This pattern is for a mosaic crochet square that can be used in other types of projects, such as blankets, pillows, satchel bags, table mats, etc.

Any yarn or hook will work, depending on the desired size of the finished square. I used yarn weight of 4 with a 5.5 hook, which creates a square of 13.5” x 13”.

You can do this pattern in 2 colors if desired but the instructions will include the color changes within the corresponding rows. To do this project like the image, you will need a background color (mine is light aqua), along with the main bird color, plus white & pink or red for the chest/neck area, along with dark grey or black for the mask, beak & foot. You will also need green & pink or red for the flower, although you could use the same green for the hummingbird if desired. The instructions will list how & when to switch colors within those rows affected.

This is a great way to use up scraps! The total weight of this project is just under 4 oz, so you don’t need a large amount of yarn. The background is just under 2 oz, and the main bird color is around 1.25 or so. The green is around 1 oz, and the rest of the colors are less than half an oz. These are all based on medium worsted weight #4 type of yarn, which takes 200-250 yards total.

Pattern is in US crochet terms.
