Hi, same here I'm 81 years ,and this is my first time doing tunisian crochet. I crochet a lot. But I want something different. I saw a pattern in a crochet magazine, at the doctors office, several years ago. Now I found the pattern. I'm scared , but with the LORD'S help I will be ok.

I am Tunisian (nationality) and this is the first time that I learn that it's a thing! My mom taught me crochet when I was a teenager but I never gave it much thought.. I thought that's the norm, that's how it's done everywhere..

Stumbled on this by accident and was so very impressed with your kind and friendly style of teaching, not too fast or slow, great video. But best of all is your smooth as butter voice and no synthetic “music”. I rarely stay with videos to the end, but did here even though I am familiar with Tunisian.

I agree with your sentiments! She explains things perfectly and shows everything at a perfect pace, up close, and with no wasted time on irrelevant information. I completely understand the whole process...now it's just a matter of practice and learning how to control the tension in the yarn and develop a rhythm!

I learned how to crochet exclusively by KZread tutorials in 2020 when COVID hit. This is by far the best tutorial I've ever watched! YOU my friend are a fantastic teacher! Thank you for this beautiful skill! 💕

i am now the proud owner of some foundational knowledge of Tunisian crochet!! thank you!!!

This is, by far, the best tutorial I have seen.

My top tip for beginners is listen to everything Toni says and you'll be fine. I was so nervous when I first tried Tunisian crochet, but Toni makes *everything* so easy and explains everything carefully, and clearly. I've been Tunisian crocheting for nearly 3 years now, and I still go back to Toni's beginners play list every once in a while, because it helps me to stay confident in my craft - and also listening to Toni explaining anything crochet is always a joy. Thank you Toni.

with 56 seconds left, i mastered that easy stitch. Very informative, and I appreciate it when the procedure is explained step by step. I'm an avid Crochet'er, at 40+ years, and I make some incredible stuff, but I always wanted to learn the basics of this stitch! Thank you...

I’m so sorry for the loss of your sweet fur baby. 😿 I’m a cat lover and I have 6 fur babies and I love them dearly. 💜🙏🏻 I do appreciate you doing this video…I haven’t done Tunisian crochet in several years. This was a nice refresher on how to get started. Thank you for sharing this.

Such a beautifully clear and helpful video! I've been knitting for 63 years but am intrigued by the texture in Tunisian knitting, as well as the fact that once I get used to it, I can complete projects faster! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your tutorials and trying my hand at this technique!

I am what i would call an advanced crocheter. I know a lot of techniques and about 20 years experience. I have been wanting to learn tunisian for a long time. Your explanations are exceptional. Your descriptions are clear and concise. thank you

You nailed it, I don't like being a beginner. But if anyone can teach me Tunisian, you can and you did - I can't believe that I actually was able to do this simple stitch swatch. I am not convinced that I can take on a big project, but I will take your course and give it a try. It's never too late to take on a new skill. Thank you Toni!

Thank you for this tutorial. I’m a knitter but started with crochet and always found standard crochet a struggle. This feels like the best of both worlds. I’m already hooked! ❤

I learned this style of Afghan stitch style back in the 70’s with my mother. We taught ourselves from a book together and we both loved making things using these long metal hooks. We both crocheted and knitted but loved using this new style of mixing both together. This tutorial is so well done and I really love revisiting this again and making amazing projects again using this Tunisian technique. Thank you so much Toni for making this amazing video tutorial. 👍🏼🥰❤️🧶🤠

As a Tunisian crochet for several years, I find I always draw interested viewers when I crochet in a group. They always ask “How can I learn that?” I show them of course, but then I always refer them to your videos for somewhere to go for refresher and more info. Tunisian crochet is so calming and relaxing. I recommend it everywhere I go.

I am sooooo sorry to hear about Peanut Butter. I know that was your special baby. We had to put down our dog and it was a very hard thing to do. Thank you for sharing with us.

Thank you for the video, rest in peace to your angel fur baby. Thank you for giving them a great life

Hello from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤ I've been crocheting for many (many!) years and have always wanted to learn Tunisian Crochet. The KZread God offered me your video tonight and I'm diving in! As soon as this video is over, I'm going to see where I can find your book!

All hail the Woman King of Tunisian Crochet! This video takes me down memory lane from when I first found your channel. I had seen a blanket made in a stitch I could not identify and discovered it was the simple stitch. Did a Google search, found your blog and then your channel. Been learning from you ever since. 🙂 PS- so sorry to hear about Peanut Butter. I know how much you adored that kitty.

Awww RIP Peanut Butter 😔 Sending prayers to you and your husband. Losing a fur baby is never ever easy. Thank you for creating this beautiful tutorial 💜💜 we definitely appreciate you Toni!!!!

Amazing tutorial. I’ve been crocheting for 50, granny squares. I’m bored. I’m so glad I found this video and to get started on Tunisian crocheting. Thank you so much.

I've been knitting/crocheting for 60 years and have been wanting to go back to Tunisian Crochet. Haven't done it in years. Made numberless afghans in the past. I love your presentation and will be popping in for your help on a regular basis. Thanks NancyS

Thank you Toni, I started Tunisian crocheting 35 years ago and then got busy with life. Saw a Tunisian crochet book a couple of years back and couldn't remember a thing. I was fortunate to find your videos and got started again and I am in the middle of 3 different projects. Love your book and videos for reference. Thank you again.

Great tutorial! But I am sooooo sorry for your loss of your beloved Peanut.😿 Such a sweet kitty.

I am a life-long knitter and crocheter and was introduced to Tunisian crochet a few years ago. I really enjoyed learning it but I haven't done it in awhile so I needed a quick refresher. This video is excellent and I am excited to continue my journey with Tunisian crochet. You are a great teacher! I intend to use your other videos to learn new stitches. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

I've been doing crochet for years, but while looking at Christmas gift ideas, found a pattern that required tunisian crochet. I purchased everything I needed and watched a couple of videos and attempted to start 😂. It was a bust and I almost gave up, until I found you. Now I'm well on my way into my project and loving how easy tunisian crochet is. Thank you so much

18:52 You made this quick and painless! Also just the way you teach is amazing thank you!!!!

I have often wondered how to do Tunisian crochet but have never found out where I could learn how to do it. You're a wonderful teacher so thank you. I now know how to crochet this way and at 76 I have learned something new!! Thank you!!

I love that Tunisian stitch, I'm glad that I finally saw you do this stitch. Because I have seen it and i always wonder how to do it. Thanks, you are a good teacher. Mrs. Essie

I learnt to crochet last year at 70 Yr old. I did the basic blanket stitch, I have made numerous blankets from king size to small ones. I have looked at other Tunisian methods. I didn't believe I could do this, we'll after watching this tutorial I've actually done it. Your brilliant thank you. 17:13

You are the ABSOLUTE BEST instructor. And I have watched many videos trying to understand. Thank you

This is the only Tunisian technique tutorial that has made sense to me. Thank you for the great instruction.

I’m so sorry to hear that one of your precious fur babies has crossed over the rainbow bridge, I’m a crazy cat lady too and completely understand how heartbreaking this loss can be. Thank you so much for your easy to follow Tunisian crochet guide. ❤

Hi Toni - I was very touched by your Peanut Butter tribute....what a gorgeous fur baby!!!! I too lost a beloved fur baby early this year and cherish the memories. 💜😻💜 Loved your "Learn Tunisian in under 15 mins" video! Thank you, thank you for the great video lessons on crocheting, especially Tunsian!! I started learning this new craft in January and have just graduated to my first set of Lantern Moon hooks, a wonderful gift from my hubby for my birthday last month!!

You are the go to teacher especially when it comes to Tunisian crochet 👍🏿

Finally! A straight left edge of the work!! Yours is so straight!!! Love this lesson!! Now I can finally complete a square that's not lopsided!! Thanks

I've been crocheting (dabbling really) on and off since I was at least 12 years old, a dear aunt taught me (I'm in my 60s now). But since finding you and your channel a spark of excitement has turned into "I can't get enough!", especially after this video (I LOVE THIS TECHNIQUE, OMGOSH). Thank you for your wonderful videos and for sharing your gift of crocheting and teaching!! God bless and keep sharing your gifts!

I've learned to crochet and knitting on long construction nails. I was that poor. Now , i have lots of ustensils to my disposition. Love your teaching. Thank you for sharing ❤

Wow! You are an incredible teacher!!! Not only did you have clear and precise instructions, but your voice and presentation are just lovely! I smiled so much just listening to your tone. Thank you for this series!!

You are such a terrific teacher with such pleasant personality. I feel blessed to have found your tutorials online!

Got some Tunisian crochet hooks for Christmas, and came straight here. Lo and behold, this tutorial made it easy. It’s like you read my mind about what errors I might make, thanks! It was relaxing and fun.

Omg!! My Romanian grandma taught me this when I was little! I didn't remember the name of this style and I finally found it!!

I recently got back into regular crochet, and I had NO IDEA this existed. I am so excited to start learning this new method!

I knit and regular crochet and have for decades. This is my first attempt at learning Tunisian Crochet and you are one of the most clear and succinct teacher I’ve ever watched. You made it easy and I know the terminology and I understood what I was doing. :) You are a gifted teacher.

I’ve been crocheting for 47 years and love learning new stitches. I am also a left-handed crochet-er; drove my aunt nuts because my work was “backwards” 😉. When I saw the Tunisian stitch I knew I had to try it - it is so neat and tidy. You explained and demonstrated it so well I know I can give it a try. I’ll let you know how it turns out. Thank you! 🦋

I've been crocheting for a long time, but haven't ventured into the Tunisian style. Now I want to. Thank you for all of your fine videos. You are a joy to watch! Elise, over at Le Petit St. Crochet highly recommended your book on Tunisian Crochet just yesterday. I will recommend it to our local library! Keep on crocheting for us all out here in KZread land. 💗

I’m primarily a knitter but I do some basic crochet and have wanted to learn Tunisian for some time. This little tutorial was PERFECT!!! So clear in visual and verbal instruction, I can’t wait to start a new project with this beautiful simple stitch!

This was satisfyingly easy to pick up. I’ve been watching you for at least a year now, probably more like 2 years, and had this saved for the day that I was intrigued enough to try it out. Today was that day. Thank you for your helpful and inspiring videos!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Being a Left-handed Crocheter and working this technique has been a great challenge. However,❤ with your gentle and instructive teaching style, I have finally learned this. I'm cooking now! 😂😂😂😂

I love that you went into detail about the parts of the process that can be difficult for beginners, and didn't speed up any of the crochet footage. Your clarity and approach to teaching is a step above the vast majority of youtube tutorials I've seen! One thing that I may include just because I'm struggling with this right now, I think every tutorial should start with good hand/body stretches to do to avoid pain and injuries. I think preventing these issues is better than some one picking up a new craft then later having to look up how to manage pain. I think if more people started making this a focus and really stressing how important it is to stretch before starting a crochet/knit project, that could help a lot of people. Thanks again for your clear tutorial! I feel ready to tackle this new craft, and much love to your family over the loss of Peanut Butter. My fluff babies are hanging out with me right now.

Just completed my first tiny little piece. I LOVE IT, THANK YOU❤🎉 Also peanut butter looked like the most special furball❤❤

YOU ARE WONDERFUL!! Its so hard to understand instructors because i have dyslexia and it gets confusing for me. But your instructions were so easy for me to understand. You also explained WHY you do it too! ❤❤

I haven’t done this stitch for over 40 years.. it came back to me pretty quickly.. thank you. Your a great teacher!! Love your videos… very grateful

Brilliant, thank you Toni! This could not have been clearer, you are a fabulous teacher.

As always young lady, you produce a fun, exciting and easy to follow tutorial video!!! Thank you very much for helping this old man to learn a new craft and being able to relax and enjoy life again through this string therapy!!! May you have a blessed week and find much joy in your surroundings!!!

How have I never known about this??? Thank you for teaching me this beautiful new stitch in such a lovely and approachable way!

Thank you for simplifying this without drawing out the process. Rockstar status!

Thank you for making this easy to follow for people with learning disabilities like myself. I’ve seen countless videos trying to explain this method of crochet, but I was finally able to grasp it with your video. I’ll definitely be recommending this to my other crafty friends 😊

You showed the last stitch beautifully. This was the exact tutorial I needed! Thanks so much!

This is the best tutorial I have ever watched and I can genuinely say that I've learned a new crochet skill in exactly 15 minutes. Thank you for such a fantastic tutorial with clear instructions and easily identifiable stitches! Excellent! Chefs kiss!

Learnt this from a womans magazine in the uk back in the seventies and now I’ve remembered it thanks to you! x

You are such a good teacher! I love all your videos ❤

I'm super grateful for this! I learned knitting in 2021, taught myself crochet last year (with your help!) and I'd wanted to do Tunisian, but was nervous to start. Recently I was blessed when a friend gifted me her late mother's stash, which included a partly done Tunisian project that I would love to finish, but I do not have any knowledge! Lucky me to have been watching you already, which means I can watch this video! Time to settle in and get learning ♥

I have subscribed to your channel as I know where I most want to go for help! Thank you so much for a VERY clear and enjoyable lesson!

Looking forward to learning this type of knit/crochet with your amazing instructions. I am 75 years young. My motto, “You are never too old to learn a new hobby”.
