PURL STITCH CROCHET combined with TUNISIAN STITCH

On my previous postings, I showed you a Tunisian technique stitch which was "SEED STITCH" combined with PURL stitch.  This time what I have here for you is basically a Tunisian foundation row, the rest will be purl stitch as in knitting...you will be using an afghan crochet hook with this project.  You can make a project as a scarf, cover spread, or blanket spread on this type of crocheting.   **Please click to the image for bigger image so you can follow the pattern

PURL STITCH

FOUNDATION ROW:  Work forward and return halves same as for Tunisian Simple Stitch (TSS)

ROW 1:  (forward half) Skip first st, Purl st in each st across.
