This is an overlay mosaic crochet design worked in the round. There are instructions for leg warmers which can be adapted to a range of sizes, plus two different mosaic crochet patterns - one of which works well in a single color if desired. I also give ideas for how to adapt this pattern to use other mosaic crochet designs.

This is a fairly simple pattern suitable for someone who is intermediate at crochet. I enjoy working in the round like we do in this pattern, as you don’t have lots of ends to weave in or cover like you would when working in rows. Each time we change colors in this piece, you drop the previous color behind and pick it up in the next round without cutting. If you are new to working in the round or to mosaic crochet patterns, I include some basic instructions and photos, and links for some of my favorite video tutorials in the pattern.

The pattern includes two mosaic charts with written instructions alongside.

I used Caron Simply Soft yarn - my yellow leg warmers are in Maize and the others are Tweeds in Gray Heather & Off White. Each adult medium leg warmer used 140g / 228 meters/ 250 yards of yarn. The pattern includes x4 size options - adult small (teen), medium & large plus kids (age 8-12) - but the sizing is quite forgiving in this pattern. Both patterns repeat every 12 stitches.

I’d love to see what you make!
