For so long I've been disappointed with crochet "cables" (really it's just front post stitches pretending to be cables). You can imagine my excitement when I found out that there actually is a way to gorgeous puffy stitches that look very similar to knitted cables with my crochet hook! What's the secret? My newly beloved, Tunisian Crochet.
If you are unfamiliar with Tunisian crochet I HIGHLY recommend you check it out. It is SO much easier than it's fancy name leads on (especially if you are already a crocheter or knitter). Hop on over to YouTube right now and type in Tunisian Crochet Simple Stitch to see what I'm talking about (hopefully someday I will be leading you to a NeoGrandma YouTube video...but don't let me hold you back). What'd you think? So easy right?! I used the Tunisian Simple Stitch throughout the scarf so that all of your concentration can be focused on working the cables (dropping several stitches, working a few more, then returning the dropped stitches back on the hook). I hope you will agree that the result is far better than traditional crochet "cables"!
