This is my first attempt to crochet a tapestry top. Since my favourite is Minion, so I made one with it. I used a 4 mm hook and cotton yarn. For the Minion part, it has 4 colors, this part would be a bit think. The top part I used Suzette stitch.
The tutorial video :
First, make a foundation chain. The number of chain depend on your chest size and maybe your tummy size, if any. I am making it in a round like amigurumi. One set of Minions requires 38 stitches. One set of Minions has 3 different Minions. Or you can choose any other tapestry pattern that you like and check the number of stitches you need to make one pattern.
Once I had the number of stitches, in my case was, 152 stitches which gives me 4 sets of the Minion pattern. I turn my work and make single crochet on the bump side till the last stitch before I joint it in a round. Refer to video for better understanding.
This is how the 1 set of Minions look like. The spacing between the Minions is up to you. So have all these consideration figured out before you decide how many foundation chain you actually need.
After the 1st round of single crochet and joint the foundation chain into a round, I did 1 row of Suzette stitch, that is a single crochet and a double crochet in the same stitch. Skip the next stitch. Do another Suzette stitch and skip a stitch. Repeat until the end.
After 1 row of Suzette stitch, I start my tapestry crochet. Follow the diagram above as to when to change color and to what color. The whole tapestry crochet is in single crochet. After the last row of tapestry crochet, do one row of single crochet. After that do Suzette stitch again up to the length you require.
I made 2 strap for the shoulder, also in Suzette stitch and sew it on the top. The width is also up to you. You can have it wider or narrower.
