Tunisian Crochet Tutorial – Yarn Over 2

While searching for different stitches in Tunisian crochet, I stumbled upon this one which I found very interesting. It uses a yarn over to create a beautiful pattern. It and can be built by lining up the yarn overs on top of one another or by staggering them. This tutorial is about yarning over 2 stitches but this technique can be used for 3 or more stitches as well.

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.

Curling

The fabric built with this stitch curls slightly. You can try using a larger hook or block the fabric to fix it.
