Mosaic Newbie?
Don’t worry if you’re new to mosaic. It sure does look complicated doesn’t it? It is perhaps the easiest crochet technique that gives you AMAZING designs and color changes, without a lot of tails to weave in if you do an envelope border. Or you can leave them shaggy and tie them in knots.
Either way, it’s uses 2 basic beginner crochet stitches! Yes, that’s right! WOOHOO it’s exciting!

The yarn and yardage as as follows:
Hint of Silver – 6 skeins (1900 yds). The following only require 1 skein each or approximately 320 yards. Lipstick (red), Spice (orange), Dandelion (yellow), Green (green), Aster (blue), Violet (purple).

What is Mosaic Crochet?
Mosaic crochet is a way to make colorful patterns using two or more yarn colors. You work with one color at a time and crochet over previous stitches to create a layered design. This technique makes it look like a mosaic, similar to a tile pattern.
There are several types of mosaic crochet, but overlay mosaic is especially easy! Here’s why:
- Uses simple stitches (single crochet & double crochet)
- No color changes!
- Easier than C2C color changes (amazing)
- Creates beautiful patterns with ease.
If you’re on the fence about mosaic crochet or feel scared of it, don’t be! It’s much easier than you imagine, and Erin guides you through every step.
She will help you when needed and you’ll be learning together, which is always wonderful in our amazing crochet community.
