Tunisian Waves are super easy to make, all it takes is to combine stitches of different height (Tunisian Reverse Stitches and Tunisian Double Crochet Stitches) to build a wave pattern. This is a very simple technique and it looks best when made with 2 or more different colors!
The hook
There are a bunch of different Tunisian crochet hooks available for purchase. You can read about the hooks I use here. Because of the nature of Tunisian crochet stitches, I recommend using a hook that is at least 2 sizes larger than the recommended hook on the yarn.
