In knitting terms, Tunisian Crochet, aka Afghan Stitch, is
worked by casting stitches onto the single hooked needle,
binding them off by repeatedly pulling a loop through two
loops, then picking up the stitches by pulling a loop
through each stitch, then binding them off again.
When was a child, we called it "cro-knitting" and I could do
it long before I learned to knit or crochet. I never
learned but the the one basic stitch, and used it to make
dishrags out of scraps of cotton rug yarn. They worked
rather like an abrasive sponge, and lasted a long time.
