Tapestry Crochet

I had never tried tapestry crochet before designing this square, so I came up with a simple yet effective design.

This is the perfect beginners project for tapestry crochet, as it has very few colour changes, and you can carry the yarn between the colour blocks.

Never having done Tapestry crochet before, I looked to some of my fellow designers for top tips.

For Tips on Tapestry Crochet I can not recommend enough

What you need to know about Tapestry Crochet

It’s usually done in Single crochet (USA)
To change colour you can either carry the yarn, or “drop the yarn”
If you carry the yarn, the “crochet fabric” will be double the thickness, so depending on your project you may need to factor that in.
To “carry” the yarn, make sure the yarn is at the “back” of the stitch – this will change depending on what side you are working on.

I am no expert, but I can tell you what I learnt!
