Fijian native prints has inspired me to try and translate their into crochet. I think these ornaments are really similar…
This pattern has options giving you plenty of options for how you put them together (see photos). You can join as many motifs together as you want to create as large a blanket as you want or make a matching cushion cover, bag, coaster…

This pattern contains written instructions and chart for mosaic overlay crochet motif. It’s available in English only.

The chart is created using two different colors. I used unmercerized but strong cotton thread 295 yards per 100 gr. Crochet hook No2.5.
Finished size 30 cm (approx. 12”) square, weight — 82.5 g.

Any yarn and appropriately sized hook can be used to make this pattern but you will get a different size square. Acrylic yarns, cotton or a mixed fiber all will work well.

“Masi Tile” is made in 38 rounds, starting with a magic circle. Tile is crocheted in the round from the center and outward, using mosaic overlay crochet technique. The technique is not difficult, just pay close attention to the stitch placement in the chart. You will need to already be comfortable with the BLOsc / FLOdc technique of mosaic crochet worked from a chart and also foundation single crochet.

Stitches used are (all in US terms): slip stitch, chain stitch, single crochet in back loop only, double crochet in front loop only.
