Discover a method that lets you get the look of multiple midrow color changes without all the hassle. This technique uses chain spaces to form a lattice to work over. Colors are worked the entire row and color changes are only done at the ends of rows. You will find 20 different granny square patterns, all the same size, plus instructions to join them together, as well as a simple but unique border. For most squares the yarn is carried up the side and worked over when stitching the border.

Mosaic Crochet Workshop

Mosaic crochet is a cutting-edge technique that allows you to work two-colour patterns without having to change yarns in one row. You simply skip stitches in one row and connect them by filling in with the alternate colour two rows later. This produces incredible modern geometric patterns that look amazing as throws, blankets, afghans, pillows, rugs, bags and other accessories – using a much easier method than other crochet colourwork techniques. One crochet hook and two balls of yarn are all you need to get started.

While it might look complex, mosaic crochet is actually incredibly straightforward once you learn the basic techniques. If you can work a chain, a double crochet (US single crochet) and a treble crochet (US double crochet), then you can mosaic crochet (…and if you can’t, don’t worry, all the stitches you need are covered in the book). And what’s even better is that there are minimal ends to sew in because it works on a two-row method with the yarn carried up the side of the work.
