The Joy of the Tunisian Honeycomb Stitch

I first stumbled across Tunisian crochet when visiting a Vogue Knit Live, a convention for yarn lovers, hosted in New York. Armed with the basics, I scoured every book and tutorial I could find to learn more. I quickly found the Honeycomb Stitch, a combination of Tunisian simple and purl stitches that blew my mind. It’s the stitch that made me fall in love with Tunisian crochet, and I haven’t looked back.

The beauty of the Honeycomb stitch is alternating your rows. After the foundation row, you’ll start the next row with a Tunisian simple stitch, followed by a purl stitch. On the following row, start with a Tunisian purl stitch followed by a simple stitch. Alternate these rows throughout and watch adorable honeycomb lines appear.
