📌 Before You Begin

💡

This pattern uses tapestry crochet technique where unused yarn is carried inside stitches for clean color changes.

💡

Work is completed in rows with color changes creating geometric patterns. Chart reading skills are helpful.

💡

Keep consistent tension when carrying yarn to prevent puckering.

💡

All RS rows are read right to left, all WS rows are read left to right.

💡

When changing colors, drop old color and pick up new color through last 2 loops of previous stitch.

💡

Bobble stitches are worked on RS rows only for dimensional texture.

🧶 Pattern Instructions

💡 Tip: Use a stitch marker to mark RS of work. Foundation should measure approximately 24 inches wide.

  7. Row 22
    Ch 1, sc in each st across with MC, turn. (96 sc)
Row counter:
💡 Tip: Asymmetric design creates modern visual interest. Mark color change points with removable markers.

Row counter:
💡 Tip: Stepped pattern creates optical movement. Consistent shift creates diagonal visual flow.

    Ch 1, working in stepped pattern: *sc in 8 sts MC, sc in 8 sts CA, sc in 8 sts CB*, repeat from * to * across, turn. (96 sc)
  2. Rows 37-38
    Ch 1, shift color blocks 4 sts to right each row creating stepped effect. (96 sc each row)
  3. Row 39

    Work Sections 3, 2, and 1 in reverse order, mirroring geometric patterns to create symmetrical composition. Maintain all stitch counts and color changes as established. (96 sc/sts each row)
Row counter:
💡 Tip: Loops should be evenly spaced to distribute weight across dowel for proper hanging.
  1. Row 81
    Ch 1, sc in each st across with MC, turn. (96 sc)
  2. Rows 82-83
    Ch 1, sc in each st across, turn. (96 sc each row)
  3. Row 84 - Hanging Loops
    Ch 1, sc in first 6 sts, *ch 8, skip 2 sts, sc in next 10 sts*, repeat from * to * 6 more times, ch 8, skip 2 sts, sc in last 6 sts. Fasten off. (8 hanging loops created)
Row counter:

✂️ Finishing

Weave in all ends securely on WS of work, reinforcing color change points. Block piece to measurements by pinning to blocking board and misting with water, allowing to dry completely for 24 hours. This will even out stitches and define geometric patterns. Thread wooden dowel through all 8 hanging loops at top edge. If desired, add 10-inch lengths of coordinating yarn as fringe to bottom edge by folding in half and pulling through edge stitches with crochet hook, spacing every 3-4 stitches. Trim fringe evenly. Attach hanging cord or leather strap to dowel ends for wall display.

🧺 Care Instructions

Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay flat on towels to dry, reshaping to original dimensions. Do not machine wash or tumble dry as this may distort tapestry patterns. If using acrylic yarn, steam blocking can refresh appearance. Store rolled rather than folded to prevent permanent creases in geometric designs.

Questions About This Pattern

Absolutely — just match the weight (Worsted). You'll need about approximately 1400 yards (700 yards main color, 400 yards contrast A, 300 yards contrast B), so make sure your substitute has enough meterage. Acrylic is budget-friendly and machine-washable; wool gives better stitch definition and drape.
This pattern uses techniques that require precision and experience. Expect stitches like sc, ch, sl st, dc and potentially complex shaping. If you're newer to crochet, try a few intermediate patterns first to build confidence with stitch counts and tension before tackling this one.
Usually it's the joining or finishing — where individual sections meet and need to align. Read through the entire pattern once before you start so there are no surprises. Use stitch markers generously to track your place, especially in rounds. If a section looks wrong, count your stitches before proceeding — catching an error early saves a lot of frogging later.
For this pattern, gauge is "16 sc x 18 rows = 4 inches in tapestry crochet". For decorative or non-fitted items it's less critical, but matching gauge ensures you use the right amount of yarn and get the proportions the pattern intends. If your swatch is too small (too many stitches/inch), go up a hook size. Too large — go down.
Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay flat on towels to dry, reshaping to original dimensions. Do not machine wash or tumble dry as this may distort tapestry patterns. If using acrylic yarn, steam blocking can refresh appearance. Store rolled rather than folded to prevent permanent creases in geometric designs. A general rule: when unsure about the yarn, hand wash in cool water with a drop of gentle detergent, squeeze (don't wring), and block flat to dry. This is safe for almost every fiber.
Each section builds on the last, so yes — follow them in order. That said, some finishing sections (like embellishments or optional edging) can be skipped if you prefer a simpler look. Read through all sections before starting so you understand how the pieces fit together and can plan your yarn usage across sections.
