Tackling Tunisian Crochet

I've tried Tunisian crochet in the past and obviously missed a step or two, because the results were unlovely.

I found a couple different sizes of afghan hooks and messed with it until I found something I was satisfied with.

Here's a largish lap robe that finally came up to my standards.

 

 

Since I sewed the strips together with a row of single crochet I decided to make a ridge on the border as well to give the finished piece a more unified look.

 

 

I first worked a row of double crochet around the sides and then I did a row of single crochet as front post stitches.

 

 

It's warm. Each row came out with the right number of stitches. I'll do something fancier the next time I try this kind of crochet.

 

Thanks for visiting with me,
