This was originally a BONUS SQUARE in Ashlee’s 2020 Mother’s Day CAL. I have since updated it to include three versions of the pattern: interlocking crochet, mosaic crochet (based on the interlocking chart), and adjusted mosaic crochet (where the mesh dots and extra border lines have been removed).

You will receive three files

  • interlocking crochet: fully written pattern, a one-page chart (81 x 81), a multi-page chart
  • overlay mosaic crochet: fully written pattern, a multi-page chart marked with X’s for mosaic crochet (81 x 81)
  • ADJUSTED, solid overlay mosaic crochet: fully written pattern, a multi-page chart marked with X’s for mosaic crochet (79 x 79)

Mosaic patterns include instructions for an envelope border and how to read an X-marked chart.

The Locked Filet Mesh (LFM) interlocking crochet method uses only chain spaces and double crochets to create a mesh; two colors are worked alternately which creates the pattern.

Mosaic crochet is single crochet and double crochet stitches. The double crochet stitches cover some of the other color’s single crochet stitches to create the design. My patterns instruct you to cut your yarn at the end of each row. The back is striped but often gives a faint impression of the pattern on the front (sort of like illusion knitting). See an example here.
