Pine Tree Mosaic Crochet Pattern
Mosaic crochet has a set of rules you need to follow:
- use 2 colors that are clearly different and easy to differentiate
- use alternating rows of these 2 colors
- start each row on the right side (left side for left handed crocheters)
- cut the yarn at the end of each row
- use BLSC for regular stitches and MosaicFLDC indicated with an X in the pattern to bring the color over one row.
- at the beginning and end of your work, you add a SC
- You can repeat the pattern over and over in a row to create larger projects such as pillows or blankets
This Pine Tree Coaster Pattern has a repeat of 15. When you look at the pattern, column 1 shows you what alternating color you are using in each row. You are only using 1 color for each row for both the black and white squares. These are blsc. The squares with an x and mosaicfldc. The pattern itself starts on column 3 all the way across to column 17.
Here is the written pattern, but you can also just follow the chart above.
