Completed my first mosaic blanket. I re-uploaded the post with slightly better photos. These photos still don’t do the blanket justice. I always found mosaic crochet slightly intimidating but I was ultimately super surprised how easy and quick this worked up. I found the envelope border to be tedious but loved the finished look. Debating if I should block or not.
I just started my first mosaic project. And as expected, the geometric design is pretty easy to keep track of.
But looking at all the pretty blankets with pictures - how do you do it? Do you use software or pen and paper? It looks like you would have to keep one eye on the instructions constantly.
It is far to early to plan a new project, but I can't help it with all the pretty designs out there....

Hello friends 🌿
I made a little thing and figured this is the corner of the internet that might actually like it: mosaicery.com.
It's a browser editor for mosaic crochet charts. You paint your motif on a grid, and the editor handles the skip/drop logic for you — so you can just draw, not do mental math. When you're done, it prints out a chart and written instructions.
I'm building it slowly on my own — if you try a motif in there, I'd love to hear what felt off.
Soft hugs 💛
Please ignore my heavily pilled pants lol
I work on this blanket (~5’ wide) most nights after work, though I did take most of May off for other outside projects. I started in November.
Each row takes me about 30 minutes on average, so it’s slow going. I’m struggling more and more to pick it up because I work on it while hubby and I watch our way through Bridgerton, and I miss all the spicy expressions and longing glances across fancy gardens and crowded ballrooms. :/
Additionally, the colorway is meh to me. It’s a gift and the recipient chose the general color scheme. I’m more of a blue/teal person myself.
I’m open to suggestions for the border. Right now I’m thinking an envelope in the purple will be the way to go (if I have enough leftover- I wasted 2 skeins on a false-start with another yarn that looked… not good).
Pattern is AZUL by Tinna Thórudóttir. Yarn is Hobbii Cotton Cake and Rainbow Cotton.
Edit to add: this is my first mosaic crochet piece, but I’ve been crocheting for probably 15 years now.
For my border stitch I have just been doing a sc through both loops without a chain after it will this effect anything like a border or how it sits
I’m very happy with how this turned out as I only taught myself how to crochet last summer, and this blanket was a huge motivation to improve my tension.
Started six weeks ago, working on and off between other things.
I hope you like it.
Started this blanket, my first mosaic crochet project, but soon realised that my maze pattern was not big enough 🤦🏽♀️ so this is now the full maze complete but it's only around 55cm squared.
I am working in the round hence some dodgy corner lines there (I know how to adjust the pattern now if I ever try this again)
I want to keep going with the same colours (alternating black and rainbow yarn) but I don't have any ideas for patterns for the rest of it. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.
Hello!
After years of knitting and crocheting, I’d love to dip my toe into the world of mosaics. However, I’m a bit intimidated.
Is there a pattern or video source you would recommend that helped you take the leap and create the beautiful work you do?
Thanks so much in advance!
So I just started learning mosaic crochet, I am making mistakes but I can't be happier. All those years of solving sudoku helped, ı suppose.
One of my best friends turned 30 a couple of weeks ago and has had a FUCK of a saturn return: break-up (after 9 years), first solo apartment, first time directing a play, going down to half-time custody of her perfect little dog. I just finished her birthday/housewarming/show gift.
After hours of trying I finally got a mosaic grid set up. Can someone look over it to make sure it will actually work? Thank youuuuu
I want to start mosaic crochet and made this grid but have no idea how to convert it to Mosaic crochet :(
