Description
If you know how to knit in the round with circular needles, this technique will feel very familiar! In this tutorial, I’m showing you how to use a Tunisian crochet hook with a cable to work in the round, using the same logic as circular knitting.
The Technique
Many people think Tunisian crochet requires a double-ended hook for circular work, but you can actually achieve a seamless finish using a single cabled hook. I’ll demonstrate how to:
Manage the stitches on the flexible cable exactly as you would with circular knitting needles.
Work in "short rounds," pulling the cable through to create the necessary slack to continue your forward pass.
Shift your stitches from the cable back onto the hook smoothly to maintain a continuous flow.
Why This Method?
This is the most versatile way to handle circular Tunisian crochet. By treating your cabled hook like a circular knitting needle, you can work on projects of any diameter without the bulk of a long hook or the complexity of multiple tools. It’s all about cable management and keeping your work fluid.
What’s Covered
Setting up your foundation in the round with a cabled hook.
Handling the cable "loop" to give yourself room to work (Magic Loop style).
Managing the Forward Pass and Return Pass in sections.
Transitioning stitches from the cord to the hook without losing tension.
