3 Common Mistakes in Tapestry Crochet

After making many tapestry crochet designs and working with other crocheters, I noticed 3 common mistakes made in tapestry crochet.
The 3 common mistakes in tapestry crochet are:
1. Not accounting for gauge increase
2. Inconsistent tension
3. Not planning the next row
Tapestry crochet is my favorite, and I have learned a lot of tips along the way. Here are my 3 mistakes to avoid when doing tapestry crochet!

The third one was one of my biggest questions. Thank you so much for the help. I’m about to start my first tapestry

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

This one will sometimes mess me up still. Hate when I forget to plan ahead!

[@zenhenna84]

Thank you so much!!!

[@donnahoffmann3331]

Thank you!

[@wendyjohnson3387]

New to tapestry and intarsia. Have watched several videos on both. Your third common mistake was spot on, as I've seen this with all the other videos I've watched and wondered why they were not doing this, not knowing until I saw your video on how to actual do it cleanly. Thanks!!

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

I’m glad you found it so helpful! Intarsia and tapestry crochet is my favorite, but there is a small learning curve.

[@heidihigginbotham2783]

I’ve done lots of tapestry crochet and wish I’d seen how to float sooner; thx!!! I subscribed to your channel!

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

Yes! It's a gamechanger.

[@rochelleme83]

I'm trying to find info on these techniques but it's been difficult since I don't really know how to ask. I have a pattern but it says something about wrong side and right side. As well as different ways to drop the yarn.

[@donquellawton5984]

I just did my first tapestry crochet for a "clean/dirty" sign for the dishwasher and the backs are RIDDLED with long reaches of yarn because I could not figure out how to hide the complimentary yarn in the following stitches(you cant see it because i sewed the wrong sides together so it's a rotatable sign), thank you so much!!!

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

What a smart idea to make that sign! I need to do something like that for my house.

[@amybarbagallo2947]

I have been watching your videos to learn more about intarsia crochet. Do you have any videos or advice on how to change colors for just one stitch? Example: I have a graph that has one stitch of white between two sections of green for several rows. When I am trying to color change the single stitches, they don't really look like a stitch or uniform since it is just one stitch....any advice?

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

yes, when it is just one stitch, it can not look uniformed because when it is RS, it leans one way and WS leans the other. For my patterns, I always try to do 2 stitches at a time for this reason. Sorry!

[@Cultivatecrochet]

I want to learn this so bad 😅

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

I have a good beginner Tapestry crochet pattern coming out in January, so that may be a good place to start!

[@evekingston372]

What do you do if you are using 9/10 colours per row and have to change them often throughout?

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

Bobbins would be the best way to go managing all of those color changes. Is that your question?

[@JDomingoos]

Do you have tips on how to account for the gauge increase? It looks really important but im not sure on how to adjust it so my graph crochets look nice

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

Are you talking about adjusting the squares on the graph’s dimensions? You can adjust that in stitch fiddle if that’s what you’re asking.

[@JDomingoos]

@@CozyNooksDesigns yes, you showed how it becomes a little longer when crocheting but i have no idea how to account for that, i will look stitch fiddle up
Thanks for the answer!

[@SilviaGarciaStupervitta]

then in the true you carry the other collor? for a while?

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

yes until you need it again. ❤

[@Childofgod7131]

What’s the difference between tapestry and intarsia

[@CozyNooksDesigns]

Tapestry is carrying the yarn colors throughout the project whereas intarsia is dropping the color when you are done and picking it back up at the next row.

[@AlfonsoCococcioni-pm8wh]

Ttaduci in italiano grazie
