This is an Overlay Mosaic Crochet Pattern

Spring gardens are so pretty and full of life. The colours and sounds are inviting. They invigorate the soul. Nature at its finest. My Mosaic Spring Garden potholder sets are in celebration of springtime. Each set depicts elements found in a spring garden.

Buzzing Bee & Drooping Daisy is the second set in the series.

There are 4 sets in total.

The first: Mosaic Butterfly & Bluebird can be found here

The pattern does not teach you how to do mosaic crochet, but I included a resource page in the pattern file with links to all the tutorials that I found helpful.

The pattern file includes the option to use the negative stitch which is what I used in order to create a reversible project.

The file also includes the option to not use the technique i.e you will have the flaps on the back of your work as is normally the case with mosaic crochet.

This pattern uses the Chain Start Envelope Border method which eliminates the need for the slip stitch round prior to starting to the border.

Here are all the design details:

Grid Size: 55 sts x 51 rows

Size: (21 cm x 25 cm / 10 in x 8 in)

Yarn Used: Light DK (WPI 11) - 100% Cotton

Yarn Usage:
You will need about 210m in total PER potholder

Buzzing Bee:
Col A - 85 m (93 yds)
Col B - 110 m (121 yds)

Drooping Daisy:
Col A - 78 m (85 yds)
Col B - 125 m (136 yds)

Hook Size: 3.0 mm for mosaic crochet and 2.5 mm for the border

Stitches Used: US Terminology - Chain, Single Crochet, Half Double Crochet (used in the border) and Double Crochet (Drop Down Dc)

Extra Materials Needed: scissors and stitchmarkers

Note that using a thicker yarn and larger hook will result in a bigger project. Similarly, using a thinner yarn and a smaller hook will result in a smaller project.
