Free Tapestry Crochet Pattern Maker
Turn a photo, motif, or geometric design into a tapestry crochet chart you can actually follow. Upload an image and MakeBead reduces it to a handful of yarn colors you can carry, builds the grid with true single-crochet proportions (so your bag looks like the picture, not a squashed version), and writes out every round — in the continuous spiral order mochila bags are really worked in, or flat serpentine rows for panels. Check the circumference at your gauge, flip any stitch in the editor, and export a printable PDF chart.

機能紹介
Round-by-Round for Bags
Instructions in the order tapestry is really worked: continuous spiral rounds, right side always facing, every round read the same direction — plus a circumference and flat-bag-width estimate at your gauge. Or switch to flat rows for panels.
True Stitch Proportions
A single crochet is wider than it is tall, so a naive chart crochets up squashed. MakeBead generates the chart with gauge-corrected rows — your motif keeps its shape in the finished fabric.
Few Colors You Can Carry
Tapestry carries every unused color inside the stitches, so the tool quantizes your image to a small, workable palette (default 4, up to 12) of real yarn colors.
Carry-Aware Yarn Estimate
Carrying strands eats 25–40% more yarn than plain single crochet. The per-color stitch counts and skein estimate already assume carrying — so you buy enough the first time.
Photo to Tapestry Graph
Upload a pet, motif, or logo and get an instant color-matched stitch grid — no plotting on graph paper. Click any stitch in the editor to adjust the design.
Printable PDF Chart
Download a print-ready PDF with the bottom-up numbered chart, color legend, stitch counts, and the full written instructions. Free, no sign-up.
What Is Tapestry Crochet?
Tapestry crochet is colorwork in single crochet: you work with two or more colors in the same row or round, carrying the unused strands inside the stitches and crocheting over them. The result is a dense, sturdy, double-sided fabric — the technique behind wayuu mochila bags, baskets, hats, and graphic wall panels.
Most tapestry pieces are worked in the round: continuous spiral rounds with the right side always facing, so — unlike a flat blanket — every round of the chart is read in the same direction, bottom to top. Flat pieces are worked back and forth instead, reading the chart in a serpentine. A chart that doesn't tell you which is which is a chart you'll misread.
A tapestry crochet pattern maker does the fiddly parts for you: it reduces a photo to a carryable palette, corrects for the wide-stitch proportions of single crochet, and writes each round or row out as color runs. For other crochet styles, see the crochet graph maker (graphgan & C2C) and the filet crochet pattern maker (open/filled mesh lace).

よくある質問
How do I turn a photo into a tapestry crochet pattern? ▾
Upload the image, set the width in stitches and the number of yarn colors (fewer is easier to carry — 3 to 5 is typical), and MakeBead builds a color-matched stitch chart with round-by-round written instructions. Export the PDF and work from the chart or the written lines.
Can I make a mochila bag pattern? ▾
Yes — that is the default mode. The written instructions come out as continuous spiral rounds (right side always facing, every round read the same direction), and the setup block shows the circumference and approximate flat bag width for your stitch count and gauge.
Why does my chart have more rows than the image is tall? ▾
Because a single crochet stitch is wider than it is tall (about 12 stitches but 15 rows per 4 inches). MakeBead adds the extra rows on purpose so the finished fabric shows your motif in true proportion instead of vertically squashed. Adjust the gauge to fine-tune it.
How many colors should I use? ▾
Every color in a round is carried inside the stitches, so more colors mean a thicker, stiffer fabric and more tangling. Most tapestry patterns use 2–6 colors; the tool defaults to 4 and caps at 12. Reduce the Max Colors slider until the motif still reads clearly.
How do I read the chart in the round? ▾
Bottom to top, every round in the same direction — the written instructions print each round as color runs ("Round 12 (→): 8 White, 5 Black, …"). There is no turning: the right side always faces you, which is why tapestry motifs stay crisp.
How much yarn do I need? ▾
The materials list counts stitches per color and converts them into skeins — and the estimate already assumes tapestry carrying, which uses roughly 25–40% more yarn than plain single crochet. Still swatch and check your own tension for big projects.
Can I work it flat instead of in the round? ▾
Yes — switch the written instructions to "Flat (rows)". Rows then alternate reading direction (serpentine), matching back-and-forth work with turning chains.
Why does the fabric lean when I work in the round? ▾
Tapestry crochet in continuous rounds naturally slants a little to the right (for right-handed crocheters). Working in the back loop, keeping tension even, or blocking reduces it. The chart itself is drawn square, like virtually all published tapestry charts.
What size will my bag or panel be? ▾
Enter your gauge (stitches and rows per 4 in / 10 cm — the default matches worsted-weight single crochet) and the tool shows the finished size; in round mode the written setup also translates the stitch count into a circumference and flat-lying bag width.
