because the construction is unusual, I made a video to go with the pattern. It shows how to make a mini version of the hat www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wyuq...

Looks great!

That's so cute!

Found some bright yarn, hopefully it will look good in the video. I'll try to film it tomorrow.

Yes, and it contributes to the same fundraiser.

Love it! That honey color works perfectly for this pattern.

So beautiful! Love how each color got to shine in both stitch patterns.

Have you only used long straight hooks? Just like with long needles, unless you rest the project on a surface, you hold the entire project up and your arms work extra hard.

But even when resting the project on a table, for example, I find that the long shaft digs into the back of my hand.

Ooh, are those steel needles? They are my favorite. But I recommend that you do Tunisian crochet with some shorter hooks (potentially with cables as well), as those long hooks tend to make one's hands hurt.

What a beauty! Does the fluff smell like dog? Will you blend it with some sheep wool or just try to spin as is?
Tunisian crochet is awesome, some say it's halfway between knitting and crochet. It's great for using yarn as a single, but it has to be in an Z twist for good fabric.

If you can't catch them live on Zoom, the future discussions will also be posted as replays on the FOYAL channel:

Start with the one with Tunisian simple stitches worked straight from a long foundation row, if it exists.

A block a day might be a bit too ambitious if you've never done Tunisian, but if you have time and take it slowly (to prevent hand strain as you're learning a new skill), might work.

I'm excited and made the studio pretty for your viewing pleasure (as in, I placed all the projects on my rack in rainbow order).

This one's regular crochet, Fiona 😅 I did try to make this stitch pattern in Tunisian crochet, but it was not yet successful. Thank you for sharing ❤️

Aw, yeah, that one takes forever. But it looks great 😄

Looks great, congratulations! Did you use regular crochet for the ribbing?
