Back Crossed Tunisian Crochet Stitches

Back Crossed Double Tss/Purl Combo- BXDcTss/Tps
Any number of chs + 2 extra for the edges.
Row 1 Forward & Return: Work as you normally would for Double Tks or Tss.
Row 2: Ch 1. Sk 1 st.  *Work 1 Double Tps, Cross in front of the current st.  Work 1 Double Tss.  Sk 1 st. Repeat from * to end of row.
Row 2 Return: Same as Row 1 Return.
I have had the best results when I use the Simple stitch foundation for the front stitch as opposed to the Knit stitch foundation.

Eyelet Stitch
Eyelets are small openings in a ‘crochet fabric’ used to create a visual pattern.

Tunisian Eyelets are formed by:
On the Forward pass, wrap yarn over hook, skip 1 stitch, and continue picking up loops as you normally would for Tunisian Crochet.  
On the Return, drop the loops off as you normally would, AND treat the Yo thread as a loop, working it off just as you do the loops.
The Tunisian Knit or Simple Stitches are the best choices for the background stitch when using Eyelets.

Detailed Instructions:
Row 1 Forward: Pull loops onto hook as you normally would for Tks or Tss.  When you come to the Eyelet placement, Yo hk and skip one st.  Continue alternating Loops and Yo/Sk St to create your desired visual pattern.
Row 1 Return: Drop loops off as you normally would for Tunisian Crochet.

Treat each Yo sp as a loop and drop it off as you do the other loops.  This will create a small *hole* in the fabric of your piece.  Placement of eyelets can create many different visual patterns such as diagonal stripes, argyle criss cross, or use a Cross Stitch pattern to create a simple picture.
