Tunisian Crochet Abbreviations (you can click on links to review the “how to” for each stitch):
Ch 30.
Set up row: Pull up through the back ridge of each ch across — 30 sts (Noted as the first row of circles).
Work pattern as charted above taking note of the following:
• when working your forward pass, the loop on your hook counts as the first stitch (indicated as a circle in the chart)
• the last stitch is made through the two end loops of row below (also indicated as a circle in the chart).
• a basic return pass should be used throughout (i.e., yo, draw through 1 loop, *yo, draw through 2 loops, rep from * across).
• Row 35 should be worked as a bind off row; work Trs bind off (Noted as the last row of circles).
KEY: Circle = first/last stitch; Color = Trs; White = Tks.
Block finished dishcloth if desired (-> How to Block Knit and Crochet Items).

I have been working furiously trying to learn this Tunision style of crocheting. I am pretty confident that I have all of the stitches down. Just sat down at my computer with my yarn, hook, and glasses, and I have come to a screeching halt. I do not know how to read charts!! I don’t know what the circles mean, or what the white and shaded blocks mean. I searched your blog for written directions, but could not find anything. Help!

Hi Sandy 🙂 The white blocks are Tunisian knit stitch and the colored blocks are Tunisian reverse stitch. Here is the full key: Circle = first/last stitch; Color = Trs; White = Tks. Hope that helps!

I’ve only ever tried TSS so I’m looking forward to learning new tricks with my hook. Thank you

I am left handed. Can I learn this???
Emily says
I’m left handed, and I can do this, so I would think so! Good luck!!

All you would do is read the graph from left to right instead of right to left.
