I’m Marie Segares from Underground Crafter, and I love to experiment with crochet. If you haven’t yet tried double-ended crochet (sometimes called double-ended Tunisian crochet, crochet on the double, or crochenit), you will be surprised to see how easy it is.
With double-ended crochet, you use a double-ended crochet hook and two yarns to create reversible projects that highlight a different yarn on each side.
Each side of this reversible stitch pattern shows one yarn more prominently.
While you can make these projects using two yarns in the same weight, it’s much more fun to experiment with different yarn weights.
This pattern uses a super bulky weight yarn and a medium weight yarn, but try your own combinations! If you change the yarn weights, be sure to pick a double-ended crochet hook that is sized appropriately for the thickest yarn.
