Tunisian Intarsia Crochet (Advanced course)

Tunisian Intarsia is a fun technique, perfect for creating colourful pieces such as blankets, cushions and bags. It’s also satisfyingly quick to do! Tunisian Simple Stitch is great for colourwork – the stitches are almost square and work well for creating ‘picture’ blankets (also known as ‘graphghans’).

In this workshop you will learn how to work with multiple colours, manage multiple balls of yarn and how to change colours neatly on the forward and return pass.
You will also learn a ‘join as you go’ technique which allows you to work large pieces in ‘strips’. I find this a much nicer way to create large blankets as you don’t have to use a long interchangeable hook and you don’t need to manage lots of different balls of yarn at the same time! The join is also very neat and sturdy.

Requirements: A basic knowledge of Tunisian crochet is required. You need to know how to make a chain and work Tunisian Simple Stitch - these things will not be taught in the workshop.

We will be making a small square which you could use as a mug rug / plant pot coaster.

Please bring a 5mm Tunisian crochet hook and a 4mm standard crochet hook, tapestry needle, scissors.

You might want to bring other hook sizes if you are a particularly tight or loose crocheter. We will be working with a sportweight / light DK yarn.
