It could be bc you’re not rolling the non-dominant color towards the wrong side. So if it is showing on the right side, that may mean that when you’re crocheting on the wrong side, you may not be rolling the color you’re carrying towards you. Does that make sense? You want it to be hidden on the wrong side. It also may mean you need to go down a hook or two in size. ❤️
I have never done tapestry crochet before even though I have crocheted and knit for 50(!) years. So I almost cried when my very bright orange yarn was SO visible being carried with the white yarn. But then I found YOUR post - and I am smiling again!
So frustrated because I just finished multiple tapestry projects with all my yarn peaking and now I find this video. Thank you for the tips! I will use them moving forward!!!
this video is 18/10-so helpful. i just did my first square with tapestry crochet, i used dark blue and white and nothing peeks through!! this makes me so excited for future projects, thank you so much for this tutorial
This method is genuinely such a lifesaver - I'm crocheting a gift for a friend and this made it 10x easier to make it look just that bit more professional
this is amazing!! i struggled so much with my first tapestry project because my colour always showed. I'm planning on making a tapestry bag with my friend and i was honestly dreading it because of how much trouble i had, but this is a game changer! i can't wait to try it out, thank you so much for sharing :)
I was doing my first big project (a tote bag). It was on black and white, and it turned out a complete disaster. I'll try this method 100%. Thank you!!!
That looks great ! I started working on a piece with cut and tie method, i think i would try this and tell if it works (moon and sun shapes) Thank you 🪻
OMG yesss!!! Ive been doing crochet wall hangings, and have been getting so frustrated seeing the colors peek through!! I cant wait to try this, thanks so much!
I was thinking about doing some tapestry crochet but not really sure now. It appears that it is a big deal when there are huge contrasts in color. The type of yarn used and how tight the stitches would seemingly play a role as well. Even though this is an interesting fix for one-sided items like purses, it does seem like a pain in the rear.
Me looking at the almost completed graph sweater I was working on…😮😩 Do I start again?!? 😂 For real though, thank you for the trick! Will definitely use in the future!!!
Good question! I explain that at 2:40 . Basically, floating the yarn every other stitch helps curve it around the small hole that is made when you make a single crochet.
I basically floated the yarn that was not in use for my knitting when I knitted sweaters [and sort of tried to do the same thing with crochet]. But I do prefer to crochet HDC for stitches that have more than one color [or straightforward back-and-forth crochet]. I just am not particularly impressed with how sc crochet stitches turn out when they are not in the round. Thank you for your interesting and informative video. I am looking into pixel crochet and Mozaic crochet.
@@CozyNooksDesigns Thank you very much! And thank you for sharing your epiphany with us. It helped me remember how I used it with knitting. Knitting is certanly easier to weave the yarn/s that are not in use and I have been wanting to find a way to do the same thing using crochet. Plastic canvas is also an interesting craft and cross stitch charts can be used for charts to do more than that particular craft. The charts can be used for crochet patterns as well- especially as in [pixel crochet] projects. Thank you for sharing.
Perhaps slipstitch? But that might be too bulky. I know that sc probably would work out better, I just like what sc in the round looks like better than back and forth.
Yes! Make a square with the design you want using Stitch Fiddle. It is a free program that makes designing patterns much more simple. I'm hoping to have a Video Tutorial using Stitch Fiddle up within the next month. ❤
@@CozyNooksDesignsYou say there are some differences between your secret method and Fair Isle crochet. If I may, what are those differences? Thank you 🙏🥰
@@rosy111 fair isle crochet uses larger floats on the wrong side. You float the yarn 3 or 4 stitches at a time, whereas this way does it every stitch so it bends around the small gap in each stitch.
It's definitely helped, but my yarn is still showing through! I'm using DK yarn with a 5mm hook so don't know if that's bad but I need it for the size of my crochet. Have been trying to keep everything taut.
A 5 mm is a bit loose for tapestry crochet. Typically tapestry crochet uses a smaller hook, but that does make it hard when you need the drape of a bigger hook.
Is this like floating and carrying on the yarn at the same time? Do we have to skip only 1 stitch for floating? Or can we skip more than 1 stitch like 3-4 for big projects? I'm a beginner, please help.
I'd recommend only floating 1 stitch at a time, but you can do more than one. If you do float more than one stitch at a time, make sure the yarn isn't too tight or it will cinch your fabric.
Hi, may I ask you how can I know which stitch should I "sandwich" the unused yarn, and which stitch should I "float" the unused yarn? Is it always the first stitch in new color that i should "sandwich" the unused yarn?
I prefer to have the last stitch before the new color change to be a "sandwich" rather than a float, so i always count back from that. BUT it really doesn't matter. 😀
Hi, I'm floating my yarn as per your tutorial but it is causing uneven tension throughout the piece as the start and ends have no unworked yarn carrying over. How do I fix this or am I doing something wrong?
If you have more than two colors, you can float more, but that isn’t my favorite. It can really mess with gauge bc the stitches carrying/hiding the yarn becomes too big.
Honestly if it was me personally I would just frog and redo. I do this every time I find a better technique for something I’m doing, and as tedious and painstaking as it is, I end up liking the end result better
I want to start doing tapestry/intarsia crochet but one thing that worries me are the yarns tangling with one another, especially if i use more than two colors - say 3-4 colors. Has it happened to you when you’ve used more than 2 colors? Or is there a way to prevent the yarns from tangling with one another?
I've seen a lot of people who have found clever ways or contraptions to easily untangle them. My preferred method? instagram.com/reel/CVVWFCSDbEf/ haha
It can be tricky to do with more than two colors. I usually try to only keep it to two. But it can be done with more. You just have to be careful that the floats are loose enough that it isn’t leaking through the small hole that a single crochet makes.
The color still pokes through when I’m working on the right side. What could I be doing wrong?
It could be bc you’re not rolling the non-dominant color towards the wrong side. So if it is showing on the right side, that may mean that when you’re crocheting on the wrong side, you may not be rolling the color you’re carrying towards you. Does that make sense? You want it to be hidden on the wrong side. It also may mean you need to go down a hook or two in size. ❤️
Thank you so much! I've always shyed away from tapestry crochet because of the show through. Total game changer!!! You Rock!!!

Yay! I am so glad that this helps you! it can be awkward to work the back like that at first, but now I've gotten pretty used to it and can go fast.
i’m actually so in awe at how well this works and how easy it is
It has become second nature for me to crochet the wrong side like this now. It really is so easy!
Mind blown 🤯 I always hated how I could see the yarn colour peeking through. Thank u so much for this tutorial x
It would bug me so much too!

Thank you so dang much. You've changed my life with both this no show thru method, and the tidbit about yarning UNDER instead of over.
I'm so happy this has helped you so much! ❤
Thanks that was only thing I did not like about tapestry stitches showing through! God bless you dear♥️🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️💗♥️🙏

You can always do intarsia crochet if you have something that isn’t one sided! ❤️
very good... one questions, this way to crochet is not more difficult? i guess we can forget somemoments to do this... thank you for vídeo
It isn't that much more difficult once you get used to it!
This is so neat! Would this method work when working with more than two colors?
I've done it with more than 2 colors in the past, and it worked great still.
Awesome! Can’t wait to try this. Thank you (:
Thank u 😍😍
Me looking at the almost completed graph sweater I was working on…😮😩 Do I start again?!? 😂
For real though, thank you for the trick! Will definitely use in the future!!!
Oh no! I bet the sweater is beautiful though! glad it can help you for the future. :)
Awesome!! Thank you ✨🌼☀️
You're welcome! ♥

With fair isle knitting the float can be 4 stitches, so I suspect you can do the same with tapestry crochet.
This is nice but I still carry to the end as the weight will be off on the edge.

This is fair isle, not tapestry technique.
