I have to confess that I am intrigued by tapestry crochet; just because you can be so creative with a design so I was very excited when our next lovely designer, from Crimson Clover, designed a tapestry crochet block for us to use in the CAL and what a unique design it is!

Aztec Square by Kim Green
Notes:
- Hook: 5.5 mm (US Size I)
- Yarn: Aran / 10 ply / Worsted / Weight #4
- Colours: I would suggest at least two different colours
- Pattern uses American crochet terms see conversion chart here
Specialist Stitches:
None but you might want to research colour changing if you are not familiar with the technique: Crochet Guru has a good video on Youtube.
My Version:
Ta dah!! This is my version of this square using my colour palette (I blogged about this here). I love how this design looks in two colours but I really wanted to use all five of my colours – as I have in all of the patterns we’ve made so far. I had fun coming up with this finished version.
Don’t forget to stay tuned for the next block to be released on the 16th or 17th September.
