Blanket done in Tapestry Crochet

[lrstone]

I saw the TapestryCrochet.com site and decided I had to give it a try.  I also wanted to do something original, so I designed a star.  I am very happy with the results, (although I was working with whatever yarn I had on hand and the colors aren't the best combination).  I may do a little more to finish off the blanket- it's a gift for my pregnant neice (for her baby).  It measures about 27 inches square.

The whole thing is done in single crochet (size K hook) and I created this grid and arranged the little tile-like shapes to create the pattern.  I use a graphics program called Canvas, which allows me to create layers.  I put the grid in one layer and the little tiles in another.  When I'm done I print and stitch!

(If you save the image you will have the full size grid).

Thanks for looking...

It's great, and I think the colors look good too, they don't look like they're not supposed to go together--very cool!

I used a regular hook.  The trick is carrying the yarn and not pulling it too tight as you go.
