How to make the stitches
Border / Connection Stitch - BS
It is necessary to mention this because they work different from the other stitches but they are always there when you count your loops on the hook.
Right: First loop on the hook
Left: Normal border stitch: pick up 2 strands and pull up a loop
Connection stitch: Insert hook under vertical bar right behind the V
Tunisian Simple Stitch - TSS
Return stitch - RS
You start a normal Return Pass with pull through 1 loop and then you work all RS by pull through 2 loops.
Check the pattern if there is another way to work this stitch.
Becareful when you work with charts:
The first RS is the pull through 1 loop OR the connection loop when you join blocks while you go.
