Introduction Welcome back to my channel! In this tutorial, I will be showing you how to make the Tunisian honeycomb stitch. This stitch is versatile and can be used in various projects. We will be using only two stitches - the simple stitch and the purl stitch. These stitches are easy to learn, and I'm excited to teach you how to create this beautiful stitch.

Materials Needed Before we dive into the tutorial, let's gather the materials you'll need. You will need some yarn, preferably Lion Brand lazy days yarn, and a 6.5mm Tunisian crochet hook (or a regular crochet hook if that's what you have). Since we will be making a swatch, any yarn and hook of your choice will do.

Making a Slip Knot To begin, create a slip knot. Start by wrapping the yarn over your finger twice, then push the back piece over the front piece. Take the front piece and push it over the back piece and over your finger. Now, pull tight to secure the slip knot. Insert your hook into the loop and pull tight once more.

Chaining the Stitches Now, let's chain an even amount of stitches. For this tutorial, we will chain 12. Yarn over and pull through for your first chain. Continue to yarn over and pull through for the remaining chains until you have 12 in total.

Working the First Row We will now work our first row into the back bumps of the chains. Flip over your chains to expose the back bumps, which are the spaces between the chains. Insert your hook underneath each back bump, skipping the first chain. Yarn over and pull through for each back bump until the end of the row.

Working the Return Pass After completing the forward pass, it's time to work the return pass. Yarn over and pull through the first loop on your hook. Then, yarn over and pull through two loops on your hook. Repeat this process until you have pulled through two loops for every remaining loop on your hook.

The Tunisian Honeycomb Stitch Now comes the fun part - the Tunisian honeycomb stitch! This stitch pattern combines the simple stitch and the purl stitch. First, make a simple stitch in the second stitch of the row, skipping the first stitch. Then, make a purl stitch. Alternate between these two stitches until the end of the row.

Making the Simple Stitch To make a simple stitch, insert your hook underneath the bar of the stitch. Yarn over and pull through to create the stitch. The simple stitch will create a straighter line in your work.

Making the Purl Stitch For a purl stitch, move your working yarn forward, go underneath the bar of the stitch, move your yarn back and over, and then pull through. The purl stitch will create a slightly curved line in your work.

Alternating Stitches Continue alternating between the simple stitch and the purl stitch until you reach the end of the row. Remember to skip the first stitch at the beginning of each row and work the last Tunisian stitch at the end of each row.

Continuing the Pattern To continue the pattern, repeat row 2 for row 4 and row 3 for row 5. This will create a beautiful honeycomb stitch pattern in your work. Simply alternate between these two rows to achieve the desired effect.
