Tapestry crochet is just colorwork with single crochet.

For this potholder, you will make a separate piece for the back that is plain which will hide the back. You can carry the other color or not carry it and just hide the way the back looks at the end.

If you are interested in buying an ad-free pdf version of this pattern, it is available on Ravelry and Etsy and from Ko-fi
