How-To Tapestry Crochet In The Round

Learn the basics to start working with tapestry crochet in the round, with single crochet, in #TechniqueTuesday with Maria from Chabepatterns and then crochet her adorable Unicorn Coin Purse.

• 

  Step 1

  Start the first single crochet of the round and stop before the last yarn over

  Step 2

  Place the second color between the hook and the working yarn, leaving a 10 cm tail

• 

  Step 3

  Yarn over with the working yarn

• 

  Step 4

  And close the single crochet with the second color wrapped inside. Place a marker in the firs stitch.

• 

  Step 5

  For following single crochets, insert the hook in next stitch going under the second color, yarn over with working color

• 

  Step 6

  And complete the single crochet with the second color wrapped inside

• 

  Step 7

  To change color, work the last single crochet before the color change just before the last yarn over, lift second color in front of main color

• 

  Step 8

  Yarn over with second color and close the single crochet

• 

  Step 9

  And work necessary stitches with second color now wrapping main color inside

• 

  Step 10

  To change back to main color, work the last single crochet before the color change just before the last yarn over, lift main color behind second color

• 

  Step 11

  Yarn over with main color and close the single crochet. Manage the threads this way for every color change to prevent yarns from getting tangled
