One-Color Tunisian Knitting
A long time ago, Tunisian knitted fabric served as a foundation for embroidery. It makes a very firm even fabric but can be difficult to brk1tbl (which means knit the stitch and its yarnover together going into the back of the loops, twisting the stitches). I stuck the right needle into the fronts of both stitches as in normal knitting and then glided the point of the needle over the left needle to get my right needle point in position to brk into the back of the loops.

Cast on an even number of sts.
Row 1 WS: *sl1yo; rep from *.
Row 2 RS: *brk1tbl; rep from *.
Repeat from Row 1.

Three-Color Tunisian Knitting
As with one-color Tunisian knitting, this stitch makes a very firm even fabric but can be difficult to brk1tbl (which means knit the stitch and its yarnover together going into the back of the loops, twisting the stitches). I stuck the right needle into the fronts of the stitich and its yarnover as in normal knitting and then glided the point of the needle over the left needle to get my right needle point in position to brk into the back of the loops. For this sample I used a large needle – twice the recommended needle size for the yarn. For this sample I followed the instructions for one-color Tunisian Knitting, also written below, but alternated colors A, B and C. Your yarns will be hanging on the correct side of the work so you will not have to do any sliding.
