What is Tapestry Crochet?

Tapestry crochet is a technique that allows you to create intricate colorwork designs in your projects. By carrying multiple yarn colours along the rows, you can produce stunning patterns and images. The Poco Drawstring Pouch is the perfect canvas to practice and perfect your tapestry crochet skills.

Choosing the Right Yarn

When embarking on a tapestry crochet project like the Poco Drawstring Pouch, selecting the right yarn is crucial. Opt for a medium-weight yarn in a variety of colours to achieve the best results. The yarn should be easy to work with and create clear colour changes in your design. In this project I am using Scheepjes Stonewashed XL, however any aran weight yarn would work well including Scheepjes Cahlista.

Mastering Colour Changes

One of the key elements of tapestry crochet is mastering colour changes. Practice carrying the yarn along the back of your work to create seamless transitions between colours. With the Poco Drawstring Pouch tutorials, you'll learn how to read colourwork charts, switch colours effectively and create intricate patterns with ease.
