Tapestry crochet is a technique for creating multi-colored patterns using different colored yarns in each row or round. To Crochet Tapestry Patterns, you’ll start by selecting the colors you’d like to use for your project. Next, you’ll work with one color at a time, carrying the unused colors along the back of your work, and only working over the color you’re using in each row or round.
This technique creates a beautiful, intricate design that’s perfect for pouches, blankets, coasters, bags and other decorative items. One of the best things about tapestry crochet is that it’s very versatile, allowing you to use any stitch pattern you like. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced crocheter, tapestry crochet is a fun and creative way to add some color and interest to your projects!
Remember, tapestry crochet is a great way to use up small amounts of leftover yarn and add an extra pop of color to your crochet projects. So have fun, be creative, and enjoy the process of learning this exciting crochet technique!
Tapestry Crochet Zipper Pouch
Here is a free crochet pattern for a tapestry crochet zipper pouch with bricks. This design is quite simple and it is beginner friendly. This pattern uses a modified single crochet: make a single crochet back loop only, just instead of yarning over for the last step.
You will work in continuous rounds, which means that in the end of a round you don’t join with a slip stitch, but instead continue making modified single crochets in the top of the first stitch of the round. Remember to use a marker showing the beginning of each round. Follow the color chart showing how you should change colors.
Round 1: To make the first round, you will work down the chain, then turn and work in the other side of the chain. Make sc in every st of the chain starting from the second chain from your hook. Turn. 1 sc in the end of the chain, make sc in every st (starting with the one you have just worked into; now that st has 3 sc in total) until you come back to the beginning of the chain. 1 sc in the end of the chain. In total you should have 64 st. Don’t join with a sl st, instead continue with the next round.
Now add lilac yarn and follow the color chart for all rounds until the end.
