Tunisian Crochet with Karen Whooley

Class Description - 

Tunisian crochet is a crochet technique in a category all of its own. WOrked in paired forward (picking up loops) and return passes (working off the loops), unique stitches of all kinds can be cfeated. If you are a knitter wanting to learn to crochet, Tunisian is the perfect way to learn to maneuver with a single hook.

If time allows, how to increase and decrease will be included as well!

About Karen: 

"I learned to crochet at my Nonna’s knee when I was 7 years old.

I was HOOKED from the start and never put the yarn and hooks down for long since then. If I’m not crocheting I am reading, cooking, or gardening. I can never just sit and do nothing."

Karen Whooley Designs started way back when as a nod to my Nonna. I started with home décor patterns. Now Karen Whooley Designs has grown into a space that supports crocheters through well-written patterns, books, and education.
