If you like intricate-looking crochet designs, you’ll love those mosaic crochet patterns I am sharing with you today! There is a variety of mosaic crochet patterns for all skill levels!
Surprisingly, mosaic crochet isn’t too difficult – it requires a little attention to detail, but otherwise, it’s quite easy. So, if you never tried this technique before, then there is no better time to try as now.
Some of the mosaic crochet patterns below use a technique called Overlay Mosaic. With this technique, you will have one colour per row without changing colours in the middle of a row. This also means that you will need to cut the yarn after each row unless you’re working in the round.
But there also are other mosaic techniques which are explained in detail on the designer’s pattern page. Now, if you’re ready – let’s get started!
