Growing your project: 22:47
Repeat Rows 3 through 12 until desired size. After final repeat you will work Row 3 as your final row.

I recommend using the below hook sizes depending on yarn used:
3 DK yarn : 3.5mm to 4.5mm
Size 4 Medium/worsted weight: 4.5mm to 5.5mm.
Mixing 3 & 4 weight:  3.5mm to 4.5mm
SIZE 1 Lace Weight - 2.75mm to 3mm  hook used on slouchy hat

THE YARN used in video: I'm using size 3 yarn, any brand will work as well as any size.
Color A: Hayfield Bonus Dk Extra Value in baby blue; Color B: mint
Yarn used for pillow listed below with project info.

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.

Suggested starting chains for various projects - counts include +4 at end:
Baby blanket: 116 chains depending on yarn size used

Place mats: 60 chains

Table Runner:  60 chains for total width of table runner, you will then work the repeats to obtain the total length for your table.

Throw blanket : 172 chains, yarn size will affect total width and the number of repeats is up to you and will determine total length

Tote or Throw Pillow: 60 chains depending on yarn size used and desired size, create 2 and seam together

Makeup or Notions bag: 32, create 2 and sew together or see in the round info below

Scarf: 32 chains depending on yarn size used and desired width. I recommend size 3 light weight yarn or smaller for garments. Wide scarf: 60 Chains; Shawl: 88 chains

IN THE ROUND projects - Slip stitch to first chain and you must work THE REPEAT starting in that first stitch following the repeat given in the video:

Slouchy Hat: 96 chains, in size 1 yarn with a 2.75mm hook

Throw Pillow: 14" to 16" pillow; I used a 3.5mm hook & chain 120, I used a 14" eyelet zipper and 1 skein each for color A & B, YARN USED: I love this yarn Prints in Tall Teal as color A, Big Twist Value in Medium Teal as color B

Bag or Tote: 56 chains to 84 chains depending on desired size

Treat bags/Mini gift bags: 44 to 56 chains

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

Project info and starting:
To begin your project you will chain in multiples of 4 plus 4 at the end to work a flat piece. 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 16 and had 15 stitches at the end of my first Foundation Row.

TO WORK IN THE ROUND: chain in multiples of 4 and slip stitch to the first chain. begin working the repeat in the first stitch [same stitch you slip stitches into) and follow the Repeat as given in the video.

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