Pattern
My version was with 3 weight cotton and 3.75mm hook, about 2k yards. I did a little tapestry method for the first time, changing colors mid row for the main image.

Tested by Azjm Pollard:
Light Worsted, DK weight butterfly yarn from Hobbii it came out 34x 30" (she used about most of two full green skiens and about half of three pink skeins. About 500 yards green, 700-800 yards pink).

This brilliant sample was made by Tracey May Row, who did it in reversible stitch!! She used 4 weight yarn and 5mm hook, and about 3k yards.

Overlay mosaic crochet pattern!
This pattern has both written and graph directions (including a big graph for those who use electronic devices and/or Knit Companion), with two versions (a square -- pictured-- and a bigger/longer rectangle version). There is also a link to a quickie tutorial on diagonal stitches, as there are just a few in Ganesh’s eyebrows!
Beginner hints included (separate document) for those who crochet but are new to mosaic.
Ganesh is a beloved deity in the Hindu pantheon, known as the “remover of obstacles.” He is my personal favorite and I hope you love him too!
Yardage will vary depending on version and your tension. I used about 2000 yards for my version, my tester used closer to 3000.
Happy hooking! :)
