I am always on the lookout for new techniques and ideas when it comes to crochet and recently, I came across something called tapestry crochet. This technique will allow you to make the most beautiful and intricate designs – some can look very complex and you might think that they are for very experienced crocheters – but other than multiple colour changes, tapestry crochet is practically the same as normal crochet, using a single crochet as the main stitch, and using several colours of yarn at the same time.  So give it a try!

Here is my first attempt where I wanted to get a feel of the technique – the pattern I made up as I went along.  It’s a little bowl 🙂

If you’re new to tapestry crochet, this step-by-step Tapestry Crochet Tutorial → has some useful tips on carrying your yarn, changing colours and getting started with the technique.

Now – I’m off to start my next tapestry crochet project – so stay tuned….
