How to Cast on with 2 Hooks

“HOW TO CAST ON WITH 2 HOOKS ” – BY HILARIA FINA

This technique of casting on stitches using two hooks is not limited to just Tunisian crochet, but can also be applied to knitting. In fact, it is possible to substitute one of the hooks with a needle and achieve excellent results.

When it comes to Tunisian crochet, this method allows you to work more efficiently and quickly without having to make foundation chain.

Using this technique can be very beneficial as it not only saves time, but also improves the appearance of projects.

Tip: It is important to adjust the tension. If you crochet too tightly, you can increase the hook size by 1-2 mm.
