Afghan Tunisian Crochet: How to get started

Afghan Tunisian Crochet is not exactly crocheting and is not exactly knitting: 
Is a technique that has a lot of nice stitches.
To crochet Tunisian crochet we need a needle and of course yarn?
The afghan Tunisian crochet hook is longer than the ordinary crochet hook we usually know and that's because while crocheting the Forward pass we cast on the hook the stitches.

So we crochet in Rows and especially for each finished stitch we need to crochet 2 Rows: 
1. The FORWARD  pass 
2. The RETURN pass

REMEMBER: DON'T turn the work after finishing the forward pass.

The Tunisian afghan crochet hook, as I've said is a long crochet hook and in an edge has a stopper so stitches don't fall down.
 For the left-handed we keep the hook with the right hand and we work from right to left during the forward pass and from left to right during. 
For the left handed  with the left hand and we work from left to right during the forward pass and from right to left during the return pass.

Get started:

Make a foundation chain of the desired length ( the foundation chai, tha we already know)

1. FORWARD Pass

1. Insert the hook into the 2nd ch and pull out a loop
2. Insert the hook into the next ch and pull out a loop
3. Repeat step 2. till all chains are finished

2. RETURN  pass

1. Yarn over and work the 1st loop on the hook
2. Yarn over and take the next 2 loops on the hook
3. Repeat step 2. till there is only 1 loop on the hook

I had some problems to find the afghan Tunisian crochet hook and  at the end I searched on internet and I found them at Fation Jewelery Store on AliExpress.com .
If you also have problems to find them in the shops you can also search on internet and check product and delivery prices  and  then decide.

The yarns I usually use are: Wendy and King Cole and the shop I usually buy in Britain is Closs & Hamblin
