Welcome to Wooly Mama Crochet! Today I am sharing a fun tapestry pattern. I wanted something pink/hearts/love vibes but still somewhat subtle to hang in my house for Valentine’s Day coming up. I probably will end up leaving it up year round though because of just how cute it is!
Tapestry crochet is a lot easier than it looks. You just simply do single crochet’s throughout the whole piece, but the design comes together by changing your yarn colors! There are a few ways to read a tapestry pattern and everyone has their own preference. That’s why I am sharing with you 3 different ways to create this piece!

Measurements
This grid is 50×60 single crochet stitches. Using weight 4 worsted yarn measures 10 x 12 inches but size might vary depending on your yarn size and tension.
Gauge
Gauge is not crucial for this pattern.
Materials
- Yarn – weight 4 acrylic yarn in 5 colors (50 g light pink, 50 g dark pink, 25 g white, 15 g black, 15 g yellow)
- Hook – 4 mm or similar
- Tapestry needle – to weave in the ends
- Scissors – to cut your yarn
- Wooden Dowel – optional
Abbreviations
LP = Light Pink
DP = Dark Pink
WH = White
BL = Black
YE = Yellow
RS = Right Side
WS = Wrong Side
Important Pattern Notes
- This pattern uses US crochet terms & includes the graph, written instructions, and color block instructions
- This pattern is worked from the bottom up and is single crochet throughout.
- Odd rows are your “right side” and even rows are your “wrong side”. You will carry your yarn on the wrong side or you can cut the yarn & reattach when needed if preferred
- At the end of every row you will chain one, this does not count as a stitch
- To attach a dowel, single crochet around it at the top of your completed tapestry
How to Change Color
While you are finishing your last stitch of the first color, pick up the next color and pull through the last loops of your stitch. For example, for a single crochet you will insert hook, yarn over, pull through the stitch, yarn over with the new color and pull through all loops. Keep carried colors all on the same side. This is the “wrong side.” I also recommend working over the carried yarns.
Color Block Instructions
Each block has a color and a number, the color of the box is the color yarn you will use and the number inside is the amount of single crochet stitches you will complete.
Let’s get started!
Graph
Each square represents a stitch. Start with Light Pink and chain 50 + 1. Then begin with row 1 working back & forth from the bottom up.
