How do I prevent curling of yarn when Tunisian Crocheting?
Can someone tell me how to prevent the curling of the piece I’m making when using the Tunisian Crochet technique (also known as the afghan stitch). Am I supposed to do a special stitch in the second row such as the purl stitch after doing the first forward pass row? Help!
If anyone is confused by my question, Tunisian crochet is also called the Afghan stitch in crochet. Even though it is crocheting, there are stitches called the knit and also the purl stitches. If you go into the “Nexstitch” site, you can see the Tunisian crochet video.
If you are making a blanket, it will uncurl when it’s all put together with the border. Unfortunately, that stitch does curl. It curls more in the beginning of the project. But it will uncurl when you are done and start using the item.
Here are some tips if it’s really bothersome:
