Tapestry Crochet Cactus Pattern

Since I've seen some adorable amigurumi cactus, that just melted my heart, I'm in a gigantic cactus crush! I finally got to design a cactus related pattern and I must say it wasn't easy to make those little cactus shapes. But now that I managed to figure it out I already have some more ideas to try out soon! 

Is there anyone else with a cactus crush?? If so, then I think this pattern is perfect for you!

Blue Ombré Pattern

I've wanted for a while to do some ombré pattern. I love the gradient effect and I think that the tapestry technique is ideal for it. I had a lot of different shades of blue, cause let's face it, it's my favourite color, so I decided it was just perfect for the design.

I didn't wanted to do a basic stripe gradient even if I love them, specially in blankets. As usual, I needed to spice it up and create somethig a bit more intricate (as if tapestry crochet isn't challenging enough) and came up with spikes that makes me think of mountains in the horizon.

Always loyal to Katia's Mississippi 3 yarn with 3 shades of blue plus off white and a simple white zipper for the closure with no lining.

This pouch is approximately H - 15 cm/5,9 inches; W - 21 cm/8,2 inches.

You can use it as you want. As a clutch, as a cosmetic bag that you can use at home or to carry with you in your daily purse. 

If you love to craft and crochet, this pouch can carry a lot of hooks, needles and other crafting materials!

I think that this one would look so beautiful with any color but I really want to make another one (sometime in the future) with a black/gray/white gradient!

If you'd like to give this pattern a try, it's available at my Etsy Shop. 

The PDF has a total of 10 pages, including the cover, where you'll find a beginner friendly english tutorial with instructions and pictures that will walk you through the making of the pouch. Nonetheless, you NEED to know the basics of crocheting.

If you are a more experienced crocheter you'll be able to go directly to the written pattern and tapestry chart.

You can also follow me on Facebook, Instagram (@thestoryofamulberry) and Pinterest to see beautiful crochet goodies, sneak peeks of my work in progress, giveaways and hopefully be inspired.

See you soon,

Tapestry Granny Square - Crochet Pouch Pattern

Granny Squares are one of the favorite designs of crocheters. They are usually used to do blankets or cushion covers but you can do anything you like. There are lots and lots of different patterns for granny squares online along with amazing crocheted projects made with them.

I was so inspired by all those creative projects I've seen that I challenged myself to design a Tapestry Granny Square pattern.

Tapestry Crochet Pattern - "Scrambled Chevron Pouch"

I love chevron patterns especially in blankets which is where I got the inspiration for this design. I thought that it would be a great idea to try some tapestry chevron but I wanted to spice it up a bit so I mixed the colors instead of placing them in an oderly manner.

I'm excited to finally share with you how the "Scrambled Chevron Crochet Pouch" turned out and I have to say that it really meets my expectations. I already was loving it while I was crocheting and now that it's finished I just want to use it!

Scrambled Chevron Crochet Pattern

It's been a while since my last post, but I'm back with new colorful intricate designs! Even if I had so much fun creating the cosmetic pouches that allowed me to do and learn some new things, I confess that I was missing crocheting with more than 3 colors and designing geometric patterns!

The Mascara Crochet Cosmetic Pouch

I finally managed to write down the pattern of the "Mascara" tapestry crochet cosmetic pouch. It's the last tapestry design of my "writings" collection! Well, the last one for now! I'm surely gonna make some more in a near future and grow the collection! I really fell in love with crocheting letters and words and I love the designs I created! It was a crochet project adventure with a happy ending! I can't wait to do more different projects with all kinds of writings and why not crocheting sentences and not just words?!

"Beauty Stuff" Crochet Cosmetic Pouch

It's been a while since a posted here from the last time. I've been really busy creating new tapestry crochet patterns and designs that I totally forgot to share with you this beautiful cosmetic pouch. It's part of my "writings" cosmetic collection. 

Actually, the cosmetic pouch is already finished but I will share with you the result as soon as I can get the written pattern complete and available at the etsy shop. Untill then, I leave you with this sneak peek hoping to get you excited and eager to see more.

In the meantime, I can tell you that I love this white, dark fuschia and black combo using Katia Mississippi 3 yarn.

Woven Artsy Wall Crochet Clutch

It seems that colorful tapestry crochet clutches are here to stay. This is my third one after the Rainbow Mountain Pikes [see here] and the Diamond Forest [see here] and I'm already thinking about the next one! All the designs and color possibilities make tapestry crochet very interesting, challenging and appealing, at least to me. You're sure to never be bored with it, maybe frustrated sometimes but never bored!
