Decreases in Tunisian crochet can be worked on either the forward pass or the return pass. The forward pass decrease is easy to do, but is best suited for the Tunisian Simple stitch or other stitches that are worked in the vertical bar. This tutorial shows a forward pass decrease worked in Tunisian simple stitch.

Finishing off a Tunisian crochet project is a simple and painless process that uses a skill you probably already know– the slip stitch. If you happen to also be a knitter, the process should feel familiar.

Insert your hook into the first stitch. If finishing off in pattern, insert the hook as if working a tss, tks, or whichever stitch the pattern calls for. (In this case, I’m using tks)
| Several checkerboard panels make this a fun project, and this Tunisian crochet neckwarmer is worked flat with a single seam, so there is no need for a double-ended hook. The stitches used make it a good project for those just branching out into Tunisian crochet who want a little variety. For a more pronounced checkerboard effect, feel free to change colors. |  |

A set of simple square scrubbies is great to have on had when cleaning tough spots in small crevices and provides an easy project for people who are new to Tunisian crochet. Since it is a narrow pattern, you can work on it with a regular crochet hook and try out Tunisian crochet before you go out and buy new Tunisian hooks.

| Valentine’s Day is coming up, and it’s a good time to show someone you care. Crocheting a heart is a great way to let someone know you’re thinking of them with a handmade gift. For an extra treat, you can leave a hole in the back and stuff the heart with chocolates or other goodies. |

| Kerchiefs are a more compact but still warm alternative to the bulkiness of a scarf. Unlike a cowl that fits just as closely, you don’t need to pull it over your head. This kerchief is fastened at the back of the neck with a large button. It can also be worn on the head like a bandana in place of a hat or headband. This kerchief is crocheted from the bottom up, with a simple yet interesting open work pattern. |  |

If you can start off a Tunisian crochet project, then you can do this increase, which is basically adding a foundation to the beginning of a row. Note: If you’ve never done Tunisian crochet, start with this tutorial: How to Crochet: Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS)
You can mouse over the photos to see a left-handed view.
First chain the number of stitches you need to add at the beginning of the row. I am adding three stitches, so I am working a ch-3.
| Appliques are a great way to express your interests, whether you’re adorning a bag or a sweater. This little add-on is great for the coffee (or tea) drinker. It is made in two pieces, but the sewing is minimal. |

| Put your coffee or tea in its Sunday best with a pretty embellished dress. Pretty faux pearls and a ribbon are lovely additions to the dress, but of course, you can embellish it as you please and make it your own. The dress cozy slips easily over a three inch diameter mug with a little room to spare. Smaller or much larger mugs are easily accommodated with simple adjustments. Just add or subtract rows or stitches and try it on your mug as you work. |  |

In Tunisian crochet, there are three types of increases: ones made at the beginning or a row, ones made in the middle of a row, and ones made at the end of a row. This tutorial will show you how to increase in the middle of a row. Since what you do in the next row is what determines how your stitches look, this increase will work for any Tunisian stitch.
Left-handed crocheters can mouse over the photos for another view.
First work up to the place where you would like to increase. Here is a picture of the space where you will insert your hook. It is underneath the horizontal bar that runs between the vertical bars.
