Tunisian crochet has a natural curl. It can be avoided by using the right hooksize. Your hooksize needs to be at least 1-3 sizes larger then the advise on the label of your yarn

Therefore, you always need to make a swatch to determine your hook size.

If your swatch appears too loose or “holey”, go down a hook size. If it is tight and curls about a lot, then go up a hook size. 

This can be used in any project you like and not only with crochet but also in painting or interior decoration.

First of all, you need to choose the primary colour first. Then the next question to decide is how many colours you are going to use.

The next picture will help you a lot to choose your colours. These are the basic rules for using colours. There are a few more, but I try to keep it simple.

First of all, you need to choose your first colour, the one you want to be in your project no matter what. Inside the wheel you see dots that are connected with each other. If you choose those colours, you create an interesting and inspiring colour group.

Wheel nr 1   -           only 1 colour

Choose your colour from light to dark. You can include white or black for the first or last colour.

Wheel nr 2   -           2 colours

Choose an opposite colour to create an amazing effect. I used this in my Star blanket to create that amazing look by using an opposite colour.

Wheel nr 3   -           3 colours

Pick the colours from the circle using equilateral triangle (see picture) they skip 3 colours on the circle each time.

Wheel nr 4   -           3 colours

Choose your main colour (red) then go to the opposite side and choose the 2 colours right next to the opposite colour.

Wheel nr 5   -           3 colours

Choose 3 colours right next to each other.

Wheel nr 6   -           4 colours

Choose your colours using a rectangle. The small sides leave 1 colour in between the long sides 3 colours in between.
