hi I'm Kristin Omdahl and welcome to my studio
in this series of videos I'm going to show you how to make the shangri-la
tapestry crochet bag tapestry crochet is an incredible technique for creating
gorgeous color work with simple stitches and the added bonus is the fabric is
reversible if you can double crochet you can make this bag to make this beautiful
bag you're going to need two balls each of two different colors of Be So Baby
yarn which is DK weight 100 percent milk fiber I'm going to use two balls of
color peach and two balls of colored turquoise for the sample and the
original bag was done in two balls of navy blue and orchid pink you're also
going to need a size E 4 or 3.5 mm crochet hook follow the link
provided to order Be So Baby Yarn and download your pattern in the first video
I showed you how to crochet the circular base of the bag which means we learned
how to do the increases while at the same time doing our color changes in
part 2 video we're going to work even in the round which is where we'll do the
sidewalls of the bag and in this section we're going to work even in the round in
double crochet and doing this simple stitch repeat for the color change which
uses its a six stitch repeat using the two different colors and so we're going
to go by this chart and I wanted to point out that the chart shows you how
to work in the round because we're going to have to do a chain three at the
beginning of the round to count as a double crochet then work all the way
around repeating what's in the yellow shaded area then at the end of the round
slip stitch to join now there will be tips and tricks along the way because we
are changing color and notice that I have shown you on here when it is color
a and when it is color B so let's get started this is what we did in the first
video and even though I didn't do the entire base of the bag I
and on a repeat of a multiple of six so in the full-size bag the repeat is 12
stitches per repeat which is a multiple of six and so in the smaller version
every repeat has only six stitches which obviously is a multiple of six and if
you remember from the first video we are doing the pink symbols in the chart is
what we're doing with peach and the blue symbols is what we're doing with
turquoise so we're going to start in this this round here which you'll notice
in your chart is a lot lighter than the other rounds that's to show that it is
the last round of the base and not the act first round of the walls so we're
just using that to show you where you're placing your stitches from the previous
round so round one begins with a chain three which counts as a double crochet
and what you want to check just like we did in the video part one is to make
sure the next stitch is in the same color because we want to know if we have
to change color before the last step so we don't need to here so we're going to
chain three all in the turquoise which is our color B
and then our next stitch is also a double crochet in the turquoise which is
color B you want to make sure you're working around the working the up the
yarn that you're not using so when we're working with color B we're crocheting
around color A to hide it as we go so that we have that beautiful reversible
fabric that doesn't show our floats on the wrong side what a double check that
we don't have to change color here and it's true we have a chain three and two
double crochets all in the same color so we don't have to change color mid stitch
here but on that third one you'll see we do have to change color for the next
stitch so we're going to work all the way themselves start that over so we're
going to work our double crochet yarn over insert your hook yarn over pull up
a loop yarn over pull through two now the rest of the double crochet would be
to yarn over pull through two a second time
however we are needing to change color because our next stitch is done in peach
so we're going to finish the stitch that last step of the stitch in the next
color so that we're positioned to work our next stitch in the next color but
then we'll go back to the chart here and see that we only have one stitch
standing alone in the peach so we're going to work the stitch only to the
last step and then change color again
and then we'll continue on in the turquoise for three more stitches
and there's our six stitch repeat we have our chain three done and we have
our six stitch repeat done one time so now you want to repeat that six stitch
repeat all the way around and on the last repeat of it I'll show you what we
do slightly differently so we're going to do two stitches in color B
one stitch in color A
and three stitches in color B
so it was two stitches in color B 1 in color A and three in color B we're going
to repeat this all the way around
okay we've finished our last full repeat on round one and so what you'll notice
now is that if you're repeating this across then you have one two more
stitches here then you come around to the other side of the round and three
more stitches here before the slip stitch because that chain three that
wasn't in the shaded area is actually the other component of that last six
stitch repeat so we're going to do two stitches in turquoise here and you'll
notice if we come to the other side of the round the next stitch is in peach so
you want to change color on the last step of that last turquoise stitch we're
only doing one stitch in peach so we'll change color again and the last two
stitches in the round are turquoise and then we'll slip stitch to the top of the
chain three at the beginning of the round to join and that's what the end of
round one should look like and because we're not doing any more increase as you
can see it's already starting to curl up a little bit so the remainder of the
walls will continue working straight up and you'll definitely start seeing the
shape of your bag round two begins with a chain three that counts as a double
crochet this will be in turquoise and then the first stitch of the repeat will
also be in turquoise then the repeat is one turquoise three peach two turquoise
so let's get started on that with a chain three then one turquoise but we're
changing color now so we'll switch before just before the last step of that
stitch work three stitches in peach
save the last step of the last stitch for the next color to get positioned for
the next color in the next two stitches in this repeat are in turquoise okay so
our repeat for this round we've got our chain three which isn't part of the
repeat the shaded part is our repeat I repeat is one turquoise three peach two
turquoise and you want to repeat that all the way around
best way to keep your tails or your working yarns from not tangling is to
make a decision about which yarn should be in which position notice that I'm
pulling let's see when we get to the next color change I'll show you so I'm
keeping whatever yarn I'm not working with on top of the work so that we work
over it and it's hidden but I'm also picking up my yarns from different
positions I'm picking up the peach from the back I'll do my stitches now in the
peach now I'm ready to change color again I'm picking up my turquoise from
the front and if you alternate which place you pick up each yarn they won't
tangle now should they tangle as long as you're paying attention it won't be that
big of a deal because you can overcompensate for them to untangle them
but if it gets too tangled you could always put your work down and pick up
the two balls of yarn and untangle them that way but the best practice that I
have found is to get in the habit of picking up each color from a different
position and that way they never get tangled and it's just a lot more fun to
work without tangles if you need a refresher on the stitches we're using
today please feel welcome to follow the link to the crochet stitch library where
I go over in great detail how to do the double crochet and if you want more tips
and tricks on doing tapestry crochet I do have top 10 tips for for tapestry
crochet on my website and that link is in the video description as well ok so
we finished our last repeat of round 2 which means now we have 5 additional
stitches left to do the first one is turquoise the next three are peach and
the last one is turquoise
or a slip stitch to the top of the chain 3 at the beginning of the round to join
that is the sixth stitch of that last repeat so now we're ready to work round
3 round 3 starts with a chain 3 in turquoise our color B but then we change
color right away to the peach for the next stitch and the next 5 stitches
actually so we need to do the last step of that chain 3 in a color change so
we're going to start with a chain 2 in turquoise then change color for that
third chain and you just need to pull the turquoise yarn taut so that it stays
nice and firm and then we'll do our next 5 stitches in turquoise our end peach
on the last stitch we change color on the last step to do our next stitch in
turquoise but I believe this is okay so this stitch we this six stitch repeat
for round three is five stitches in peach one stitch in turquoise you're
going to change color on the one and only so we'll switch back to peach
that's five stitches in peach one stitch in turquoise and you want to repeat that
all the way around to the last five stitches continue on through rounds five
and six then repeat rounds one through six for the chevron pattern we repeat it
for a total of four times for the full size bag in the next video I'll be
