Tapestry Crochet Angler Fish

So here it is, the last part of my Sea Creatures bunting. But never fear, I’ve saved my favourite until last

This lovely red Angler Fish. I’m so pleased with how he turned out, I just love the yellow ‘light’ ready to lure unsuspecting fish into his mouth.

Here is the pattern for this flag

To join the flags together I just started with a chain, and when it was long enough for one end I worked a row of dc into the top of the first flag, I repeated this until all flags were attached.

For the next row I just worked a row of dc along the whole row just to make the top a little thicker.

To end with, here are a few photos of the finished bunting

Tapestry Crochet Angel Fish

Yet again another Saturday has rolled around. How has your week been? I hope it’s only been filled with nice things, including plenty of crochet.

This week I’ve been doing some more work on my current bug bunting project, there are some photos over on my Instagram page if you want to have a peek. I’m totally addicted to tapestry crochet at the moment, so much so that I’m not really doing many other types of crochet. Although I did sneak a little tiny bit of amigurumi making in with these tiny sea creatures.

But that didn’t last too long before I was back to tapestry crochet!

Anyway this weeks tapestry crochet chart is for this blue Angel fish.

I’m so pleased with how he came out. I wanted to make the blues of his body stand out from the background and I think it’s worked.

Just in case you’ve forgotten what the bunting looks like all together, here’s a photo of the finished project.

Have you made any of the squares yet? I’d love to see photos of them if you have.

Here’s the link to this weeks graph.

I hope you enjoy the squares as much as I do.

Happy Hooking

Tapestry Crochet Puffer Fish

It’s time for the next square in my sea creatures bunting, this time it’s this green puffer fish.

I’ve made him using Stylecraft Special DK as I like the colours it comes in, and think it’s good value for money, but you can choose whichever yarn you have to hand, it’s not so important for this pattern. The only thing changing yarn will alter is the finished size of the flag, and as long as they’re all the same it doesn’t matter too much.

If you’d like a tutorial for tapestry crochet, I’ve written one on the starfish flag, so just hop over to my free patterns page on here and you’ll be able to find it.

Tapestry Crochet Seahorse

Yay! Part 2 of my tapestry crochet bunting is ready for you today.

If you’re new to my blog just a quick recap, I’m going to be posting a tapestry crochet graph each week until there are 9 squares. At the end you can make this colourful bunting:

This week’s graph is for this cute seahorse.

I’ve used Stylecraft Special DK to make him but you can use any yarn and colours you fancy.

Each block is approximately 5 inches x 6 inches with a 3mm hook or 4.5 inches x 7 inches if you use a 4mm hook. But the size will change depending on your yarn and tension. Just make sure you use the same size hook for all of the panels otherwise you’ll end up with different sized flags.

As the pattern is a graph you can use it for knitting, crochet, c2c crochet, cross stitch, beadwork, patchwork, and anything else you can possibly think of 😃

And finally if you are new to tapestry crochet pop over to my patterns page and you can find a tapestry crochet tutorial and the chart for a starfish square.

Here is the chart for you to download

I hope you enjoy making the bunting, and don’t forget to tag me on Instagram @ditzy.and.dotty or leave a comment on here so I can see what you make.

Happy Hooking

Tapestry crochet Ray

Do you remember this little guy?

He’s the little starfish from my tapestry crochet tutorial.

Well he’s getting some friends, and I’ll be putting the charts up for free each week.

Each block is approximately 5 inches x 6 inches with a 3mm hook or 4.5 inches x 7 inches if you use a 4mm hook.

As the pattern is a graph you can use it for knitting, crochet, c2c crochet, cross stitch, beadwork, patchwork, and anything else you can possibly think of 😃

Without further ado, here is today’s block….

I love this little Ray so much I’ve been playing around with the pattern and have made him a 3D companion.

I’ve used Stylecraft Special DK to make this one, but you could use any yarn and colours that you fancy.
