In 2023 I will have a monthly series of Celtic knot squares! These loops look like hearts to me, and I considered using them for February but it also reminds me of a clover so I figured it could fit in the month of March with St. Patrick’s Day.

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. YouTube Tutorials

Mosaic crochet uses single crochet and double crochet stitches. The double crochet stitches cover some of the other color’s single crochet stitches to create the design.When you work in the round you carry your yarn up the corner so there’s no need to cut it at the end of each round.
