Introduction to Tunisian Crochet

<p>Tunisian crochet is an exciting and unique craft, sometimes described as a cross between knitting and crochet. Tunisian crochet is fast to work up and creates a lovely cosy fabric with some stretch.</p>

<p>In this course, you will learn a variety of Tunisian crochet techniques. To start with you will make sampler stitch squares that can be combined to make a cosy Tunisian baby blanket or you can replicate these squares at home to create a cosy throw. </p>

<p>As you progress your tutor may bring extra projects for you to enjoy. </p>

<p>All our courses are made up of elements of speaking & listening, reading and writing, and you will work using these elements throughout the course.</p>

<p>Learning takes place in a friendly classroom setting, which is a great place for social interaction and helping you meet new people.</p>

<p>Practice at home and completion of homework is advisable to enhance your learning experience.</p>

<p>This course is subsidised by Government funding so you should aim to attend the whole course.</p>

<p>There are no Pre-course admission sessions or interviews in order to enrol on this course.</p>

<p>Your tutor will work with you to develop a Personal Development Plan (PDP) which will help you review your progress towards achieving your goals during the course. </p>

<p>There is no qualification or examination attached to this course.</p>

<p>This course is suitable for those who are completely new to Tunisian crochet. Having some experience with either crochet or knitting might be an advantage but is not essential.</p>

<p>You will need to bring hooks, you may be able to start with standard hooks as long as they have longish bodies of consistent-width, hooks with ergonomic handles or mouldings are not suitable for Tunisian crochet. We would recommend starting with a 6.5mm Tunisian crochet hook either a straight hook or those with a flexible extension are fine. You will also need Aran weight yarn 400 yds of Main Colour 200 yds of Colour A 200 yds of Colour B 100 yds of Colour C. You may also wish to bring embroidery scissors or yarn snips, and tape measure. </p>

<p>As you progress and develop other projects may be introduced which may need additional yarn. Your tutor will discuss this with you during the course. </p>

<p>You will also need to bring along a notepad and pen/pencil.</p>
