(Formerly “Animal Eyes” series, renamed to “Wild Heart”)
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 tan & cream for the background, black for the spots & outlines, and a small amount of brown for the eyes. You could 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 2 colors, (one for the background & one for the featured design), you will need approximately 2 oz of each color for a worsted or aran (wt 4) type of yarn.

Pattern is in US crochet terms.
