| | Knitter's Review Forums - Tunisian Crochet??? |
 | | Tunisian crochet was used quite a bit in the mid 1800's with many different stitches, such as the wave stitch, where you pick up the horizontal bar of the next stitch rather than the vertical bar. |

 | | What is the difference between Tunisian crochet (one hook on the end of what looks like a long knitting needle) and double-ended hook crochet (a long needle with crochet hooks on both ends), other than the obvious that they are 2 different tools. |
