Crochet Pattern: Tunisian Knit Stitch Scarf
By Rachel Choi – 14 CommentsWhat better way to practice a new stitch than to make a scarf with it? The Tunisian knit stitch tutorial will show you the steps to make your crochet look like knitting! Once you get the hang of it, come back here and start on a new scarf.

 |
Finished Size: as long and wide as you desire
|
Materials: Medium Weight Yarn (approximately 250 yards) Crochet Hook N (10.00 mm) |

Gauge: is not that important. The scarf created in the photo uses a large hook so that it is easier for beginners to see the stitches. It also minimizes curl.
Special Stitches Used: Tunisian Knit Stitch (tks)
Crochet Pattern: Scarf
Start by chaining 12 or as wide as you want your scarf
Row 1: tks in second ch from hook and in each ch across
Row 2: tks in second st from hook and in each st across
Repeat row 2 until scarf is as long as you desire.
If need help with crocheting your Tunisian knit stitch scarf, let me know!
Very pretty stitch. I’ll have to try it. Have you ever done the herringbone stitch? Herringbone half-double crochet.
I haven’t tried it, but I’ll look into it 🙂
Scarves are my favorite way to practice stitches. Thanks so much for this, I’ll be linking.
I have never seen this stitchet I had to try it rightl away I liked it
well I’m looking forward to see if you put Donnas pattern she
asked about the herringbone stitch,would love to see that.
Thanks for sharing
Hi Rachel, my last row looks “open”. i tried to slip stitch between the stitches on the previous row but it forms a ridge 🙁
pls help!
To finish off you make slip stitches in the stitches that you would normally pull up a loop in just like in Tunisian simple stitch. The number of slip stitches you make will be one less than the number of loops that are normally on your hook during the forward pass.
I think the ridge you’re referring to are the “V’s” made by the slip stitch. But that’s normal and it may seem as if it’s on the front of your work, but that’s because it’s curled. Try blocking it when you’re done.
I found your pattern last week. I went out and bought afghan hoof and some yarn – I just love it!
Can you tell me how to keep my scarf from rolling/curling?
Hi Cindi, here is post “Why Tunisian Crochet Curls and How to Get Rid of It” that will explain it.
I’m just trying Tunisian Crochet for the first time and I’m starting with your pattern since it seems like a good way to practice something simple, though I think I’m going to use a smaller hook. I started with the N and confused myself. I crochet really tight normally and I’m used to thing being so spacey. I was going through the same spaces over and over again 😀
I am actually trying to make the Tunisian Crochet Flower. I have followed the tunisian tutorial with no problem but cannot figure out how to increase in the 2nd round. I do more knitting so it may be really simple for a crochet person. Please help.
Hi Venita, to increase in Tunisian crochet, pull up a loop between any 2 stitches where you want your increase to be. This will put an extra loop on your hook, therefore creating an additional stitch when you finish the row.
What is tsk?
The reverse side of the scarf is not very attractive. Did I do something wrong?
Hi Suzette, “tsk” is a typo it should say “tks”, thanks for catching that I’ll fix it right now! Yes, the reverse side does look different, it looks similar to the reverse side of the Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS).
