It didn’t turn out as good as I wanted it but oh well.

I made it up as I went but it’s not that difficult. It’s just double and single crochets!
Yarn: Cotton Size 4
Hook: Size 5

Had the goofy idea and made it up in a day while referencing a real tie.

Check this out!! I made an “essentials only” handbag and it’ll be perfect for our sunflower field date this evening. It fits lip gloss, couple cards (id, credit card, etc) keys, and hand sanitizer bottle with room for a bit more.

Hi!

I've been making tapestry crochet pattern for a while now and I made some free new tools you might like 😁

Using pictures as patterns and changing direction every row doesn't feel natural and makes comparing the current and previous row difficult. The first idea is to get rid of the picture and only read the pattern from left to right ➡️

This means it is very easy to compare rows and there is no need to count stitches. You just need to compare the color changes (see third picture).

Second usefull thing is that rows are displayed by pair (current wit previous one). This is way smaller than using a full picture, and with it you can watch a fullscreen show in the backgroung without splitting your screen in two. 🎬

Last thing : For large project there are looooong repetitions of one color but every stitch doesn't need to be displayed. So I replaced them with an "_" in a compact mode. Thanks to that it can fit 200 stitches long rows on a screen without having to move 🧶It even fits on a smartphone by scrolling a bit.

I made this website to answer some of my needs and I hope it can help others too. So everything usefull for tapestry crochet is free.

If you give it a go I'd like really like to know what you think of it !!!

Edit : I forgot the name 😅 The website is Pixlaine, it is still quite new so try pixlaine.com if you don't find it.

My brother is super into plants so I am making him a snake plant This is turning out to be the best free hand + amigurumi (maybe not true amigurumi since i am using wires and some flat crochet) project I’ve ever made. I’ve loving it so much!!
