Tunisian Crochet The Japanese Way (Nihon Vogue)

Tunisian crochet is the knitwork style that combines the cast-on method of knitting with the hook method of crochet, resulting in fabrics that look woven as well as knitted. Tunisian Crochet The Japanese Way by Nihon Vogue gives knitting and crochet enthusiasts a chance to create beautiful patterns and textures using the clear chart-and-symbol method of visual notation pioneered in Japan and now popular worldwide.

Step-by-step illustrations for 13 classic Tunisian crochet stitches are provided in a dedicated section that shows you in detail how to execute each stitch, providing visual references to help you perfect your skills. There are also 20 stylish projects that are designed around one of these stitches, showing how they are used in practice. This includes an intricate multi-colored shrug that uses the Wave Stitch, fun bags of all sizes, from a fabulous drawstring bucket bag to a beautifully patterned pencil case, that use the Seed Stitch, Modified Seed Stitch, or Scallop Stitch, a colourful vest and splashy tippet that use the Cube Stitch, an elegant beret using the Domino Stitch, and so much more! Each project comes with complete instructions and schematics. 

Perfect for “technique collectors” and needlecrafters looking for new angles and new challenges, Tunisian Crochet-The Japanese Way is a fantastic adventure that you’ll enjoy for years to come.
