Mosaic Squares - Mosaic Crochet Blanket Square Pattern (PDF)

Fun to say and even more fun to crochet, the Mosaic Squares Granny Square features a design of repeating squares that has such a satisfying sense of structure and order. Each round neatly builds on the last, stacking into clean lines and balanced shapes. It’s the kind of pattern that keeps you engaged while still feeling approachable, perfect for adding a little modern charm to your blanket.

What You’ll Make

This 12-inch square is worked in mosaic crochet in the round, from the center out. This technique is so much easier than you may think! It’s built from simple stitches worked in a clever way. Once you start, it all clicks. And I've provided photos and video tutorials to help you along!

The square was originally designed as part of Mosaic Grannies Collection, a year-long blanket CAL with 12 squares in total. You can make it as part of that blanket, your own blanket design, or use in other projects like pillows, table runners, or wall hangings.

Helpful Notes

• If you tend to have loose tension when you crochet, you may need to go down a hook size or choose a light worsted weight yarn to make this a 12" square.
• Carry the unworked yarn under the first BLOsc of each corner, then drop the unworked yarn to the wrong side of the work and continue working.
