I mastered the art of Tunisian crochet

Another Labor Day long weekend passed by and I learnt this new stitch called Tunisian Crochet, I think it is also known as Afghan Stitch, though it was not invented in Afghanistan as per my research. Other names of this crochet stitch are Tricot Crochet, Crochet Knit, Tunis Crochet and Shepherd’s knitting. I thought, I should also give this stitch a name since there are many given names. Tunisian stitch is sort of remix or fusion of crochet and knitting techniques, so I am going to call this stitch, ‘A Fusion Stitch’! Pretty cool, I guess.
I am in love with this crochet stitch because Tunisian crochet is more uniform, organized and easy to make. I think this stitch will be perfect for a baby blanket as all the stitches are very close to each other and provide inclusive warmness which is the basic purpose of any blanket…
Here are few pictures of my Tunisian Crochet Swatch.

Three swatches joined together, but the swatch edges are still curling, I will be stitching crochet lace / border to get rid of the curls…

Curling property of this stitch has been described as a ‘problem’ all over the internet, but I think it’s cute…pink yarn curls almost made me hungry every time I looked at them.
Apart from Baby Blanket, I am planning to use Tunisian crochet stitches to make a scarf and a tie. That will be really very cool…
