What is the Mosaic Crochet Technique?

Mosaic crochet is a type of colorwork technique that uses basic stitches to create intricate designs. The premise of this style of crochet is simple: two colors are used, alternating between each one row by row.

By using basic slip stitches and single crochets, you can produce beautiful mosaic-like patterns in your projects. Just like this mosaic crochet blanket! You can also see this mosaic crochet technique used on garments like the Wish Upon A Star Cardigan or the Seabird Mosaic Crochet Cardigan.

This makes these mosaic crochet techniques perfect for creating bold and beautiful designs without the fuss of more complicated stitches. While it does take some time to learn, with practice, you can create stunning pieces that will really make your project pop! Get creative and start exploring this mosaic crochet technique and style today.

What Type of Yarn Works Best?

When looking for the perfect yarn for an easy crochet pattern, it is important to consider a few key factors. For starters, look for a yarn with good stitch definition and color clarity. Mary Maxim Prism is ideal as its smooth texture gives excellent stitch definition. This type of yarn also has great drape, making it perfect for creating light and airy projects.

Self striping yarns are always fun for mosaic crochet because it keeps the project interesting. No two projects will ever look the same. Other yarns that would be great for this project would be Lion Brand Mandala or Premiere Colorfusion DK.

Another important factor is yarn weight. A worsted weight yarn such as Mary Maxim Mellowspun DK Yarn or Mary Maxim Maximum Value is ideal for the solid color of this type of a crochet pattern as it works up quickly and gives a good stitch definition. Finally, choose colors that will contrast well with one another in order to create the desired pattern.

How to Read An Inset Mosaic Chart

Inset mosaic crochet charts can be a bit intricate but are decipherable with a little guidance. Here's a step-by-step process to read one:

Understand Mosaic Crochet: Before delving into the chart, it's essential to understand the basics of mosaic crochet. In inset mosaic crochet, each color is typically worked for two rows. The pattern is created by changing colors and utilizing different stitches to create the design. You can try out a smaller sample with the Mosaic Crochet Tips & Tricks post.

Symbols: Different symbols represent different stitches or actions in the chart. Common symbols include squares per stitch, and X's for Mosaic Double Crochet Stitches. Refer to the legend to understand what each symbol means.

Read Rows: Charts are read from the bottom up, from right to left for right-handed crocheters and from left to right for left-handed crocheters. On an Inset Chart each Row of stitches will be worked twice, once for the right side row, and a second time on the wrong side row. The rows are numbered on the left and right sides of the chart.

Repeat Sections: Inset mosaic crochet charts often have repeating sections. Once you understand a section of the chart, look for repetitions of that section throughout the chart. This can make it easier to memorize and follow the pattern.

Count Stitches: As you work each row, count your stitches to ensure you're following the chart correctly. Mosaic crochet often involves repeating patterns, so counting can help you stay on track.

Use Markers: Consider using stitch markers to mark the beginning and end of each repeat or section of the pattern. This can help you keep track of where you are in the chart and identify any mistakes more easily.

Practice: Reading crochet charts, especially intricate ones like inset mosaic charts, can take practice. Start with simpler charts and gradually work your way up to more complex patterns.

Mosaic crochet is a fun and unique technique that can be used to make basic crochet stitches create intricate patterns and bold color combinations. With some practice, you will be able to master this style of crochet and create beautiful pieces that are sure to stand out! I hope you enjoy making this mosaic crochet blanket.

Notes for the Mosaic Blanket

For this style of mosaic technique, do not chain 2 to make the 1 chain space as other patterns do. Simply chain 1 for each skipped stitch loosely and continue on.

If you want to hide your chains on the back of your work, to not be a choking/entanglement risk, work the mdc around the chain stitches to incorporate the chain into the mdc. This free mosaic crochet blanket pattern has detailed written instructions and chart instructions below.

While we are using 2 different styles and weights of yarn if using the Mary Maxim Maximum Value, through testing, we found they work well together, keep checking your gauge for proper sizing. Check out the detailed instructions below.

Special Stitches:
Mosaic Double Crochet (mdc): is worked as a double crochet stitch, but it will be worked into the skipped stitch three rows below. This stitch will be worked on the front (or right sides) of the blanket.

Stacked Single Crochet (Stsc): Do NOT chain, insert hook into next stitch, yo, pull up a loop, yo and pull through both loops, insert hook into crochet stitches the vertical bar below, yo, pull up a loop, yo and pull through both loops on the hook.

Notes on customizing this blanket size:
This blanket has a stitch repeat of 8 + 2. You can chain the amount of stitches desired and work the first mosaic crochet section. Then work rows of hdc for the middle section adjusting for the total height in this section, and then repeat the mosaic section one more time.

Finishing Lotus Crochet Mosaic Blanket

It is important to block this blanket for the best look, similar to ironing your clothes. If you have a blocking mat and pins that works best, but you can also get the blanket damp and lay it out on some towels to dry. Then snuggle up and enjoy! And if you are ready to dive into another mosaic crochet blanket with a bit of a twist, try the Snowflake Hexagon Mosaic Crochet Blanket. The Winter Freeze Blanket is another gorgeous mosaic project!

After completing your beautiful mosaic crochet blanket, it's essential to store and care for it properly to ensure its longevity and beauty. To store your blanket, fold it neatly and place it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Avoid hanging it, as this can cause stretching and distortion over time. When it comes to care, gently hand wash your blanket using mild detergent and lukewarm water. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric, and instead, gently squeeze out excess water before laying it flat to dry.

Additionally, consider using a fabric shaver to remove any pills or fuzz that may accumulate over time, preserving the blanket's pristine appearance for years to come. With proper storage and care, your mosaic crochet blanket will continue to bring warmth and beauty to your home for generations to come. Happy Crocheting!
