What is Mosaic Crochet?
Mosaic crochet is a colorwork technique that creates intricate, textured designs using simple slip stitches—and the best part? You only work with one color per row.
Unlike stranded colorwork, you don’t have to juggle multiple yarns at once. This technique allows you to create stunning geometric patterns while keeping your crochet relaxed, fun, and frustration-free!
If you’re new to mosaic crochet, this pattern is the perfect introduction—you’ll love watching the colorwork emerge, row by row!
