I am excited to introduce the Nia bucket hat my first mosaic pattern. When I first came across mosaic crochet, I thought it was only used for blankets, but I was excited to realize it can be applied to any crochet project including bucket hats. This opened a window of opportunities for designs I never thought were possible.

This pattern uses mosaic overlay principles worked in a round and you do not need to cut the yarn at the end of each row, you just drop and pick up the yarn at the end or beginning of each row.
Mosaic crochet is an advanced form of crochet technique, you will need to know the basic stitches and how to work in a round, therefore beginner crocheters may find it challenging. You will also need to know the basics of mosaic crochet.

A mosaic chart is included to support the written pattern.
