Mosaic Crochet Stitch Pattern

This Crochet stitch pattern is called  Mosaic.  It uses all the stitches to create the pattern. A beginner can easily create this design. This crochet pattern has repeats in case you want to increase the number of stitches you are using. 

Stitches Used: 

• Single Crochet (SC)
• Half Double Crochet (HDC)
• Double Crochet (DC)
• Triple Crochet (TR)
• Long Single Crochet (LSC)

Chain: Multiple if 12+11

Pattern: Mosaic Stitch Pattern

Size: 7 inch square
Chain: 23
Hook: I              
Yarn: Red Heart or any worsted weight yarn

Color pattern:
2 Rows with Yarn A and 2 rows with Yarn B
OR
2 rows A, 2 rows B,  2 rows A, 2 rows C then repeat if needed


**PLEASE READ Quick Note: Because of the amt of stitches and to save time, when I say "2SC", that means "Do 1SC in each of the next 2 stitches". If I say 4DC's then do 1DC in each of the NEXT 4 stitches. I never write patterns like this but it will save a lot of space and be less confusing, or intimidating, for you.**


Abbreviations: 
* : repeat the instructions between the asterisks
SC= Single Crochet HDC= Half Double Crochet
DC=Double Crochet  TR= Triple Crochet   Ch = Chain
2LSC (Long Single Crochet) = Inserting hook from front, like a normal stitch, work 1SC into each of the 2 skipped SC's  3 rows below.

The first pattern is the exact pattern I do in the video. If you want to make something larger, under it is the pattern with the repeats.

Modern Traditional Granny Square Blanket

                                                        

This is my first Granny Square Blanket and I really enjoyed making it. It's made up of  40 Traditional Granny Squares that are 8 inches in width, before the white border. I wanted to make it because when my brother and I were born my mom received baby blankets for us. I still have mine to this day and I"m 36 years old. Mine is a twin size. I figured if mine lasted this long this one might too.

INSTRUCTONS HERE

The most important thing for me was the price which is why I made it.  It cost under $15.00.

Both Caron 1 Pound Yarns (blue and tan) can be bought at 40% off from Michaels using their coupon. $5.40 each then I got 1 skein of Red Heart for the white border, and to sew it together.

30 Squares of 2 rows of Blue / 2 rows of Tan /  2 rows of Blue, finish with white

10 Squares of 2 rows of Tan / 2 rows of Blue / 2 rows of Tan, finish with white

For exact yardage download the instructions from the link at  the beginning of this post.
