This is an overlay mosaic crochet pattern (intermediate)

A tribute to bug lovers and nature fans alike. This pattern can be worked up as a complete design, half panel for a wall hanging, or you can do a few solo bugs for pillows etc (graphs only on those).

This is an intermediate design, with some diagonals (though those are easy once you learn how to do them!) The pattern has sectioned charts, full chart for Knit Companion, half chart for wall hanging, written in both right and left handed directions! Along with beginner tips and some video links, including my video on how to do diagonals.

My sample: Premier “Eggplant Tones” gradient 1600yds, HL Sport “Black” 1300 yds, 3.75mm hook, 56”x43” with border.

Janneke: 4/Worsted weight 1200yds brown, 1320 cream, 5mm hook, 52”x46” with border.

Tara (half panel): Loops and Threads “Highlighter” neon 565 yds, “Fuschia” 525 yds, 3.75 hook, 24”x 36” with border.

And my little solo bug I did with some leftover 4 weight black and pumpkin, and some bulky multicolored yarn for tapestry in body

Happy hooking!
