Tapestry Square Crochet Free Pattern

Written byadmin in

If you’re looking for a fun way to experiment with color changes in crochet, tapestry crochet is a fantastic technique to try. This method allows you to carry unused colors under your stitches, making it perfect for intricate designs without constant cutting and weaving in of yarn ends.

Whether you’re new to tapestry crochet or already familiar with it, this pattern will guide you through creating a beautiful, multi-colored square that’s ideal for blankets, pillows, or any decorative crochet project.

In this tutorial, we’ll walk through making a 9 ½-inch tapestry square. I used scrap DK weight yarn with a 4mm hook, so feel free to use whatever colors and yarns you have on hand. For this design, the white background (Color A) helps the vibrant flower and leaf motif (Colors B, C, and D) stand out beautifully. Let’s dive into the details and create a stunning tapestry square!
