- Yarn A (Main Color): A warm, neutral tone such as rust, mustard, or dark brown.
- Yarn B (Accent Color): A lighter or more vibrant color like cream, teal, or burgundy for contrast.
Other Supplies:
- Crochet Hook: US I/9 (5.5 mm)
- Stitch Markers: To help you keep track of your rounds.
- Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends.
- Optional leather tags, leather rivets, Faux Pom Pom
What Is Mosaic Crochet?
Mosaic crochet is a colorwork technique that uses slip stitches to create intricate patterns. Unlike other colorwork techniques, you only work with one color per round, working double crochet stitches into the front loop of the stitch 2 rows below to create geometric color joines from previous rows into the pattern.
For this project, the mosaic stitch pattern creates a geometric, textured look that’s both modern and classic, making it a perfect fit for fall accessories like the Autumn Breezes Hat.

FAQs: Crochet Mosaic Hats
Q: Is mosaic crochet difficult?
A: Mosaic crochet might look complex, but it’s much easier than it appears. You’ll only work with one color at a time, which makes it beginner-friendly. If you can crochet basic stitches you can do mosaic crochet!
Q: How do I choose colors for mosaic crochet?
A: Choose two high-contrast colors to really make the pattern pop. Think of a dark and a light color combination or go for bold color choices to make your mosaic design stand out.
Q: Can I adjust the size of the hat?
A: Absolutely! You can adjust the number of rounds or stitches to make the hat larger or smaller. Just be mindful of the pattern repeats in mosaic crochet.
Q: How do I block a mosaic crochet hat?
A: Blocking helps open up the stitches and show off the pattern. Gently wet-block your finished hat and shape it with a balloon or hat form to ensure a perfect fit.
