Tapestry crochet - Carol Ann Ventura

Tapestry crochet, also known as "Jacquard" or "Mosaic" crochet, is a m ulti-colour crochet technique.
It can be used to make unique and sturdy clothing accessories, baskets and tapestries.

It differs from ordinary crochet in its texture, tension and method of working colour patterns without floats on the back.
One yarn is carried while another is worked over it.

The basics of the technique are clearly explained and diagrammed. Ten projects are provided for practice, beginning with a two-colour eyeglass case, and progressing to shoulder bags, baskets and flat tapestries. A colour photo gallery of tapestry crochet works is included for inspiration.
