The Tunisian crochet technique is a unique method that results in a fabric with a distinctive texture and look. Below are the essential directions for the Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS), a foundational stitch in Tunisian crochet:

Our design consists of a count of 3 and its multiples. Thus, you must calculate the chain numbers accordingly.

1. Base Chain: Begin by crafting a foundation chain with your desired number of stitches.

2. Forward Pass:
Insert your crochet hook from right to left beneath the front vertical bar of the initial chain.
Yarn over and draw up a loop. Keep this loop on the hook.
Repeat this action for each chain across the row, inserting the hook beneath the front vertical bar of each chain, yarn over, and pull up a loop. You will end up with a series of loops on your hook.

1. Return Pass:
Yarn over and pull through one loop on the hook (this forms the first chain of the return pass).
Yarn over again and pull through two loops on the hook. Continue this process until only one loop remains on the hook.

2. Repeat: Proceed with the forward pass and return pass for every row. The forward pass adds new loops on the hook, while the return pass reduces the number of loops until just one remains.

Tunisian crochet produces a thick and textured fabric akin to knitting. There are various forms of Tunisian stitches, including the Tunisian Knit Stitch (TKS), Tunisian Purl Stitch (TPS), and several others, each presenting unique textures and patterns.
