INC1 – a Tunisian Crochet increase

Setting up for a Tunisian INC1 increase

Here’s where we’re starting: a nice sheet of TSS stitches.

We’re going to put a INC 1 increase in the middle of the next row which will increase our stitch number by one stitch.

To increase, wrap yarn over hook.

Then, with Yarn Over still in place, work hook into next line/stitch along, yarn over and draw one loop through line/stitch.

The INC1 Yarn Over is still on the hook and locked between two regular, TSS stitches.

Finish the rest of the forward pass as usual.

Once forward pass is complete, work return pass as usual, i.e. YO, draw through 1 loop, then *YO, draw through two loops* repeatedly until only one loop remains on hook.

For next row, work up to INC1 yarn over as usual…

… then you have a choice.

Either

A) Work hook into INC1 yarn over itself, or…

B) Work hook into eyelet made underneath INC1 yarn over.

Either choice is valid.

Then, complete Forward and Return Passes as usual.

After a few rows back and forth, this is the type of texture you’ll get in your fabric:

Increase achieved!
