What is jeeting?

Jeeting, also known as jiting or tapestry crochet, is a crochet technique that involves creating intricate colorwork designs by carrying multiple yarns at once. This technique allows for the creation of detailed patterns and motifs in crochet work, similar to the way tapestries are woven.

Jeeting can be done with a variety of crochet stitches, but is most commonly done using single crochet stitches. The design is created by carrying a contrast color yarn along the back of the work and switching colors as needed to create the desired pattern.

Jeeting can be a bit more challenging than traditional crochet techniques, as it requires careful tension control and the ability to manage multiple strands of yarn at once. However, with practice and patience, you can create stunning and unique pieces using this technique.

Jeeting is commonly used to create items such as blankets, scarves, and bags, but can be adapted for use in nearly any type of crochet project. If you enjoy working with color and texture in your crochet projects, jeeting may be a technique worth exploring.
