The research topic is patchwork, precisely matching und unfitting of samples of knitted or crocheted textiles which can be used in interior design. In addition of being an integral and permanent part of the trends in the fashion industry, patchwork is extremely popular in design of upholstery and furniture, as interesting and desirable styling element in space. This research is focused on matching of different textures (which are specifically expressible in knitted and crocheted textiles), as well as matching of colors. For each knitted and crocheted pattern, data were carefully recorded. Besides photo, texture of the sample was  described, as well as construction in which the pattern was made. Numerical data on the density of stitches helped to describe the texture. Analysis of this data included setting of samples of different textutes and colors side by side, or differently said, play with patterns and patchwork assembling, and recording their matching. Outcome of play with patterns (sucessful combinations) are presented in the paper. Those patterns are applicable in the form of interesting fabrics for upholstery, chairs, decorative pillows, blankets, up to now very modern patchwork carpets.
