This pattern is for a mosaic crochet square that can be used in other types of projects, such as blankets, pillows, satchel bags, table mats, etc.

Any yarn or hook will work, depending on the desired size of the finished square. I used yarn weight of 4 with a 5.5 hook, which creates a square of 13.5” x 13”.

You will need 2-3 colors of yarn - the sample image uses teal for the background & adds the dark rose for the spiral & border. You could also do this pattern in 2 colors if you want to keep it simple, however the instructions include using all colors seen in the sample image.

This is a great way to use up scraps! For projects using 3 colors, you will need approximately 2 oz of the background color, 1+/- oz of the sun color and around .75 oz of the border/spiral color, if you are using a worsted or aran (wt 4) type of yarn.

Pattern is in US crochet terms.
