My next
project discovering Tunisian crochet in the round is a hat. I chose my
favourite yarn from Wålstedts to get god quality. It is a two-ply, z-plied yarn. I was curious to see if the z-ply was a problem when making Tunisian
crochet (it was not).
I chose to
use five different colours/nuances from light blue to black. Black being the
only colour used on every row throughout the whole project.
For the beginning I used dark blue and black, alternating the basic stitch with purl stitches. For
the rest of the hat I used the basic stitch and alternated the blue colours for
every row.
An easy and
fun project - I think that Tunisian crochet can be quite addictive ...

your crochet is wonderful, i've for awhile wanted to learn the tunisian method.. do you know of any good resources in english or french?
SvaraRaderai also wanted to ask about your cast on, do you use a special one for your mittens, it does not look like it, yet your edges don't curl without ribbing. maybe this principle is different in twined knitting?
Thank you for your kind comment
SvaraRaderaResources for tunisian crochet: go to youtube.com and search for "tunisian crochet" and you will find a lot of interesting clips.
As for edges that do not curl I often use a cast-on for twined knitting (one of the most common is shown here http://vimeo.com/18361296)after that (I knit in twined knitting) alternate rows in purl and knit a couple of times - that makes for an edge that does not curl.
