Flat Tapestry Crochet HACK 🤩 🧶

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Here's a fun little hack to help improve the look of single crochet rows and flat tapestry crochet. Let me know if you would like to learn more about tapestry or intarsia crochet. It's a lot of fun and I have tips for that in general as well especially if you're a beginner. xx

Learning the reverse or backwards single crochet would be a game changer for you… no having to carry yarn across.. work back and forth yet from is cohesive.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I do know how to do it but didn’t realize it would work for something like this Are you sure it would? Can you confirm. If so I’ll make a video about it , thanks!

[@KimmyGibbler7]

I think it could for sure!!! As long as you keep all of your ends to the one side. It might be more tedious but I think it’s awesome because it doesn’t waste yarn and can be used for big projects like blankets or sweaters.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Hello, thanks so much the fantastic hack. I am beginner as well your videos helps me so much. But i do have a one question. I am working on a tote bag with a star on it right now. My question is one the back side after i finished crocheting after dropping and dropping the secondary color, how do you fix the backside that is hanging the secondary color, is there a way to make the backside more neater? Maybe sewing the hanging colors into the project?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Exactly - once you have completed your project (or when you’re sure you don’t need those colors anymore) you can weave in the loose strands to hide them and make them disappear. 👍🏻💕💕

[@demyjc3400]

Thanks 😊 could you please do us tutorial on tapestry, I am totally beginner to tapestry work

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I will soon 💕

[@kayjeanne8346]

This is so helpful! Creates a much more intact look. Please do a more in-depth video. I'm subscribing and will watch. Please show the back of the work more slowly so we can see exactly which strands you're carrying and which you drop. Am I right in thinking you carried the first yellow strand, the white accent strand, and the yellow working yarn? Three strands carried behind at one time? I'd be very interested to see how this translates in a piece with five or six colors in a single row. SUPER helpful even though I have so many questions! Thank you!

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Hi and thank you for subscribing! The key with the multiple colors is only carrying it during the duration that you’re using that color and then dropping it until you need it again. The main color was always carried yes. The white was dropped as soon as I was done with it. I didn’t get a lot of interest regarding this hack so I’m not sure when I’ll do a more in depth with several colors because I recommended it for small projects . BUT , I will keep it in mind . I will be doing a tutorial regarding tapestry and intarsia crochet in the new year so I’ll play with this and see how this technique does with more color changes . I’m sorry that it wasn’t clear enough for you in this video 💕

[@kayjeanne8346]

Hi! thank you for this Wonderfull video. Im trying the yarn under technique of this hack on a blanket as we speak. But I encounter a problem. My work is slightly tilting. The ends are going diagonal. so it not straight as your sample. Please advice how to fix this.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

It sounds like a tension issue rather than losing stitches. Maybe just try to work a little looser or go up a hook size and see if that helps 💕

[@ashleylangenbach8261]

I love this but when I use it for tapestry it comes out a lot taller than the original pixel pattern like it looks stretched out. I'm going to adjust my pattern but any tips for making it stay the same shape or something im doing wrong

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Gosh , well it’s mostly due to the extra thickness of yarn. What a shame. I have only used it for smaller projects so I can only offer and alternative way of working , which is doing a backward sc. Here’s a video to show you what I mean: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4mwfJafas-Spsksi=FE_yVkJsPvXiMq3Y

[@ayaclimbs7066]

Hi there. 🙋🏻‍♀️ May I know the reason you pulled back the second colour until the last stitch of the next row, before you begin the pattern for that row? Hope that makes sense. 😅

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Can you send me a time in the video where I do that - I would like to view the exact spot you’re referring to before I answer. Thanks

[@BrooklynnSmith-r5q]

When i did this, at the end where you pull thru 3 loops. That side is ending up taller than the rest of the project, did anyone else have this problem? How do i fix it?

[@jennamakesbugs]

Won't your rows begin to lean, though? When you are working ITR, your stitches lean/migrate to the left. Seems like working rows all from the RS would result in a rhombus rather than a square.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

That hasn’t been my experience, no. I use this for small projects (like I recommended in the video) so I can’t speak for larger projects. If I try it and that happens , I’ll be sure to add an addendum 🧶

Idk why the chain 1 at the beginning of each row makes the ends of my work look so bad. Is there any way to fix this?

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Omit the chain and see if you like that better. Just loosen up your tension there (pull the yarn up a little) to help You be able to work your first stitch. 👍🏻💕

[@Jumperchick11]

Does this get harder if it’s a larger tapestry? I have a blanket I am working on. Uses 3 different colors and has a frog on it….any advice is appreciated!! The pattern is all single crochet but I really feel that the other colors stand out too much while being carried and would look odd with Back loop only…

[@PlayHookywithMe]

You definitely don’t have to do back loop only with it. It helps straighten the image a little but definitely not necessary. I don’t always do it either. Carrying the main color of yarn on a large piece is doable but will expend a lot of yarn. I would recommend that you try a sample seat to see how you get on with it because it takes longer . See how it feels to work that way 💕😍

[@maryanngonzales8219]

hi! does this also work with a hdc? i'm making a bag and im using a tapestry design for the front of the bag and just plain hdc for the back. i already finished the back panel but im worried that the front panel would be a different size than the back panel if i use this technique 😭

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I think it would work with hdc but I’d recommend not doing it since it might change the tension of the second panel. Wait for another project to experiment with it 💕

[@soul_fiddler.cosplay20]

I immediately noticed she is holding the crochet hook the way i used to hold it which is wrong. Bc if u hold ur hand under like a pencil then that can cause carpal tunnel, arthritis, etc. It’s best to hold ur hand above the handle/hook. I believe I’m the only one in the comments to notice this and point it out. Im not trying to be mean I just notice little details. But the video is great keep it up. ;)

[@PlayHookywithMe]

It’s not mean but I recommend that you please do not encourage others to crochet in a way that is not comfortable to them. It’s neither the right way or the wrong way. This is comfortable to me and I’ve been crocheting for over 30 years. Daily for the past 4 years. Here is a video where I discuss this : kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZOnYn96fbeajaMsi=DrImbb3fjK3gPe0f
