A guide to Blackwork Embroidery on Tunisian Crochet

Welcome to a creative adventure combining two beautiful crafts—Blackwork embroidery and Tunisian crochet. In this course, you’ll learn how to turn a simple Tunisian Simple Stitch fabric into something truly special by adding embroidered designs in any colors you like. With just one crochet stitch to get started, the rest of the journey is all about exploring embroidery, making this a wonderful technique for beginners as well as seasoned makers looking to try something new.

We’ll begin by building a solid foundation, covering the essential stitches in both Tunisian crochet and embroidery. From there, we’ll explore how these two crafts blend together to form striking Blackwork-style patterns. You’ll learn how to read embroidery charts, understand how they work on Tunisian crochet fabric, and even create charts of your own.

Each lesson is broken down into simple, approachable steps to help you grow your confidence. By the end, you’ll be ready to complete your own embroidered project—from choosing colors to adding the final stitch. I’ve gathered everything I’ve learned along the way to make the process smooth, enjoyable, and inspiring for you.
