Description

Lori Harrison is the Tunisian crochet designer behind Aklori Designs and author of Exploring Tunisian Crochet. Designing since 2017, she strives to create enjoyable, inclusive, and easy-to-follow garment and accessory patterns for all levels of Tunisian crochet enthusiasts. As an engineer in her day job, she designs as a way to nurture her creative side while also relaxing at the end of the day. Influenced by her engineering background, patterns are concise but comprehensive and tailored to the experience level required for the pattern. Lori lives in Tucson, Arizona with her husband, three cats, and a sassy Shiba Inu. When she doesnt have a Tunisian crochet hook in her hand, she enjoys cooking, hiking, and nature photography.

This book truly opens a whole new world of possibilities for Tunisian crochet enthusiasts. With 501 stitch entries, detailed swatch photos, charts, and systematic organization, it earns its place as an ultimate reference and must-have addition to a Tunisian crocheter’s library.

I recommend this book for confident, experienced makers who want to expand their knowledge, experiment with diverse stitch patterns, and push their work to the next level. If you love exploring new stitches and textures, this will quickly become a go-to resource on your shelf.

If you are still learning the Tunisian crochet technique, start with Lori’s first book, Exploring Tunisian Crochet, then return to this one when you are ready to explore more.
