Learning to crochet "on the double"



I tried Tunisian crochet and was disappointed in the end product....it curled and was ruglike. While researching this I found crochet 'on the double' tutorial and tried it. I love it.
You use a long double ended hook or denise interchangeable needles sells hooks that connect to either end of a cable and they are wonderful. It is an easy process and comes out looking more like knitting than crochet. The afghan comes out puffy but warm and drapes nicely.
The fun thing is it looks different on each side. One project I am doing is a varigated pink yarn mixed with a pale yellow and on one side it looks pink and on the other looks yellow....fun!
