F1 Race Car Silhouette (Easy)

Tapestry No. : 5

Title: F1 Race Car Silhouette

Started: Sunday, 9th August 2026

Finished: Sunday, 9th August 2026

Status: Finished

Pinterest Inspiration:

This design caught my eye because it was the only design with the least colour changes and easy to follow for a beginner like me. 

Changes made in Stitch Fiddle

-I only made changes to the background colour as part of colour theory experimentation.

Overall Mood

-Alive, bright, simple and lively

Materials

-Yarn Brand: Milk Cotton

-8 PLY

-Hook Size: 5mm

-Colour Used: Purple Powder & Black

-Finished Size: 30 x 30 squares

Tension

-Tension was very smooth for this tapestry because there were lesser colour changes to work with and I slowly got the hang of it after making the first 4 tapestries. 

Colour Work

-The silhouette area was small so less colour work to do. 

Hand & Wrist Comfort 

-Wrist and fingers were more relaxed because there were less colour changes to work with and tension has improved a lot. 

Yarn Behaviour 

-Both yarn colours were easy to use and were very smooth. And since there were lesser red parts, it was easy to control yarn tension and make smoother colour changes. 

Row Milestones

-Since this one is also quite simple, I was able to finish it in one sitting. 

Lessons Learned

-Purple powder and black go well together but it does have a very high contrast. So I probably won’t use these 2 colours together again. 

-Crocheting the extra yarn as I go, makes it easier to hide them. 

-I should tug the yarn lightly during colour changes to reduce tightness in each row.  

Personal Reflection 

This project was a breeze to make because of its simplicity. The small area of black colour made it easier to work with and it allowed me to adjust my tension better. But I definitely need to experiment more on colour combinations. 

Personal Rating 

-Enjoyment 5/5

-Difficulty 1/5

-Tension Quality 5/5

-Would I make it again? Yes.
