Tunisian crochet is a technique that is a cross between knitting and crocheting, some stitches can resemble knitting (such as the knit and purl stitches), others resemble crochet (such as the double and shell), while others look more like weaving (afghan stitch). This shirt is made in the technique called Filet crochet, and uses the basic double crochets and chains worked in a mesh. The stitches are worked one stitch at a time.
