Do you hear the Music? Happy National Crochet Month! I am part of the annual Crochetville Blog tour<\/a> to celebrate the event. This year the theme is Crochet Concert and features how music can be an inspiration, as my inspiration I have created a Music Tapestry Block to Celebrate crochet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I Celebrate Crochet with Music<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As my contribution to this tour I have created a Music Block. Use this block for various things including as a contribution to Warm Up America.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can donate to\u00a0Warm Up America<\/a>\u00a0as a nationwide organization. Donating locally is encouraged, however donations can be sent to their office to be assembled. Assembled blankets will be donated through the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tapestry Crochet to Create Music<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Music Block gives you an opportunity to learn Tapestry Crochet. Tapestry Crochet is a technique of color work that has you crocheting over the unused color. This reduces finish work and creates a solid, somewhat dense, fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Tapestry Crochet is worked entirely in single crochet with color changes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Worked entirely in Singe Crochet (Double Crochet if you are using UK terms). Worked with a chart, where each block is 1 stitch. Just remember to work back and forth in the chart, meaning read right to left for odd number rows and left to right for even number rows. (Needs tips for changing color…check here).<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Crochet over the unused color, and carry it across. This reduces finish work while creating a charted design. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy this technique, and take some time to celebrate crochet this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
