MY FIRST MOSAIC CROCHET

Mosaic crochet is one of the hottest new techniques to add colorwork to crochet pieces.  It was inspired by mosaic knitting and uses single crochet and double crochet, with only one color being worked on each row.  This pattern uses an overlay technique working double crochet stitches in front of previous stitches and having two layers of crochet in that area.  This pattern does not require cutting yarn every row and is crocheted in the round.  This class will include reading mosaic charts and focus on the mosaic portion of the hat. This class will not be using the ‘interlock’ or mesh mosaic crochet.  By Rebecca Cook.
