Bonjour Tonya. I'm in a pickle with an alphabet cube as I had no idea about «tapestry crochet». Actually this is my first time hearing the term as I was searching some help. Thank you very much for uploading your video. It helps!!!
Wonderful! Glad it was helpful. 😊❤️
Thank you I enjoy your video
I'm so glad - thanks for watching! 💕🌸
Thank you so much! :)
You are welcome Frida - so glad you found it helpful! ❤️😊
Your yarn under technique is called the square single crochet, or SSC, that you will see in a lot of “vintage” patterns.😊
Good work🍀👍
Thank you so much! 😊
감사합니다
많은 도움이 되었네요
That yarn under tip? 🤯 Thank you!
Wonderful - so glad you found it helpful ❤️😊
Do you have a class on tapestry crochet in the round. You give excellent instructions.
I don't have a video for tapestry in the round at this time but this is a great idea - thank you! 😊
Thank you--this is so helpful!l About the yarn-under technique...would you use that throughout the whole project, or just when you're changing colors?
So glad you found it helpful Valerie! To give the project the same look throughout I would recommend using for the whole project. However, if you have a large section without color changes and the yarn over is more comfortable for you it wouldn't affect it wouldn't be obvious. Hope that helps! 😊
@@nanascraftyhome It does, thanks! I'll have to play around with it. Thanks for the quick response!
@TonyaBush is there a way to carry the yarn when doing foundation single crochet? If so- how do you work that in? In the meantime, i'm gonna wing it and see if I can report back with my jury-rigged approach!
sidenote: I'm trying to do a houndstooth thing in several patches.
I have never tried to carry yarn when doing the foundation single crochet let me know if you try it and how it goes!
Thank you so.much for this video. In Tapestry we use only Single crochet Stiches?Can you pls clarify this doubt to me ??
While single crochet is most-often used for tapestry crochet, you can also work tapestry crochet using half double crochet or double crochet stitches. The basic premise I show in the video would be the same for other stitches as well. I hope that helps!😊
Ur tutorial is amazing🥰 i hate the fact though that i can see the other color through it... like even on a few sweaters ive bought from stores i hate seeing the second color lol idky... 🙄 tis my downfall with my trying tapestries
I know just what you mean Sarah! My perfectionist side always hates seeing it, too. If I can get away with it I will drop a color and pick it back up again if possible rather than carry it depending on the project - more intarsia style than tapestry. I will have to work on a tutorial for that! ❤️
Hi Tonya. ! So between the two diamond points there's 2 stitches in tan before starting the next diamond ?
There is just one tan stitch between the points of the diamond going around on the bag. Referencing the color graph row 8, the 1st stitch of row 8 is blue. On the other side of the graph before starting the repeat -- row 8 stitch #16 is tan. You repeat that pattern around so there will be only 1 tan stitch between diamonds. I hope that helps! Let me know if I misunderstood the question or you have anything further. 😊
with the yarn under technique, do you do that throughout the whole project or just when handling the second colour?
It isn't strictly necessary to work it throughout your project but there is a subtle difference between the look of the sc stitches. I would recommend working up a swatch and seeing what you are comfortable with. I hope that helps! 🌸
Thanks for the nice video :-)
Can someone explain to me why you always carry the aqua yarn all the way to the edge? Couldn't you just leave it hanging there an pick it back up when you need it, since you are not going to use the aqua until you are back in the same spot?
Also, I just realized that I have always been doing "yarn under" and I had no idea that that was not the default ;-) oops
Depending upon your graph and project you may not have that dropped yarn available to pick up where you will need it again. This will end up creating a lot of additional ends to weave in at the end of your project as you bring in multiple strands of yarn to work your graph. If you are working in the round and it doesn't matter if you see yarn floats on the back of your work, you could drop your yarn and float it over to where you need it again. I also wouldn't recommend carrying yarn for just portions of the project as this will affect the look of your finished item - thickness will vary depending on carrying/not carrying sections as well as the overall color of the project will be different because you do end up with some color "bleed" from carrying yarn. I hope that makes sense! 😊
Thank you so much. I am doing a CAL that involves loads of chains behind a row of Xmas tree motifs. This makes it totally unsuitable for my grandson because the long chains are going to get stuck in everything. So I thought I would find out about tapestry crochet. Your teaching is wonderful and your video so clear. I am going to frog what I have done and do it in tapestry instead. I've just got to adapt the written pattern ???? Wish me luck lol. Thank you again.
So glad you found it helpful! Good luck! 😊❤️
I'm making an afghan with tapestry crochet throughout. According to your instructions I need to carry the second color all the way through. This means I have to purchase double the amount of yarn called for in the pattern. Am I understanding this correctly? This is going to be my first try. Thanks.
I am happy to help! If you are using someone's pattern they should be indicating how much yarn you would be using total - even if you are carrying the yarn throughout. However, I would recommend ordering some "extra" just in case. You won't be using as much as double because carrying doesn't use as much as a single crochet stitch would. I hope this makes sense - and have fun trying your hand at tapestry! 💕
Are you adding a chain for starting your project turning chain ?
Yes, when working tapestry in turned rows I am starting each row with a ch-1. I hope that helps! 💕🌸
i dont get why ur carrying a row ahead. my first one im trying has 3 dif colors all through it. so am i carrying two ??
do you always ch1?
why with the base color did you not hide in back?
Could I use this technique for clothing that doesn't use granny squares?
Absolutely - you can take this technique to anything you want to make - clothing, bags, home decor - the sky is the limit!
Just released that I've actually never yarned over😂 I always grab it from under because I'm left handed
I hear that a lot 😊 Gives your stitch an extra little texture 💕🌸
If my rows 1,2 is one color and rows 3,4 is in a different color, do I still carry the other color from row 1?
If you will be continuing to use the color from row 1 then yes. If no then I would drop it and pull it back into your work once you need it again. I hope that helps!
What website or app can I use to create the graph?
I use Stitch Fiddle to create all of my graphs. I have a tutorial for how to use it here: czcams.com/video/EPBTVrCZouk/video.html
I can’t find the graph for the coaster ... is there a link ( I checked your website too :(
Sorry you had trouble locating the graph! It is within this blog post right under the heading "How to read graphs in Tapestry Crochet". Hope that helps! nanascraftyhome.com/tapestry-crochet-tutorial/
@@nanascraftyhome Thank you so much for replying. I just checked again on my iPhone, iPad and MacBook. It looks like the link used to be there. Don't mean to be a bother, I'm stuck in the house during hurricane Dorian and this would be great time to practice :)
So sorry -- I am happy to email it to you if you would like to email me at nanascraftyhome@gmail.com I will get it right out to you! And -- stay safe! 🤗
Tonya Bush You are awesome , Will Do and 😊Thank You!
What program do you use to make those designs ?
I use an online service called Stitch Fiddle to create my graphs. I have a tutorial on how to use it here: czcams.com/video/EPBTVrCZouk/video.html I hope you find it helpful! 🌸💕
@@nanascraftyhome o ok. I know what are u talking about. I’ll watch your tutorial. Thank you for answered me back.

Where can I find tapestry?
Please answer quickly 🙏
Are you looking for the tapestry graph I show in the video? If yes the free graph can be found at this link: nanascraftyhome.com/tapestry-crochet-tutorial/ If you are looking for something else please let me know. 😊
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@nanascraftyhome please can you tell me another webs to get another graphs please 😅☺️
@@yoanabekhiet7312 Divine Debris is another designer and she has a lot of tapestry patterns here is a link: divinedebris.com/free-patterns-hats-wall-hangings/. If you want to create your own graphs I recommend Stitch Fiddle which you can find here: www.stitchfiddle.com I hope that helps! 😊
@@nanascraftyhome thnx for all websites you provided me ❤️❤️❤️❤️😊
I have tried and tried this. Over and over. And it always comes out a hot mess. I keep the yarn in front for the wrong side and behind for the right side, but it just looks like I don’t switch it, I guess? It’s wonky 😫
Oh no - I am so sorry you are having trouble! I would recommend practicing carrying yarn only one direction until you become more used to it. This is one of those techniques that definitely gets easier with practice. I hope it gets better! 😊
I actually have no problem in the round, just when I switch directions lol. And this video is the BEST video out there... it could not be made any better.
My issue is that the front doesn’t look like the back... could it just be I’m expecting too much of a congruence? Lol or maybe it’s because I’m trying to do a single stitch diagonal? (My own graph)
I pick things up super easily, but I’m also still relatively new to crochet haha 😝 thank you for your response!!
@@rmeredithm I understand now! Well, I will say that working row by row in tapestry crochet that it won't look exactly the same from row to row. There will be some variation. You can see what I mean in the close up photos I have in my tutorial here: nanascraftyhome.com/tapestry-crochet-tutorial/. However, I think it isn't noticeable in the final project. I am so glad you found the video helpful! Good luck 😊❤️
