Tunisian
Knit Stitch (tks)
PATTERN NOTE
This is the most basic Tunisian stitch. It forms an
even grid and has often been used as the base
for intricate cross-stitch patterns. Also called
afghan stitch, this stitch has a tendency to curl.

Extended Tunisian
Simple Stitch (extss)
PATTERN NOTES
This stitch looks similar to Tunisian purl stitch
(see page 9), but the mechanics of working it are
different. If you prefer working this stitch, it
can often be successfully substituted for purl in
a pattern. It is another stitch that can be used to
counterbalance the curl.
