Tapestry Crochet Blankets
14 beautiful free blanket patterns to inspire your next colourwork crochet project.
Tapestry crochet is a colourwork technique where you crochet with two or more colours at the same time to create clear motifs, geometric patterns, or picture-style designs.
The unused yarn is carried along and worked over as you crochet, which keeps everything tidy and gives the fabric a firm, sturdy feel. It’s a fun, practical method that works especially well for projects where you want crisp colour changes that really stand out.
