This pattern is for an overlay 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 will need at least 2 colors of yarn - one for the background and one for the skate, however you can use silver for the blade & brown for the heel instead of white, or any colors you wish for the background & skate. A striped or gradient background would look nice as well.

This is a great way to use up scraps! For projects using 2 colors, (one for the background & one for the featured design), you will need approximately 2 oz of each color for a worsted or aran (wt 4) type of yarn. If you want the optional silver & brown colors, you only need maybe .5 oz of those colors.

Pattern is in US crochet terms.
