English Name: Twisted Tunisian Simple Stitch (tw tss)
Spanish Name: Punto Bajo Tunecino Retorcido
Symbol
Level of Curling: Light to no curling. More information on the natural curling of Tunisian crochet.
Suggested Foundation Typical foundation row.
Instructions: Using the hook tip, pull the front vertical bar in the direction of the beginning of the row and then loop the hook around the vertical bar, turning the hook tip so the hook is now facing you, the vertical bar will now be fully looped around the hook, yarn over, pull loop through.
Notes: This is a really nice stitch. When I use a Twisted Simple Stitch in my patterns, this is the one I usually use. You don’t see it very often because it’s nearly impossible to understand how to do it from written instructions and, unfortunately, there is no distinct symbol. It’s the same as the Tunisian Knit Stitch. You have to use care and follow the written instruction for the twisted stitch if you have only a chart because the same symbol could mean either one.
