English Name: Tunisian Diagonal Rib Lace Stitch
Symbol Chart
Level of Curling: Light to no curling. More information on the natural curling of Tunisian crochet.
Special Stitches:
Tunisian Purled Two Together (p. tss2tog): Bring yarn to front as you would for a typical purl, insert hook from side to side (right to left for right-handers and left to right for left-handers) under TWO front vertical bars at the same time, yarn over, pull loop through.
You may want to review the typical Tunisian Purl Stitch. It’s the same except the tss2tog is worked under two front vertical bars at the same time instead of just one.

Notes: This is a nice stitch that doesn’t curl as so often seen with individual stitches. When working a flat swatch, I will typically make the last stitch under the two outer vertical bars for stability. It isn’t a requirement and I don’t use it for all applications of the same stitch pattern. It’s solely a finishing technique.
