what is intarsia crochet
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Intarsia crochet is also called colorwork crochet. It is accomplished by carrying the unused color along (crocheting over it so it's inside the stitch). Some patterns want you to carry the unused yarn across the back, but that is not the usual manner. I recently crocheted a flag afghan for a friend and it is reversable by crocheting over the carried yarn.
