Learn to Tapestry Crochet

Tapestry Crochet Basics includes step-by-step photo tutorials that demonstrate 3 different tapestry crochet stitch techniques. It also includes 6 projects that you can crochet to practice your new skills.

Tutorials

The tutorials included demonstrate how to work tapestry crochet:

  1. Single Crochet in Rows
  2. Back Loop Single Crochet in Rounds
  3. Back Loop Double Crochet in Rounds

The straightforward tutorial instructions take you through the process of carrying your unused yarn color and how to change yarn colors as you crochet across rows and rounds. There are also instructions included to show you how to manage the spot where your rounds meet when you are crochet projects like the Blending Colors Hat. A photo tutorial has also been included to demonstrate how to create the Eyelets used in the Tie-Up Choker and the Spanish Tile Bag. The photo tutorials are provided from page 2-9.

Each pattern included in Learn to Tapestry Crochet is written in U.S. (American) Crochet Terms. The row and round numbers are provided in bold font making it easy to scan the pattern to locate the information that you are looking for. Gauge is provided at the beginning of each written pattern and it varies for each of the designs. Additional pattern notes are included where they are needed within the written pattern in italics and in parenthesis.

Color charts are also included for the patterns.  The full written instructions have also been provided so you can choose whether you would prefer to follow the written instructions, or the simple color charts.

Pattern Notes

Please take the time to read the Pattern Notes in full at the beginning of each pattern, as they include important information that you need to know to be able to successfully crochet your chosen projects.

    I haven’t learned tapestry of caring yarn yet, but I am intrigued. I use bobbins for graphghans but have never carried the yarn. These look like small enough of projects that I could possibly tackle them.
    Thank you for your review.

  4. Ginny Brennan says

    I like that the book tells you how to carry the unused color, and how to change colors. I would try to make the hat.

  5. Shannon says

    22/04/2018 at 9:16 AM

    I think I’d try the Spanish tiles bag first, also. I’ve always wanted to try tapestry crochet, but have been overwhelmed by the thought of all those color changes and all that yarn-carrying! Maybe with the tutorials in this book it will be a less daunting project!

  6. Mearla VanDenBerg says

    19/04/2018 at 1:15 AM

    Thank you for your review of this book. Like you, I’ve been fascinated by the Mochila bags, but wasn’t sure that I could master the tapestry technique. You review of this book encouraged me to order it and learn the basics of tapestry crochet. Excited to start this new technique!

  11. Martha says

    26/03/2018 at 4:26 PM

    Love the socks and bag – but I find it difficult to find patterns easy to follow for tapestry, as they normally do not have a step-by-step method and I get lost in all the voodoo of tapestry crochet, so I never go any further than just getting the patterns.

  12. Susan Bryant says

    23/03/2018 at 6:58 PM

    I think your two favorites are mine, as well, I love that hat!

  13. Grace Hodgin says
