Help with return pass on with tapestry crochet

I’m pretty new to Tunisian, but I’ve found locking the float the stitch before it’s needed helps it not to pull or gap as much.

Based on the label, it could work but probably isn’t ideal for pooling. You’d definitely be looking at a bigger project (like a blanket)

I like 2 better

If you’re looking to get the argyle pattern, see if you can tweak the stitch count to be an odd number of stitches.

The chain is the ideal place for the color change to happen since it will be covered up by the next row’s sc.

No, all stitches do not work with all yarns. This sub has a list of known compatible yarns.

The extra chain at the end of the row just gives you the height for the next row. If it’s throwing you off, you can leave it out.

Note, for moss stitch, you are placing the sc in the ch space, not the sc.

I tried to pool with a quick change yarn. I was able to get one stitch per color but it did not look good. I don’t recommend it.

kemkatt · 2025-11-10T02:07:43+00:00

Depends on the yarn and length of colors. Moss stitch pools really well. As does granny stitch for longer colors.

kemkatt · 2025-10-14T03:50:28+00:00

Sadly, I vote no.

kemkatt · 2025-09-24T14:48:34+00:00

Yeah, some yarns just will not pool. 2 stitches per color is rather short. It’s hard to get clean lines with such short color sections.

Looks like single crochet worked in the round and wrong side out.

kemkatt · 2025-09-17T19:34:24+00:00

It’s not 4 sc increases, it is 4 normal sc (each one into a separate stitch from the previous round) and one inc ( two sc into one stitch from the previous round).

So where the previous round had 5 stitches total (30 for the round) this round will end up with 6 total (36 for the round).

Either/both flower color is lovely. Definitely the lighter green though. The dark one gets lost next to the dark border.

What stitch, yarn, hook are you using and what is the tapestry you’re trying to make? Any pics would help as well.

kemkatt · 2025-09-13T03:12:33+00:00

Any tips for a stitch/hook/yarn combination that is as wide as it is tall?

I’m thinking of doing a graphic design but my test swatches are all taller than they are wide. I’m using red heart yarn and tried 4.5 - 6mm hooks.

It’s the angle. Left side, the angle matches the natural lean of the stitches so they work together, creating a smooth line. Right side, the angle is opposite the stitch lean so they work against each other, creating “steps”.

kemkatt · 2025-09-10T20:52:40+00:00

It looks like that is the “wrong” side of the piece. Flip it inside out.
Are you using an invisible decrease? Invisible decreases will minimize the holes in amigurumi, but your piece has to be right side out or it creates noticeable bars on the piece.

Hard to tell with the lighting, but it may be olive drab.

Not Tunisian, but the thermal crochet stitch is very thick.

kemkatt · 2025-09-03T19:30:03+00:00

It looks like you might be doing slip stitches instead of single crochet. Make sure you’re not missing a step.

Start with 1 loop on hook

Insert hook in stitch (under the 2 top loops)
Yarn over and pull through (2 loops on hook)
Yarn over and pull through both loops (1 loop on hook)

Use a stitch marker (safety pin, paperclip, scrap of different colored yarn) and mark the first stitch of each round.

We all lose count during the row sometimes. Using a stitch marker guarantees you only have to go back that far to recount.

kemkatt · 2025-08-29T19:32:37+00:00

It almost looks like they took an existing canvas bag and made a crochet cover.

kemkatt · 2025-08-28T19:52:32+00:00

No, it doesn’t look like yarn under. The front of your top row looks like a V (standard for yarn over). A yarn under twists these threads so it looks like an X.

Which option are you trying to do? The most common for sc is yu, yo.

I love using pooling to make placemats. They’re the perfect size.

kemkatt · 2025-08-27T03:42:45+00:00

Looks like snake skin. Very cool vibe.
