Ten projects are included to start you on your way to making pillows, bags, baskets, and tapestries. This book also presents information that will help you design your own pieces. I hope that you will discover the potential of tapestry crochet and share it with your friends and family. I hope that you will teach tapestry crochet classes, design your own tapestry crochet pieces, and publish the instructions. I have only begun to explore tapestry crochet.
Tapestry crochet forms a sturdy texture in two or three colors.
It is worked at a tight tension that hides strands of unused colors which are carried within the row of stitches. The materials are simple - crochet cotton or heavy rug wool and a sturdy crochet hook. Norton starts with the basics of crocheting with either the right or left hand. Her explanations are very clear and they are accompanied by explicit drawings. The graph comes in different proportions, corresponding to the number of colors used, because carrying more colors makes taller rows.
