It could be bc you’re not rolling the non-dominant color towards the wrong side. So if it is showing on the right side, that may mean that when you’re crocheting on the wrong side, you may not be rolling the color you’re carrying towards you. Does that make sense? You want it to be hidden on the wrong side. It also may mean you need to go down a hook or two in size. ❤️
this video is 18/10-so helpful. i just did my first square with tapestry crochet, i used dark blue and white and nothing peeks through!! this makes me so excited for future projects, thank you so much for this tutorial
I have never done tapestry crochet before even though I have crocheted and knit for 50(!) years. So I almost cried when my very bright orange yarn was SO visible being carried with the white yarn. But then I found YOUR post - and I am smiling again!
This method is genuinely such a lifesaver - I'm crocheting a gift for a friend and this made it 10x easier to make it look just that bit more professional
So frustrated because I just finished multiple tapestry projects with all my yarn peaking and now I find this video. Thank you for the tips! I will use them moving forward!!!
this is amazing!! i struggled so much with my first tapestry project because my colour always showed. I'm planning on making a tapestry bag with my friend and i was honestly dreading it because of how much trouble i had, but this is a game changer! i can't wait to try it out, thank you so much for sharing :)
Is this like floating and carrying on the yarn at the same time? Do we have to skip only 1 stitch for floating? Or can we skip more than 1 stitch like 3-4 for big projects? I'm a beginner, please help.
I'd recommend only floating 1 stitch at a time, but you can do more than one. If you do float more than one stitch at a time, make sure the yarn isn't too tight or it will cinch your fabric.
Hi, I'm floating my yarn as per your tutorial but it is causing uneven tension throughout the piece as the start and ends have no unworked yarn carrying over. How do I fix this or am I doing something wrong?
OMG yesss!!! Ive been doing crochet wall hangings, and have been getting so frustrated seeing the colors peek through!! I cant wait to try this, thanks so much!
That looks great ! I started working on a piece with cut and tie method, i think i would try this and tell if it works (moon and sun shapes) Thank you 🪻
Hi, may I ask you how can I know which stitch should I "sandwich" the unused yarn, and which stitch should I "float" the unused yarn? Is it always the first stitch in new color that i should "sandwich" the unused yarn?
I prefer to have the last stitch before the new color change to be a "sandwich" rather than a float, so i always count back from that. BUT it really doesn't matter. 😀
Honestly if it was me personally I would just frog and redo. I do this every time I find a better technique for something I’m doing, and as tedious and painstaking as it is, I end up liking the end result better
Me looking at the almost completed graph sweater I was working on…😮😩 Do I start again?!? 😂 For real though, thank you for the trick! Will definitely use in the future!!!
I was thinking about doing some tapestry crochet but not really sure now. It appears that it is a big deal when there are huge contrasts in color. The type of yarn used and how tight the stitches would seemingly play a role as well. Even though this is an interesting fix for one-sided items like purses, it does seem like a pain in the rear.
If you have more than two colors, you can float more, but that isn’t my favorite. It can really mess with gauge bc the stitches carrying/hiding the yarn becomes too big.
I was doing my first big project (a tote bag). It was on black and white, and it turned out a complete disaster. I'll try this method 100%. Thank you!!!
It can be tricky to do with more than two colors. I usually try to only keep it to two. But it can be done with more. You just have to be careful that the floats are loose enough that it isn’t leaking through the small hole that a single crochet makes.
It's definitely helped, but my yarn is still showing through! I'm using DK yarn with a 5mm hook so don't know if that's bad but I need it for the size of my crochet. Have been trying to keep everything taut.
A 5 mm is a bit loose for tapestry crochet. Typically tapestry crochet uses a smaller hook, but that does make it hard when you need the drape of a bigger hook.
Yes! Make a square with the design you want using Stitch Fiddle. It is a free program that makes designing patterns much more simple. I'm hoping to have a Video Tutorial using Stitch Fiddle up within the next month. ❤
Good question! I explain that at 2:40 . Basically, floating the yarn every other stitch helps curve it around the small hole that is made when you make a single crochet.
I want to start doing tapestry/intarsia crochet but one thing that worries me are the yarns tangling with one another, especially if i use more than two colors - say 3-4 colors. Has it happened to you when you’ve used more than 2 colors? Or is there a way to prevent the yarns from tangling with one another?
I've seen a lot of people who have found clever ways or contraptions to easily untangle them. My preferred method? instagram.com/reel/CVVWFCSDbEf/ haha
I basically floated the yarn that was not in use for my knitting when I knitted sweaters [and sort of tried to do the same thing with crochet]. But I do prefer to crochet HDC for stitches that have more than one color [or straightforward back-and-forth crochet]. I just am not particularly impressed with how sc crochet stitches turn out when they are not in the round. Thank you for your interesting and informative video. I am looking into pixel crochet and Mozaic crochet.
@@CozyNooksDesigns Thank you very much! And thank you for sharing your epiphany with us. It helped me remember how I used it with knitting. Knitting is certanly easier to weave the yarn/s that are not in use and I have been wanting to find a way to do the same thing using crochet. Plastic canvas is also an interesting craft and cross stitch charts can be used for charts to do more than that particular craft. The charts can be used for crochet patterns as well- especially as in [pixel crochet] projects. Thank you for sharing.
Perhaps slipstitch? But that might be too bulky. I know that sc probably would work out better, I just like what sc in the round looks like better than back and forth.
@@CozyNooksDesignsYou say there are some differences between your secret method and Fair Isle crochet. If I may, what are those differences? Thank you 🙏🥰
@@rosy111 fair isle crochet uses larger floats on the wrong side. You float the yarn 3 or 4 stitches at a time, whereas this way does it every stitch so it bends around the small gap in each stitch.

The color still pokes through when I’m working on the right side. What could I be doing wrong?

Thank you so much! I've always shyed away from tapestry crochet because of the show through. Total game changer!!! You Rock!!!
I'm so glad you find it helpful! :)

Yay! I am so glad that this helps you! it can be awkward to work the back like that at first, but now I've gotten pretty used to it and can go fast.
I have never done tapestry crochet before even though I have crocheted and knit for 50(!) years. So I almost cried when my very bright orange yarn was SO visible being carried with the white yarn. But then I found YOUR post - and I am smiling again!
You literally just saved my sweater!! Thank you for this!
Yay! So glad it helped you.

Same 😭
Isn’t that how it always works? 😂 glad you can use it from here on though. 🩷
i discovered this video just in time! i’m planning on making a vest with a floral design and can’t wait to use this technique
That vest sounds beautiful! Glad you found this helpful!
I'm thinking about getting into tapestry crochet and your tips on this video and others have been very eye-opening. Thank you so much!!
So glad you like it! 🩵
Thank you so dang much. You've changed my life with both this no show thru method, and the tidbit about yarning UNDER instead of over.
I'm so happy this has helped you so much! ❤

Thanks that was only thing I did not like about tapestry stitches showing through! God bless you dear♥️🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️💗♥️🙏
my first time learning tapestry following your video and it's work ! thank you 💜
So happy to hear this! Yay!
Thanks for this tutorial. Really helping me. Colour changes look better already.
This is nice but I still carry to the end as the weight will be off on the edge.
Mind blown 🤯 I always hated how I could see the yarn colour peeking through. Thank u so much for this tutorial x
It would bug me so much too!
This is an absolutely GAME CHANGER!! Thank you!!!!
Yay! So glad you found it helpful! :)
I hardly ever make comments, but this hack! OMG it changed my life! woman you are a genius.
Thank you!!!
Yay! So happy to hear this. Crazy what sitting on the couch, avoiding making dinner, and experimenting can come up with!

This is fair isle crochet.
Hi, I'm floating my yarn as per your tutorial but it is causing uneven tension throughout the piece as the start and ends have no unworked yarn carrying over. How do I fix this or am I doing something wrong?
If it is really bothersome, you can try switching to a bigger hook at the edges. ❤️
OMG yesss!!! Ive been doing crochet wall hangings, and have been getting so frustrated seeing the colors peek through!! I cant wait to try this, thanks so much!
Yes! That's exactly what happened to me. I was getting so frustrated, so I just started experimenting. Glad it helped out!
very good... one questions, this way to crochet is not more difficult? i guess we can forget somemoments to do this... thank you for vídeo
It isn't that much more difficult once you get used to it!
Thank youuu... this answer my question.
That looks great !
I started working on a piece with cut and tie method, i think i would try this and tell if it works (moon and sun shapes)
Thank you 🪻
You're welcome! Let me know if you have any questions.
Hi, may I ask you how can I know which stitch should I "sandwich" the unused yarn, and which stitch should I "float" the unused yarn?
Is it always the first stitch in new color that i should "sandwich" the unused yarn?
I prefer to have the last stitch before the new color change to be a "sandwich" rather than a float, so i always count back from that. BUT it really doesn't matter. 😀
Genius!! Finally I can do a tapestry crochet project and not get upset because the color shows through…
Perfect! Yes, I used to get so frustrated also!
Can someone tell me, what to do with a project that i have completed halfway with the traditional way and the colours are peeking out!!!
Honestly if it was me personally I would just frog and redo. I do this every time I find a better technique for something I’m doing, and as tedious and painstaking as it is, I end up liking the end result better
will this same technique work if you're using more than 2 colors on the same row?
Yes. 😀 I regularly use more than two colors on the same row. It does get trickier, but it does work.
I wish I found your video before I finish my tapestry 😂
😂 why does it always happen that way?
This is so neat! Would this method work when working with more than two colors?
I've done it with more than 2 colors in the past, and it worked great still.
Awesome! Can’t wait to try this. Thank you (:
i’m actually so in awe at how well this works and how easy it is
It has become second nature for me to crochet the wrong side like this now. It really is so easy!
This is fair isle, not tapestry technique.
Oh mama you are a genius!!!!! Thank you sooo much for sharing !
Glad you found it helpful!
Hello, I'm from Brazil and I'm going to share this video with my friends because it's really cool, I loved it
With fair isle knitting the float can be 4 stitches, so I suspect you can do the same with tapestry crochet.
Me looking at the almost completed graph sweater I was working on…😮😩 Do I start again?!? 😂
For real though, thank you for the trick! Will definitely use in the future!!!
Oh no! I bet the sweater is beautiful though! glad it can help you for the future. :)

You can always do intarsia crochet if you have something that isn’t one sided! ❤️
if you have more than two colors do u still float only one?
If you have more than two colors, you can float more, but that isn’t my favorite. It can really mess with gauge bc the stitches carrying/hiding the yarn becomes too big.

Yes! Make a square with the design you want using Stitch Fiddle. It is a free program that makes designing patterns much more simple. I'm hoping to have a Video Tutorial using Stitch Fiddle up within the next month. ❤
Ahh this is fantastic thanks for sharing. Why does it not show through the stitches were you did crochet over it please?
Good question! I explain that at 2:40 . Basically, floating the yarn every other stitch helps curve it around the small hole that is made when you make a single crochet.
I think I like how the 'wrong side ' looks too.
So helpful! Thank you for sharing :)
The only video that helped thank you!!

Than you so much for this! You are an absolute lifesaver! I was working on a plushie but kept on seeing the yarn through it, this solved the problem.
So happy to hear this helped you! I bet your plushie is adorable.
thank you so much for sharing this amazing logical method شكرا جزيلا
Thanks for watching!
❤❤❤ Thank you dear 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much. I really appreciate, the tip.❤
Glad you found it helpful! 💛
That is genius! I am new to your page and you are amazing!❤
I appreciate that so much. Thank you! ❤️
I was searching for a video to help me with this for a while now🥺🥺. You are a life saver
so glad it helped you! ❤
Brilliant! Thank you! I used this technique for a sweater. I wasn't sure if it would work as well with double crochet but it worked like a charm.
I'm glad it worked with dc. I've never experimented with anything but sc!
Genius! I can't wait to try this method!
It's been so helpful for me!
thank you!! this really helped me with my snowflake headband. 😁😁
Happy it helped you! ❤
Wow... so nice! Thank you to share!
the floating yarn itself looks like a design...hehe looks good... thank you for the nice tip:)
Yes! I've always thought it looked cool on the backside of the work! :)
Thank u 😍😍
Nice tip thank you ♥️
Glad you found it helpful!
OMG THANK U SOO MUCH
Can you do this with more than 2 colors?
Yes, but I try to avoid it when I can. I will have individual bobbins usually instead of trying to do this with more than two colors.
This video is a real lifesaver!!! You're wonderful 👍
