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

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

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!!

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

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!!!

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

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 Жыл бұрын

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!

When creating your own designs, how do you figure out what stitch to use. For instance do 2 double crochet's normally equal one row as far as keeping things square (I would assume the size of the hook comes into play as well as the weight of the yarn). I am using standard weight Red heart and need to know what hook and what stitch to make it come out square.

@CozyNooksDesigns Ай бұрын

When doing a C2C, a ch 3, dc 3 is a "square" typically. Is that what you're referencing? Or you are trying to make a square piece, and you are trying to figure out what how many stitches to start with and what stitch to use?

@@CozyNooksDesigns Thanks for the quick reply! I am going to make a square and no matter which shape, a grid pattern I believe, is designed with the idea that the "squares" in the design are equal in height and width. So if you call each row the height would the corresponding width of a grid square be a single crochet, half double, double, 2 doubles. And to further complicate I would assume that would vary depending on weight of yard, size of hook. A site that I was looking at that was sharing designs was using 55 rows and 110 double crochets so each square on the design grid was 2 double crochets. However, as she mentions the finished product came out 24" X 32" so I don't think it comes out exactly square using those stiches, hook & yarn. I am just concerned about the finished product coming out skewed from the design on paper. Maybe it will require experimenting with different stitches and hooks to see what comes out square. Thanks for the video

@@suzcomptime Yes that's a good idea to start experimenting. Hard to say, but you've definitely got the right idea of how to do it. Sounds like a fun pattern!

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.

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 10 ай бұрын

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 10 ай бұрын

@@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!

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

@CozyNooksDesigns 6 ай бұрын

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

What’s the difference between tapestry and intarsia

@CozyNooksDesigns 2 жыл бұрын

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.
