📌 Before You Begin

💡

Tapestry is worked flat in turned rows from bottom to top.

💡

Color changes occur at the end of rows. Carry yarn loosely up the side or cut and weave in ends.

💡

Right side faces you on odd-numbered rows.

💡

Maintain consistent tension for even color blocks.

💡

Chain 1 at beginning of each row does not count as a stitch.

🧶 Pattern Instructions

💡 Tip: Foundation chain should be loose enough to match the width of your rows. Use a larger hook for foundation if needed.
  1. Foundation Chain
    With Color A, ch 64. This creates the 18-inch width at gauge.
Row counter:
💡 Tip: This creates a 4-inch solid base. Count your stitches frequently to maintain width.
  1. Row 1 (RS)
    Sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch across, turn. (63 sts)
  2. Rows 2-16
    Ch 1, sc in each st across, turn. (63 sts)
Row counter:
💡 Tip: Twist yarns at color changes to avoid gaps. This section creates three vertical panels.
  1. Row 17
    With Color B, ch 1, sc in first 21 sts, change to Color C, sc in next 21 sts, change to Color A, sc in last 21 sts, turn. (63 sts)
  2. Rows 18-28
    Ch 1, working in established color blocks, sc in each st across maintaining color changes at st 21 and st 42, turn. (63 sts)
Row counter:
  1. Rows 29-36
    With Color A only, ch 1, sc in each st across, turn. (63 sts)
Row counter:
💡 Tip: The diagonal creates visual movement. Mark your color change point with a stitch marker.
  1. Row 37
    With Color B, ch 1, sc in first 32 sts, change to Color A, sc in last 31 sts, turn. (63 sts)
  2. Row 38
    With Color A, ch 1, sc in first 30 sts, change to Color B, sc in last 33 sts, turn. (63 sts)
  3. Row 39
    With Color B, ch 1, sc in first 34 sts, change to Color A, sc in last 29 sts, turn. (63 sts)
  4. Row 40
    With Color A, ch 1, sc in first 28 sts, change to Color B, sc in last 35 sts, turn. (63 sts)
  5. Rows 41-48
    Continue diagonal pattern, shifting color change point by 2 sts every other row to create diagonal line, turn. (63 sts)
Row counter:
  1. Rows 49-56
    With Color C only, ch 1, sc in each st across, turn. (63 sts)
Row counter:
💡 Tip: This completes the 24-inch height. Your tapestry is now complete.
  1. Rows 57-72
    With Color A, ch 1, sc in each st across, turn. (63 sts)
  2. Row 73
    Ch 1, sc in each st across. Do not turn. Fasten off. (63 sts)
Row counter:
💡 Tip: Loops should be evenly distributed across the top edge to allow dowel insertion.
  1. Loop Placement
    With Color A, join yarn to top edge at right corner. Ch 10, sl st to same st to create loop. *Skip 10 sts, join to next st with sl st, ch 10, sl st to same st; repeat from * 4 more times across top edge to create 6 evenly spaced loops. Fasten off.
Row counter:

✂️ Finishing

Weave in all ends securely using tapestry needle, working them into same-color areas for invisibility. Block tapestry lightly by misting with water and pinning to measurements on blocking board or towel-covered surface. Allow to dry completely, about 24 hours. Thread wooden dowel through hanging loops at top. Cut two 18-inch lengths of yarn and tie each end to dowel ends to create hanging cord, adjusting length as desired for display height. Optional: Add fringe to bottom edge by cutting 8-inch strands and attaching with lark's head knots spaced every 3 stitches.

🧺 Care Instructions

Spot clean as needed with mild detergent and cool water. For full cleaning, hand wash in cool water with gentle wool wash, press out excess water without wringing, and lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or dry. Remove from dowel before washing. Steam block if reshaping is needed.

Questions About This Pattern

Absolutely — just match the weight (Worsted). You'll need about approximately 450 yards total, so make sure your substitute has enough meterage. Acrylic is budget-friendly and machine-washable; wool gives better stitch definition and drape.
This intermediate pattern assumes you're comfortable with basic stitches. You'll use ch, sc, hdc, dc and a few more (see the Abbreviations section above). If increases and decreases are new to you, a quick 10-minute tutorial on YouTube before you start will make the pattern much smoother.
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 "14 sc x 16 rows = 4 inches in single 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.
Spot clean as needed with mild detergent and cool water. For full cleaning, hand wash in cool water with gentle wool wash, press out excess water without wringing, and lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or dry. Remove from dowel before washing. Steam block if reshaping is needed. 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.
