Tapestry Crochet in the Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East: Tradition and Innovation Carol Ventura [email protected] What is crochet? The Primary Structure of Fabrics describes it as, “vertical and lateral interlooping . a double interlooped structure (made with a hooked implement).”1 Clothing and accessories have been constructed by looping fibers together for thousands of years. Looping is a broad term, though; we’ll look at a few of the variations. The latest scholarship suggests that crochet developed around two hundred years ago from looping.2 No one is really sure where or when that first occurred, though.

My mother had recently passed away, and I was spending a lot of time with my grandma, who was an amazing crafter. Her ability to make something out of seemingly nothing captivated me. She taught me to crochet as a means to keep me busy, and despite the fact she started me on a tiny steel hook with frustratingly slippery silk thread, I stuck with it.

  • The Hiking Moose: a Cowl © Thetwistedyarn.Com
    The Hiking Moose: A Cowl © thetwistedyarn.com Don’t you just love a dramatic sunset? Well now you can wear one, in the form of this cowl, crocheted in-the-round (except for the ribbing top and bottom, which is worked back-and-forth). If you’re familiar with tapestry crochet, then you’ll find this a doddle to make, and if not, then you’ll soon get the hang of it. Written instructions are provided for the ribbing, and there is a chart for the body of the cowl. Size and dimensions: One size, would fit adult or teen. When laid flat, the cowl measures approximately 33cm wide by 37cm tall. Gauge: 29 stitches, 31 rows of tapestry single crochet (US), i.e. double crochet (UK) = 10cm / 4 inches square. But really, let’s not fuss too much over gauge. You will need:- • Stylecraft ‘Head Over Heels’ sock yarn: one 100g ball in shade ‘Etna’. • Stylecraft ‘Life’ 4-ply: one ball in shade ‘Black’. This isn’t a perfect accompaniment, being thicker, fluffier, and a different type of yarn from ‘Head Over Heels’. So if you’ve got a ball of some lovely fine black sock yarn lying around, do use that instead. • Your very best 3mm crochet hook. • A stitch marker to mark the beginning/end of the round. What is tapestry crochet? Trust me, it’s not difficult. It’s a way of using two (or more!) colours within a row or round, trapping the inactive yarn within the stitches of the active colour, and swapping your yarn colours as dictated by a pattern chart.
