Tapesty Crocheting

I've been learning to tapestry crochet from the directions in my Happy Hooker book. I first started with the heart design from the book. It turned out pretty good I think!


Then I decided to make a hat and started simply with every other stitch. I counted many, many times and it still did not turn out to meet correctly on the back (not shown). Also, this hat wasn't meant to turn out so small, it would probably fit a new born, if lucky.


Getting closer with the next hat, still small in size but it can actually fit onto my head. I wasn't too excited about how this one turned out because of the red yarn that you can see all of the way around the hat where the hearts are. But all and all, I am very excited to have learned to tapestry crochet. I been improving and now have a few tapestry hats up on my Etsy.

Purple hat with orange "XOXO" tapestry crocheted into it. I used a double crochet for the first time with the tapestry which is usually done in single crochet. I prefer double crochet, even though the stitches are longer.

I will be coming up with more hat tapestry designs soon, it's too much fun not too :)
