Welcome to Mosaic Monday!
In this tutorial I will teach you how to crochet this eye catching Mosaic design. This pattern is worked in a NEW MULTIPLE and is not Part of the Crochet Along (CAL).

The chart for this is in my Etsy shop which you can find here:
https://www.etsy.com/FiberFoxStudios/...

You DO NOT need the chart to do this tutorial, every row is shown in the tutorial. The chart is only available for those who wish to purchase it instead of following the tutorial here on YouTube. The file contains both the single repeat taught here in this video and the additional repeats for those who want to continue for multiple repeats of the pattern. NOTE: Ravelry no longer accepts chart only uploads so unfortunately I can only utilize my Etsy shop at this time.

Mosaic crochet is great for all skill levels and can be used to create many different things such as blankets, pillows, purses/bags, totes and garments. You can crochet these patterns in any combination you would like or just choose one and make and entire project with the same design. The result will be an eye catching, geometric design that is unisex and versatile.

Suggested starting chains for various projects - counts include +2 at end:
Baby blanket: 102 to 122 chains depending on yarn size used

Throw blanket : 162 chains, yarn size will affect total width and the number of repeats I'd up to you and will determine total length

Tote or Throw Pillow: 42 chains or 54 chains depending on yarn size used and desired size

Makeup or Notions bag: 32 chains

Scarf: 32 to 42 chains depending on yarn size used and desired width. I recommend size 3 light weight yarn or smaller for wearables.

You can create any project you like from Mosaic Crochet, these are just a few suggestions!

HOOK SIZE: I am using a 5mm hook in this tutorial. I recommend using the below hook sizes depending on yarn used:
3 DK yarn : 3.5mm to 4mm
Size 4 Medium/worsted weight: 5mm to 5.5mm.
Mixing 3 & 4 weight: 4mm to 4.5mm

THE YARN: I'm using size 4 yarn, any brand will work as well as any size. I love using DK weight yarn for Mosaics...If you are looking for some new yarns to try, check out Deramores! they have a huge selection of all kinds if yarn! And if you want to save $5.00 on your first order you can use this link to check out their yarns: http://i.refs.cc/jQr71X4p?smile_ref=e...

Note on mixing yarn sizes 3 (DK) & Size 4 (Medium Worsted weight): THE TRICK TO MIXING YARN SIZES IS JUST KEEPING YOUR TENSION EVEN AND USING THE SMALLEST SIZE HOOK RECOMMENDED FOR THE SMALLER YARN! You can use any yarn size you like and can use yarn that is all the same size, you do not have to mix yarn sizes.

To begin your project you will chain in multiples of 10 plus 2 at the end. You will skip the first chain and begin working in the second chain from the hook, ending up with an odd number of stitches. EXAMPLE: I chained 32 and had 31 stitches at the end of my first Foundation Row.

Stitches used in this project: Back Loop Single Crochet and Front Loop Double Crochet (drop down double crochet as I like to call it).
