There are so many different ways to play with color in crochet. In fact, you can use the exact same crochet grid chart with at least half a dozen different techniques to create totally different projects.

In this free corner to corner crochet tapestry pattern, you’ll create a wall hanging inspired by nature that makes brilliant use of color.
Red Heart Peak Your Interest Corner to Corner Crochet Tapestry Free Pattern
This is a free pattern over at Yarnspirations. Use five different colors of yarn to create a mountain-inspired design with a sort of clouded sunset in the background. It’s a beautiful picture that would look great in almost any room of the home. It would also warm up an office space or classroom, making it a very versatile design that goes beyond just home decor.
Corner to Corner Crochet Tapestry in 5 Colors
When you work this technique, you start in one corner of the chart and each block in the chart represents one block of the design. The chart shows you which color to use for each block. Once you get going, it’s a pretty fast technique. And it allows you to create almost any design that you desire.
In this case, you’ll work with five different colors. If you use the ones recommended in the pattern, then you’ll have three shades of blue that create the mountains and sky. You’ll also have grey and orange in the sky. In any given row, you may work with one, two, or three colors. When you first start, you’ll get moving quickly on the technique, because you’ll use the same color throughout the first several diagonal rows.
To change color properly in this technique, you want to work the stitch to the last loops on the hook of the previous color. Then yarn over with the new color that you’re changing to in the next block. Draw that yarn through the remaining loops and continue on with the new color.
Hygge Yarn
You can use any yarn that you’d like for this corner to corner crochet tapestry pattern. After all, it’s a wall hanging, so you don’t necessarily need specific gauge or texture. That said, the pattern recommends Hygge yarn. This is a super soft and cozy Bulky Weight yarn. It’s a great choice because it has the softness that really complements the organic nature of the mountain design. It has a furry feeling that makes you want to touch the wall hanging!
