🧵 Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS) Tutorial (Detailed)

🔹 What You Need:

• Tunisian crochet hook (or any long crochet hook)
• Medium-weight yarn
• Scissors and yarn needle

🪡 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make a Foundation Chain

1. Make a slip knot on your hook.
2. Chain the number of stitches you want — for practice, try 15 chains.
   • (Each chain = 1 stitch in your base row)

---

Step 2: Forward Pass (Picking up loops)

1. Insert your hook into the second chain from your hook.
2. Yarn over (wrap yarn around hook) and pull up a loop.
3. Leave that loop on your hook — don’t finish it.
4. Insert the hook into the next chain, yarn over, and pull up another loop.
5. Continue this across the entire chain.
6. You’ll now have many loops on your hook — one for each chain.

🟢 Tip: Your loops should slide easily — not too tight, not too loose.

---

Step 3: Return Pass (Working back across)

1. Yarn over, pull through just one loop (this creates the edge).
2. Yarn over again, pull through two loops.
3. Repeat yarn over, pull through two loops at a time until only one loop remains on your hook.

✅ You’ve finished one full row (forward and return pass).

Step 4: Next Rows (Creating the Tunisian Texture)

1. For the next row, look at the fabric — you’ll see vertical bars in front of your stitches.
2. Insert your hook behind the front vertical bar (not under the horizontal thread).
3. Yarn over, pull up a loop.
4. Continue this across, picking up loops on each vertical bar.
5. Then do the Return Pass again:
   • Yarn over, pull through 1 loop.
   • Then yarn over, pull through 2 loops repeatedly.

---

Step 5: Repeat

• Keep repeating Forward Pass and Return Pass until your piece reaches the desired length.
• The result will look exactly like your image — a beautiful woven, grid-like texture.

---

Step 6: Last Row (Bind Off)

1. Insert your hook into the next vertical bar.
2. Yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook (like a slip stitch).
3. Continue this across the row.
4. Cut yarn and fasten off.

🌸 Optional Finishing:

• Add a border with single crochet around your piece.
• Block it (lightly stretch and steam) for a smooth finish.
