Pattern 948eb5

By Ham ·

This 36×80 chart finishes at roughly 9×19 inches in worsted-weight tapestry crochet, using 5 colors — a project for patient hands, with more color changes per row. As a tapestry piece it works as a wall hanging, cushion, or afghan square. The grid, materials estimate, and written row-by-row instructions below are all free; open the chart in the editor to resize it or swap the palette to yarns you already own.

Project kit

Gear this chart actually calls for

  • Clover Amour Crochet Hook Set

    Comfort-grip hooks in every size a chart can call for — one set covers the whole CYC weight range. — 6.5-9 mm (K-10½ to M-13) — one size down hides the carried strand

  • Yarn Bobbins

    Multi-color charts mean multiple live strands — bobbins keep each color wound short so they cannot tangle mid-row. — you will run up to 15 strands at once

    Buy on Amazon →

  • Tapestry Needles

    Blunt-tip needles for weaving in the ends every color change leaves behind.

    Buy on Amazon →

  • Locking Stitch Markers

    Mark pattern repeats, color-section starts, and the first stitch of the round so a miscount never survives a row.

    Buy on Amazon →

  • Yarn Ball Winder

    Center-pull cakes feed evenly and stand still while you work — worth it once a project runs to many skeins. — 10 skeins wind into tidy center-pull cakes

    Buy on Amazon →

  • Magnetic Chart Keeper

    A magnetic board holds the printed chart and a magnet strip marks your current row — no more losing your place in a big grid. — 80 rows is too many to track by eye

    Buy on Amazon →

  • Sharp Yarn Snips

    Small, sharp snips cut yarn clean at every color change — cleaner joins and easier weaving-in than scissors.

  • Up to 15 strands will be active in a single row — wind one bobbin per strand before you start to avoid tangles.
  • Worked intarsia-style this piece leaves about 128 ends to weave in. Carrying unused colors tapestry-style cuts that to about 10.

Before you start

  • Foundation: ch 37; sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across (36 sc).
  • Ch 1 at the start of every row (does not count as a stitch), turn.
  • Change color on the LAST stitch of the old color: work the final yarn over with the new color.
  • Tapestry style: carry the unused strand and crochet over it. Intarsia style: use a separate bobbin per color area and drop/pick up.
  • US terms. RS rows are read right to left on the chart, WS rows left to right.
