Using a technique discussed in the book
Tapestry
Crochet,
I made this book cover for a
friend. I used a pearl cotton 3/2 and cotton rug
warp. The design is an amalgam of several different purses
I've seen here and there. Tapestry crochet is also called "Hard
Crochet" because it produces a stiff woven-like
fabric. You can get a much better explanation
from the Tapestry book. <G>
With
tapestry crochet you work with two strands of thread,
carrying forward the color that you're not using. Instead of
finishing off between color changes, begin using the new
color & crochet over the old one.
