VIKING KNOT TUTORIAL - how to mix TAPESTRY & MOSAIC CROCHET

In this video tutorial I show you how to mix two crochet techniques: TAPESTRY & MOSAIC crochet. That is how to use 2 colors in one row, which I will sometimes mix in with Mosaic Crochet to get that extra "umph" in the pattern / color change! We do this while working my VIKING KNOT pattern and I also show you a full whole repeat of this continuous pattern, as well as how to keep going.
You can work the VIKING KNOT pattern both flat to make a blanket and in the round to make a cushion. Here I show you how to work it flat, but you can check out my Beginners Guide to Mosaic crochet, lesson #4, to see how to do this in the round!
My hope is that you will have fun with this pattern and that you´ll make all kinds of wonderful VIKING KNOT projects!
Viking Knot pattern is available in my Ravelry store:

and if you need any further assistance with my patterns, or just want to show off your beautiful makes made with my designs, please consider joining in on the fun in my Facebook group!

[@shellybriggs6347]

I am watching to get the nerve to start one of your projects. You are simply adorable and super fun!

[@missangie1562]

I absolutely just love your vibe. You are the sweetest thang ever!! ❤❤❤ I also love your mosaic patterns. They are amazingly beautiful as is your personality. ❤thank you for being you!!

[@grantharper6033]

Oh my goodness Tinna. I hope this comment picks you up as much as this video has,picked me up. I’m currently on my first project and in for a penny in for a pound, it’s a blanket but with the easiest pattern, the apache. So this is a lovely design but when you got to the row of mixed techniques of mosaic and tapestry I was sat here almost peeing myself laughing at you.. ‘it’s easy, it’s ghastly, it’s tedious, it’s easy, I hate it…’ You’re a fantastic teacher and I’m loving my new hobby, and yes it is definitely addictive, but it’s made all the more enjoyable having your tutorials to guide me. One thing I am sure of is that on an evening out with your friends you are the life and soul, the entertainment and the best fun of the night. God bless you, Merry Christmas and look forward to your return in the New Year.

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

Haha this sure did pick me up! Thank you so much 😂🥰 I’m precisely taking a break from the boxes and moving preparations tonight and going out with my bestie… let’s see if I get her to pee her pants too 😉😂😂😂 merry Christmas and see you in the new year!

[@paulakoncki4029]

Oh definitely a Blanket!! It looks complicated! but I Bett after watching your well explained tutorial it will be child’s play! Regards from South Africa 🥰🧶🌼

[@gramasugar]

Thankyou you are an excellent teacher. Very thorough. I appreciate your tutorials very much. You have amazing pattetns

[@gingerfoxx1476]

Having watched this entire video, I have to say Tinna, I share your struggle. As beautiful and versatile as all these designs are, I can't stop myself from continually making blankets! I guess when you have a design and color combination you love, you cannot stop yourself from wanting to see it BIGGER.

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

Exactly!! BIG is better!! 😉😂😂😂

[@zz5782]

Tapestry begins at row 27, at 1:13:36 about 3/4 of the way through. Thanks!

[@picnicphoto]

Thank you

[@micheleaime]

Thank you!!! I watched til row 25 ten times and thought I was going crazy 😂 Your tip and Tinna’s “just ghastly” saved my sanity 😂

[@vhst90]

This is an amazing pattern, thank you so much Tinna! It is awesome seeing you more often, dont worry about not being able to put up videos every week, its a joy to see you put up videos whenever you can! I dream to be able to meet you in person one day in Iceland and spend the day crochetting and learning from you! Do keep safe! Hugs ♥️

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

[@thejkennedy]

Love your patterns Tinna. Somehow they manage to be classic and modern at the same time - I love that look. I visited Iceland a couple of years ago - your intro reminds me of that wonderful time so I enjoy seeing the intro as much as the rest of the video!

This is great. And it’s almost a happy Iceland day! One more day. I was there on Iceland day in 2017. Lots of music that night in Reykjavík. I arrived that morning and heard lots of music from my hotel room. I wish I didn’t have such jetlag or I would’ve been able to go to see the Bands. 🇮🇸

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

Haha yes, it’s almost our Independence Day! ❤️❤️❤️

[@jolibarbosa8698]

[@redley71]

Oh, how I hate tapestry crochet! It's so validating that Tinna shares my opinion about this technique 😂, but I'm willing to give it a try for this pattern. Thanks for the video!

[@Bethabara9]

Great tutorial. Such a happy person and you always make me laugh!

[@peachesfireside178]

I really enjoy watching and listening to you! You are starlight. I think it would be interesting and great to see all the blankets you have made. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Small projects are fantastic for this time of year.

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

Love, your intro, your style and technique!!! So Refreshingly Beautiful, I just subscribed.

[@BacktheBlue60]

This is the happiest I have felt in a good while. I am so excited to make this. I didn't go to the learning how to do the mosaic stitch, but am following along nicely. I've been crocheting for 50 years. I am 1% Scandinavian, so technically kinda sorta a viking. Well, my son is an Odinist and I am a die hard fan of all thing viking. I will surprise my son with a blanket for when he comes home in 2 years. Thank you so much 💓

[@joanphillips4782]

Oh wow! I love your patterns and your tutorials. I have recently taken up mosaic crochet and your double boarder has been a life changer. It is actually what made me finally take up mosaic as I really loved it but the thought of weaving in all the ends kept me away from it. I really want to try this viking knot it is gorgeous. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

Thank you so much ☺️ hope you have fun with mosaics!! ❤️❤️🤸🏻‍♀️

[@sabrinathomas2604]

Thank you for this video Tinna!! I will be using this pattern to make a blanket for my neighbors son for Christmas!! He has a little sister and i have already started her blanket!!

Love ❤️ your sticky notes. Where did you get them? Maybe fold small sample in half and sew sides, stuff a bit , add a small bell and make a viking knot cat toy. Leave fringe. Cats love the fringe . Smile 😜😁

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

Thank you ☺️ and I got those sticky notes at a super funny local book shop in the suburbs of reykjavík… I’m always on the hunt for funny sticky notes now 😉😂❤️

@@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar Found some of those notes and other cute shapes on Amazon. They seem to have almost everything anyone could ever want!!!!! Smile 😜😁

[@direvigour]

What a beautiful pattern! Thank you for the tutorial and a little laugh (or let's say a lot of) 😂. Well, I am with you on 2 things, I love making blankets and gets intimidated by the soubd of TAPESTRY CROCHET. 😁 But the good news is we only have just one row with it so I m not worried too much. Lo Please Keep bringing us your gorgeous designs. And congratulations on the million views. You are the mosaic queen! Love from London.

[@drumpointer]

Tinna, first, I love you and your work. I’ve been lingering around your videos for a couple of years thinking that I couldn’t do it, even though you say it’s easy. I finally took the time to view your introductory video on mosaic, and, duh, it is easy. Now I’m trying to mentally figure out the pros and cons of the 2 row method, and I’m also intensely interested in the filet mesh method as I love, love, love reversible patterns. (Full disclosure, I am an expert knitter of 35 years experience, started knitting when I was 35, believe it or not always intimidated by crochet … until now-so excited!) I’m finishing my first project which is Martin Upnorth’s baby “size” blanket (much too thick and heavy in worsted weight to actually be a baby blanket) and am loving it. I’ll be using it as a bath mat. Now my critical comment. Even though I don’t share your aversion to tapestry crochet I would use the intarsia technique for row 27. It’s only 3 single crochet stitches out of a 24 stitch repeat. Also, if you were to use the tapestry technique why attach both colors at the edge? Why not introduce it mid row when it is first needed?. Did you think of that or am I missing something? Still, changing colors mid row in crochet is still the same (objection) regardless of technique. Also, now this is a very silly observation: when crocheting the last stitch (sc) and chain 1in the row, why cut the yarn before making the final chain? Why not chain 1 after the single crochet and then cut the yarn? I’ve seen many people do what you do and it puzzles me. Is there an advantage to your method I’m not seeing? Thanks again.

[@TinnaThorudottirThorvaldar]

Thank you so much for your support and input ❤️ to answer your questions, I prefer tapestry to intarsia here because that way I don’t have to deal with all the extra besas mis row 😉 same answer for starting with both colors ay beginning of row/round. Gives consistency if the back is showing and then the new color end will go inside the double border as well 😉 and lastly, I cut my yarn before that last chain because I pull that one straight up and out, so it’s just fewer movements to do it like this ❤️ xoxo tinna.
