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 at least 2 colors of yarn - one for the background and one for the Phoenix. I used a variegated yarn for my background and a solid color for the phoenix. You could also use different colors for one or the other, doing a stripe or gradient.

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.
