Description
Refers to Tunisian twisted, most often indicating the Tunisian Twisted Simple Stitch (TtwSS) in crochet patterns.
Detailed explanation
In Tunisian crochet, this term stands for Tunisian twisted and typically designates the Tunisian Twisted Simple Stitch. By twisting the vertical bar during insertion, this technique creates a slightly denser fabric with added texture compared to the standard simple stitch. It is frequently used to provide visual interest or to help counteract the skewing effect inherent in plain Tunisian work.
