this tutorial will show how to work the afghan stitch, also called tunisian
this is the yarn used for this project
I will be using two crochet hook, size I/5.5mm
This crochet hook is approximate 14 inches long, 35 centimeters
make a loose chain of 25
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
6, 7, 8, 9, 10
11, 12, 13, 14, 15
16, 17, 18, 19, 20
21, 22, 23, 24, 25
switch to the longer crochet hook
insert the hook
when you look at the chain, you see two loops on the front, and one loop on the back
through the next chain, put your hook below the top chain and the chain on the back
wrap the yarn over, pull it through
repeat the same thing through the next chain, leave the loop on the hook
wrap the yarn over, pull it through, leave the loop on the hook
insert your hook through the next chain
wrap the yarn over, pull it through,
insert your hook through the next chain
wrap the yarn over, pull it through
insert your hook through the next chain
wrap the yarn over, pull it through
insert your hook through the next chain
wrap the yarn over and pull it through
insert your hook through the next chain
wrap the yarn over and pull it through
this is what it looks like on the back side
continue across
until you have 25 loops on your hook
put the hook through the chain
wrap the yarn over the hook, pull it through
put the hook through the next chain
wrap the yarn over the hook and pull it through
put the hook through the next chain
wrap the yarn over the hook and pull it through
put the hook through the next chain
wrap the yarn over the hook and pull it through
put your hook through the next chain
wrap the yarn over and pull it through
put your hook through the next chain
wrap the yarn over the hook and pull it through
put your hook through the next chain
wrap the yarn over and pull it through

there are two passes, to complete one row of the afghan stitch
we will now start the second pass, taking the loops off of the hook
wrap the yarn over your hook, pull through the first loop
wrap the yarn over your hook, pull through two loops
wrap the yarn over your hook, pull through two loops
wrap the yarn over your hook, pull through two loops
wrap the yarn over your hook, pull through two loops
wrap the yarn over your hook, pull through two loops
wrap the yarn over your hook, pull through two loops
we will do this 25 times total, removing 25 loops from the hook
wrap the yarn over your hook, pull through two loops

this is our first row
there are two passes with each row
we will start picking up loops
there are vertical loops
put your hook through the vertical loop, wrap the yarn over and pull it through
find the next loop
put your hook through the vertical loop, wrap the yarn over and pull it through
put your hook through the vertical loop, wrap the yarn over and pull it through - 4
put your hook through the vertical loop, wrap the yarn over and pull it - 5

on each end I am pulling up on the loop, so it is not tight on the crochet hook
if your loops are to tight, you may find that the top is narrower than the bottom of your work
keep the loops loose on your hook - maintaining a consistent tension
