What are Tapestry and Overlay Crochet?

In tapestry crochet, multiple yarns are carried and switched throughout the work to form patterns or motifs. As a result, the finished fabric often resembles woven textiles more than traditional crochet, giving it a dense, loom-like appearance. Tapestry crochet is often confused with or referred to by other names such as jacquard crochet, intarsia, mosaic, Fair Isle, and general colorwork.

Overlay Crochet can be thought of as working with two separate but connected layers of stitches:

1. The background layer – simple, flat, and often visible behind the design.

2. The image layer – worked on top, where the pattern, picture, or decorative elements are created, almost like “painting with yarn.”

The background is usually made up of single crochet stitches. Sometimes these are worked in the back loop only, leaving the front loop open. This unused loop becomes an anchor point for longer stitches (such as trebles or double trebles) that are added in later rounds to form the design.

Because of this structure, image overlay crochet tends to produce fabrics that are lighter, more fluid, and less dense compared to traditional mosaic overlay crochet, giving them a delicate and drapey quality.
