.Plaid diamonds. That's what this reminds me of.

.Only it's really entrelac. And as confusing as the technique appeared at first -- it becomes reeeeeeeeeeally addicting once you get the hang of it.

.Perfect and precise directions are from this book. And the photos that go along with the directions are exceptional to aid those of us --ahem --who are visual learners.

.I had 2 tiny bits of scrap yarn in my stash that I used to see if I could even do this. And now that I am thoroughly smitten with this tunisian-type crocheting, I am going to do more.

The stitch used is actually a tunisian simple stitch (or afghan stitch as it is called in the book) and after searching a million different places for a tunisian how-to, I found this from CrochetSide to be so, so helpful!

This is the backside -- and in my very limited grasp of knitting -- it looks so much like...well...it was knitted.

That is neat.
you are right - it really looks like diamonds:)
it's very pretty!
I've done a few things in Tunisian! You're right! It is VERY addictive! I've made a cowl and a few hats. There's a knit stitch which really does look like knitting on the right side which you would like. You should check out YouTube for videos as that's how I figured it out and there's a book called Encylopedia of Tunisian stitches which you might want a looksee! I got it out from the library and I was amazed at the different stitches you can do.Happy hookin :D
Oi adorei seu bloguinho adorava o segui, seus trabalhos são lindos parabéns. Beijusss Rosa
very hard....
I have often wondered how to do Tunisian crochet & have instructions in a book, but have never tried it.
I am left handed so have to use a mirror to follow pictured instructions- which I find easier than reading about it too!!
Happy New Year.
Auguri di Buon Anno!!!!
