Hi there!

This is the first design that I imagined when I started thinking about mosaic crochet, something that I’d always wanted to design! It has leaves and fireflies, two of my favorite shapes, creating a magical garden!

This is an overlay mosaic crochet pattern. The pattern has very detailed instructions, with text, chart and step by step pictures. Some basic overlay mosaic crochet knowledge is desirable (there are lots of free resources to learn on the Internet), but in any case I’ve included a basic introduction and description of the stitches used in this pattern for any adventurous crocheters who want to dive right in :)
