Mosaic Crochet Techniques
Mosaic crochet simplifies the creation of intricate and colorful patterns by utilizing a combination of single crochet stitches and drop-down double crochet stitches. With this technique, you work the single crochet stitches in the back loop, which creates a textured effect, while the drop-down double crochet stitches are used to form the design elements. This method allows for flexibility in color changes and produces visually captivating results.
How To Read Stitch Chart
In mosaic crochet, the chart is read from right to left for each round. Each round alternates between colors, as specified in the left column. A is a white color, B is a green color. The entire round is worked in the designated color, You will not change color throughout a round. A blank box signifies a single crochet in the back loop only (blo), while an X indicates a drop-down double crochet stitch.
