How to increase the height of your Tunisian Crochet column, without leaving a hole in your fabric.
This is so quick to do. You’ll love it.
Start With Some Tunisian Crochet
In this case, I have a layer of crochet done, and have started into a second layer.
The layer I’m working on is three bars high.
If you want to do the same, go ahead, I can wait. It’s no bother. I can just go make a cup of tea.
A layer of linked stitches.
Work the Downward Pass
Pick up loops in all the bars, as you have done for every column of the row so far. Don’t work into the next base just yet. We’ll get to that in a second.
Do you see the hole at the base of your PREVIOUS column? Work your hook into it.
- Loops picked up. Hole at base of previous column visible to the left of thumb.
2. Hook into hole at base of previous column.
Yarn Over, and draw a loop through fabric.
This adds a loop to hook that wouldn’t have been there otherwise (an increase)
- Yarn Over
2. Extra Loop
Now, we continue the Downward Pass by working hook into NEXT base:
Hook worked into NEXT base along.
Yarn Over, and draw a loop through to front of fabric:
- Yarn Over
2. Pull through
Work Tunisian Crochet Upward Pass as usual
* Yarn Over, pull through two loops * repeatedly until one loop is left on hook.
The three bars are now accompanied by a fourth (at the bottom of the column).
You are now working with four bars where before, you only had three.
Here’s what a completed, taller layer will look like.
A three-bar layer has been transformed into a four-bar layer. Lovely job!
And here’s the whole thing in motion:
