Common Variations to Tunisian Crochet Stitches
I've been collecting various Tunisian Crochet stitch tutorials (see my bookmark collection). I've noticed some stitches in the collection are a combination of a base stitch plus some additional feature, and I realized that the additional features could be added to different base stitches to make even more stitch variations. So I thought I'd be systematic in cataloguing these variant features.
The base stitch used in the variants I found is usually either Tunisian Simple Stitch or Tunisian Knit Stitch, but these modifications could be done to other base stitches such as Backwards Simple Stitch or Full Stitch etc.
Extended:
After pulling up a loop, chain one.
* Seed Stitch (but I prefer to call it Extended Knit Stitch)
Doubled:
The "Double Crochet" version of a stitch. Before inserting the hook, yarn over. After pulling up a loop, yarn over and pull through two instead of one. (Likewise, trebled with treble crochet etc.)
* Double Stitch
Purled:
Do a purl-wrap on the stitch.
* Purl Stitch
Bambooed:
Add the "Bamboo Stitch" horizontal bar variation to the stitch.
* Tunisian Bamboo Stitch
Crossed:
Skip one stitch, do a stitch, go back and do the skipped stitch.
* Crossed Stitch
Then we get the stitch patterns which combine two different stitches and often get called things like "Moss Stitch" or "Seed Stitch" irrelevant of which particular two stitches are combined.
Alternating (or Ribbing)
Stitch A, followed by Stitch B.
"Rib Stitch" (using Simple Stitch and Twisted Simple Stitch)
Alternating Offset
In row 1, AB and in row 2, BA.
* "Seed Stitch" (Knit Stitch + Backwards Simple Stitch)
* "Moss Stitch" (Simple Stitch + Purl Stitch)
Basketweaving
Resembling a basket-weave; one stitch needs to have vertical bars, the other stitch needs to have horizontal bars.

Most commonly done with Knit Stitch and Purl Stitch but I think other stitches could work as well.
