Choose from 61 stitch patterns to add texture and beauty to your own one-of-a-kind Tunisian crochet projects. They're great for scarves, home decor, garments, pillows and fashion accessories. The book includes photo tutorials of the stitches to familiarize yourself with their execution. It teaches you the symbols for the stitches and how to read the charts. Once you've learned to read the charts, you can use the plethora of stitch patterns, most of them never-before-published, created by the author specifically and exclusively for this book. The book is a handy size, perfect to fit into your project bag. The stitch patterns are separated into chapters of Learning Charts, Typical Stitches, Color Stitches, and Lace Stitches. The stitch patterns include basic, beginner stitch patterns through advanced, including never-before-seen pineapples and pine cones in Tunisian crochet. The book does require some basic crochet knowledge in order to enjoy it; i.e., slip knot, chain and single crochet. But, it does not require prior Tunisian crochet knowledge as long as you're willing to learn the stitches (tutorials provided in the book) before jumping into the stitch patterns. This book is a stitch pattern dictionary to expand your skill level and provide you with the opportunity to create your own projects. Although it includes one pattern/project to practice reading the charts, it is not a pattern book. It is a stitch pattern dictionary, like other stitch pattern dictionaries. Unlike other stitch pattern dictionaries, however, it is all Tunisian crochet. Kim is also the author of the Ultimate Beginners Guide to Tunisian Crochet, Short Row Tunisian Fashion and Tunisian Cables to Crochet. Review: Great book - The book is very informative Review: Not for newbies! - I’ve been crocheting for a few years & picked up Tunisian about 2 years ago. I absolutely LOVE this book. learning new stitches & how to read the graphs was exactly what I was looking for to increase my crochet knowledge. I know if I had gotten this book as a new crocheter it would have all looked like gibberish.

Very clear and useful resource for Tunisian crocheters!
Very helpful to learn a variety of stitches. I am not sure if Tunisian is so new that the stitches don't have names or why they are just numbered here. I do like that they are grouped by the type of stitch. I was learning Tunisian a few months ago and use this when planning a project now to decide on a good pattern for the stitch.

Reference book for Tunisian Stitches
This slim volume was a book I anxiously awaited. I was a little disappointed in that the author states she has innovated some of the stitches but somehow the whole presentation of the book seemed a little "cheap." I put it on the shelf and may look at it again later. There are so many other Tunisian reference books that have inspiring articles on patterns and methodology, viz. "The new Tunisian Crochet," by Dora Ohrenstein. (see my reveiw)

Going based on the book (should that have been what you were searching)… it’s a cute little handy book. Great size for say a travel bag, on the go bag, or as i like to say “have hooks & needles will travel” bag. (Why there is a lot of low star rating or complaints on this is unbeknownst to me… it CEARLY states perfect POCKET SIZE,, frites your BAG). So If you are looking for something thats concise and compact, this is def that book. You doooo need the basic understanding of how to Tunisian so you’re not sitting there like its stereo instructions. So 5 * for pattern education, 5 * for symbol education, 2 * on fundamental basics. BUT this is a stitch guide NOT a learn to tunisian or beginners book. **now to leave a little feed back about the seller. ACES in my book! Being purchased used they said the book was in ‘very good condition”, it absolutely was. I got my book earlier than expected. I support their mission programs and the services they offer. I can only hope that goodwill/easter seals/ local charities/ to the people that run these places, all i can hope is they cont to stay humble and on a selfless path with the wonderful work and services they provide for SO many people. With a loving worldly cause i will always try to support. Please don’t ever stop striving Soooo i can knit…. I can crochet… but apparently i can not even start a foundation Tunisian chain and this book did jack nor shit to help me with that. BUT i did paper clip the MoFo outta this thing with the stitches i wanted to learn (oh which BTW the name of the stitch is so nicely NOT given to you just referred to as “stitch x”. Oh but you do get a free pattern (yeeeea that was a slight bit of sarcasm). I think its best to end this review here and let me quit while I’m ahead or their sake

This is a fabulous little book!
After many decades of being an avid crocheter, in regular crochet, Irish crochet, Romanium Lace, and Tunisian crochet, (even the lost art of Tatting should you know what that is!), this book may be my top choice. It is not a book of patterns, but a book that both tells and shows stitches I had never even dreamt of, never mind used in any of my creations. If you have any interest in the fun of Tunisian crochet, BUY IT, even if you already know how to do it! My only complaint is the physical binding of the book. It started to fall apart within a day or two. however, I have now put each page in clear binders and put them all in a notebook. Problem solved. Thank you for putting this valuable and fascinating information into a book.

Una buona guida
Non conoscevo l'uncinetto tunisino ed ho acquistato guida e uncinetti per iniziare una nuova esperienza. La guida si è dimostrata molto utile e pratica e completa per iniziare e imparare tanti nuovi punti. E' in inglese ma con un po' di pazienza si capisce,anche le immagini sono chiare e aiutano a capire l'esecuzione di tutti i punti, che passano da quelli di base più semplici a schemi molto più complicati.

Grundlagenbuch zum Mitnehmen
Dieses Buch bietet 61 verschiedene tunesisch gehäkelte Muster, die Anleitung für einen Schal und ein kurzes Kapitel zu den Grundlagen. Es ist vor allem als Nachschlagewerk gedacht, nicht als Lehrbuch für Tunesisch Häkeln (dafür gibt es andere Bücher - eines wird im Buch erwähnt). Aber alle Grundlagen werden kurz zum Nachschlagen dargestellt, sozusagen als Erinnerungshilfe. Außerdem führt das Buch eine Häkelschrift für tunesische Maschen ein, die mehr auf Kästchenbasis arbeitet als übliche Häkelschriften. Im ersten Kapitel "Learning Charts" mit 14 Mustern, in dem die Grundmuster erklärt werden, gibt es zu jedem Muster ein klares Foto des Musters, eine Häkelschrift (mit Bezeichnung des Rapports), ein kurzes Verzeichnis der Symbole für alle verwendeten Maschen, Erklärungen zu ungewöhnlichen Maschenarten, und eine schriftliche Anleitung. Dies ist als Hilfe gedacht, die Häkelschrift zu lernen. In den folgenden Kapiteln gibt es dann nur noch ein Bild, die Häkelschrift und eine Liste der verwendeten Symbole mit Erklärung. Die Themen sind: Typical Stitches (17 Muster, Color Stitches (12 Muster) und Lace Stitches (18 Muster). Insgesamt ein schönes Buch mit einem vernünftigen Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Das Format ist gut zum Mitnehmen geeignet. Es hat einen Platz in jeder Häkelbibliothek verdient.
