Crochet Pattern: Chunky Tunisian Bangle
By Candace – 4 Comments
This chunky bangle takes advantage of Tunisian crochet’s natural tendency to curl, making it easy and great for beginners. Playing with gauge and texture with these can create fun looks, especially when mixing and matching bracelets. Break out your yarns from plain to novelty to create a fun and funky stack.

What does “tss” mean? I have never seen that abbreviation before.
Hi Wendy! Tss stands for Tunisian simple stitch. Here’s a link to the tutorial: http://www.crochetspot.com/how-to-crochet-tunisian-simple-stitch-tss/
Awesome! Thanks for this! I just learned Tuscan crochet this weekend and love it!!!!!
Love the idea to turn a ‘problem’ (Tunisian curl) into an ‘advantage’. Clever thinking.
