I've noticed in 2 of my previous posts that members have mentioned that it's important to always use the tightest stitch possible. It's not true. There are many tapestry crochet patterns out there that require a loose stitch. Here is a photo of an afghan I hooked up a few years ago. I used RHSS and a size N crochet hook. The finished afghan has a beautiful woven look and is VERY warm

Very pretty! You are very talented.

Thanks for the compliment. The designer is Carol Ventura. There is an intersting article about the afghan at this link:  http://www.tapestrycrochet.com/blog/?p=842

This bag was made using RHSS and size G hook. The original pattern calls for Lion Organic Cotton and a size G hook. If you happen to own the April 2009 issue of Crochet World Magazine, then you own this one

And yet another "softy."  This is one that I made using the motif from Carols Laptop Cozy pattern. I made it using RHSS and a size G hook. I did change the hook size when I was making the stitches that make up the straps. I always used it as a laundry duffel and my cousin really needed one more than I did, so he ended up with it. The original pattern can be found in the June 2007 issue of Crochet World Magazine. See how un-complicated tapestry crochet can be? Once you fully understand the way the stitches rest, it's just a matter of making a base that is the multiple of the stitches that make up the repeat. Does that make any sense??

Here's another one that's on the soft side. I made one for a friend's daughter. Wish I would have taken a photo, but forgot to do it.

I think that you are right,

tapestry crochet can surely be used to create also soft garments, why not..

It is a crochet technique just like the other ones that designers use in order to construct wearables.

A structure/fabric that uses a tight stitch should be used for specific purposes,

just like fabrics that are made of loose stitches.

I am sure that the purpose should say how tight or loose should the stitch be.
