Beginner friendly pattern for those with some basic crochet experience and would like to try overlay mosaic. Pattern is for one block but would look lovely as a throw or blanket. Those wavy lines would appear quite stunning. Written in US terminology.

Pattern has written instructions and a chart (marked with Xs) for this block. Information about how to use the pattern to make a throw or afghan is included.

There are general details about how to do overlay mosaic crochet and notes for the chart. It is not difficult and only uses SC and DC stitches. There are a number of videos on utube demonstrating how to crochet overlay mosaic.

When choosing colours, it is important to choose contrasting colours so the pattern stands out. For instance, light and dark tones.

Any yarn can be used. Size is affected by the yarn, hook size and your tension. The block in the picture is 10 inches square (25.5cm) using Stylecraft Special DK (8ply) yarn.
