Afghan squares update

In honor of memorial day I made the next square on my checklist, old' glory. I also went one step further and did a lone star square. Ol glory Lone star flag I also have two more squares to update on because I forgot to. So this first one... Is it knit... Or crocheted? Tunisian knit st square So the obvious answer is the stitches are knit stitches, but the not so obvious answer is they were done on a crochet hook known as a Cro-hook, afghan hook, or Tunisian hook. It is a long crochet where all stitches are put on and then taken off. In the knit stitch technique the work is not turned. This technique is also known as crochenit. Crochenit square This one is known as the Tunisian simple stitch in two colors. When working with two colors the work is turned and then all stitches are slid to the opposite end then taken off with the contrasting color. This stitch can also e some with one color, then turning would not be necessary. Happy crochenit!
