[Nfb-krafters-korner] Tunisian crochet?

[Susan Roe]

Well, with the help of my sister who can see, I learned it from a kit that 
contained two different size hooks.  From that, I made Christmas red and 
white scarves and then I matched them with stocking caps knitted with size 8 
needles.  Probably this fall, I will attempt the baby set that actually came 
with the kit.  I wanted to master the technique with something simple like 
the scarves before I tackled the baby things.  I have never seen a book that 
had crohooking paterns.
