Book Description
With tapestry crochet, one or more yarns are carried while another is single crocheted. With bead crochet, a bead is added to the front or back of the stitch. Depending on the tension and number of yarns used, the finished fabric can be stiff or supple, and may take any flat or three-dimensional form. Tapestry crochet has the flexibility and portability of crochet, but does not look crocheted. In fact, the surface looks so much like woven fabric, that most people think that tapestry crocheted pieces are made on a loom!In addition to right-handed and left-handed tutorials, this book includes easy to understand instructions (without abbreviations) for purses, bracelets, earrings, and a hat. Seven projects are beaded, six are felted (in a washing machine), and three incorporate both techniques. Crocheted tightly with a small crochet hook or loosely with a large hook, this book has it all!
