( 17 stitches in chart plus 2 in the beginning, plus 2 in the end, plus 1 to turn) this row is not written in the chart) These row or round is not always written in the chart.Ī written pattern for the example chart would look like this ( plus a few of my comments) You need at least one row or round of stitches to start be able with the mosaic pattern.Otherwise it will not be possible to start a clean row with an alternate colour stitch. If you work in rows I recommend to add two stitches in the beginning and in the end of every row.First chain in a row or round does not count as stitch.Colour changes are done in the last stitch of the row or round with two loops on hook.Second round is always: one sc in every sc and dc, a chain2 over every chain 2.Later you will “fill” the skipped space with a “mosaic double crochet”. Same when a yarn A square appears in a Yarn B row. If a Yarn B stitch appears in a Yarn A row you chain 2 and skip the stitch. The first row/round “creates” the pattern. Every chart row represents two crochet rows or rounds in the same colour.

In this case: chart row 1 and 3 in yarn A, chart row 2 and 4 in yarn B. Usually you change colour after every chart row/round (= two crocheted rounds/rows).

Most patterns are worked in two colours (red = colour A, white = colour B).

The Pattern is crocheted from bottom to top and from right to left.

The special double crochet which is used (i call it the mosaic dc) Reading a chart:Ī mosaic crochet pattern follows a chart which can look like this: The most important things with mosaic crochet in my humble opinion (besides practice) are: I will try to give you a short introduction and hope that this will help you: The character of the patterns worked in rounds appear like they do not have a beginning nor an end (like the up early hat). Most patterns are symmetric and “never ending”. I really use it a lot and i am always hunting for new patterns on Pinterest or Instagram which are able to crochet in the mosaic technique.

Since then i am totally hooked on this technique. I first saw it in the mosaic blanket by Lilla Björn Crochet.

I really do not know who invented this method, it was not me, that’s for sure. Picture: Two yellow (mosaic)dcs connecting two yellow rows over a blue row. You simple can connect rows or rounds by skipping a stitch and “filling” the skipped stitch with a double crochet 2 rows or rounds later with the alternate coloured yarn. This technique gives you the opportunity to crochet two colour patterns without changing yarn in one row or round. (Using us/european crochet terms in this post) What is mosaic crochet?
