Reversible Mosaic Crochet
Reversible Mosaic Crochet is created by working the back side of the work at the same time you work the front side. It may sound a little confusing at first (and it takes a little time to get used to it) but it creates a mirror image of the front side and it is absolutely beautiful!
I used this reversible mosaic crochet tutorial to learn how to do reversible mosaic crochet and it worked great!

Envelope Border Instructions for Blankets
🌸 Step 1: Create the Surface Stitch Border
- Follow the Envelope Border technique (below) to add a surface stitch along both sides of your project.
- Side 1: I start in the top right corner and work through two loops of 36. Side 2: Work into the ch 1 spaces created at the end of each row. Side 3 (bottom): Work through 2 loops of foundation row. Side 4: Same as Side 2.
- Turn your piece as needed to work along the edges.
🌸 Step 2: Work Half Double Crochets
- After making the surface stitch, work half double crochets (hdc) into the back loop only of the surface stitch around – do 3 hdc in the corner stitches to round it out.
🌸 Step 3: Side 2
- Flip your project over.
- Repeat Steps 1 & 2.
- When creating the surface stitch on the second side, align it directly underneath the stitch from the first side to keep the border neat and uniform.
🌸 Step 4: Finish the Sides
- Once both sides are bordered with hdc in the back loops, tie off the yarn and weave in any loose tails.
🌸 Step 5: Join and Close the Borders
- Join a Color A or Color B (your choice – I used ecru for my join on this one) in the stitch just to the left of your corner stitches along the top right edge.
- Holding the front and back of the envelope border together, work half double crochets through both layers to join them — this also encloses any yarn tails inside.
🌸 Step 6: Final Touches
- Tie off and weave in all remaining tails.
- You’re done!
Enclosing the Tails
This pattern contains an envelope border to enclose the tails. I recommend tying and securing the tails before creating the envelope border, but it’s not necessary – picture tutorial is below for how to create the border. It’s easier than you think!
Envelope Border Pattern
Watch the tutorial video on YouTube here >>> Easy Envelope Border Tutorial to get you up to speed on creating this fun border to hide those pesky crochet tails! Then come back here and follow the written instructions.
- Follow instructions in the stitch guide to begin working the surface stitch, then…
- Work surface stitch around the entire pattern, join into the first surface stitch, cut & tie off.
- Round 1: (RS) Insert hook in any surface stitch (BLO). Hdc (BLO) in each surface stitch around, creating 3 hdc in each corner, join with a slip stitch in 1st hdc.
- Flip to the WS and repeat Steps 1 – 2, work your surface stitch just below the horizontal surface stitches from Round 1..
- After both sides are complete, insert hook in 1st stitch to the left of any corner, ch 1, hdc through the top two loops of each WS & RS all the way around, tucking tails in as you go.
- Join with invisible join, tie off and weave in any leftover tails.
