It builds from the center out in a beautifully balanced way, creating striking geometric lines with a strong, grounded feel. This approachable pattern will keep your hands busy and your mind relaxed.

What You’ll Make

Designed for adventurous beginners and beyond, 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 AND I've provided photos and video tutorials to help you along!

The pattern comes with written instructions and a chart, as well as helpful photos and link to video tutorial for overlay mosaic crochet.

The square was originally designed as part of Mosaic Grannies Collection, a year-long blanket CAL with 12 squares in total. Get the collection here, which includes all 12 squares at a deep discount. 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.
