I’ve used Stylecraft Special DK to make him but you can use any yarn and colours you fancy.Įach block is approximately 5 inches x 6 inches with a 3mm hook or 4.5 inches x 7 inches if you use a 4mm hook. This week’s graph is for this cute seahorse. At the end you can make this colourful bunting: If you’re new to my blog just a quick recap, I’m going to be posting a tapestry crochet graph each week until there are 9 squares. Below you can find the photo instructions showing how make these samples.Yay! Part 2 of my tapestry crochet bunting is ready for you today. Take a look at the sample with double crochets: here the triangles are very tall and thin. The taller the stitch that you use, the more extended pattern you will get. As a single crochet is almost a square stitch, the sample looks closest to the picture in the chart. In the photos below you can see the difference between them.
In the first example, I use the usual single crochet, in the second example, a half double crochet, and in the third one, a double crochet. This tutorial includes three examples how you could use tapestry crochet working in rows.
When you are working in rounds, you always read the pattern from right to left because you don’t turn your work around at the end each round. Then you will turn your work around and read the pattern from right to left. So, you will make two gray stitches, then three white, two gray, three white and repeat this until the end of the row. Now you have to read the pattern from left to right. When you will finish the row, you will turn your work around. It goes like this until the end of the row and you will finish with the gray stitch (square 30:1). If you are working in rows, you will read the pattern starting from the right side, from the square 1:1, and move to the left: it says to make 4 white stitches, one gray stitch, 4 white, then one gray again. How you will read the chart will depend if you are working in rows or in rounds. The foundation chain should be in the same color as the square 1:1. The rows in the chart marks a number of rows the foundation chain does not count as a row. Then, depending on the stitch you will use, you will add one, two or three for a turning chain. In the chart that you see below, there are 30 columns, which means that you should start by chaining 30. The number of columns tells the number of stitches in one row or round. Each square indicates one stitch: it can be a single crochet, a double crochet, etc. The chart for tapestry crochet does not indicate a particular stitch, instead is shows the color scheme you should follow.

Also, it shows the difference of using a single crochet (sc), a half double crochet (hdc), a double crochet (dc) and a modified single crochet (msc) in tapestry crochet.

This tutorial shows how to use this technique and includes written step-by-step instructions with photos explaining how to read tapestry crochet charts, how to work in rows and in rounds.
