This is an Overlay Mosaic Crochet Pattern

Fluttering Butterfly and Bluebird is a set of potholders which is the first set in a series of crochet potholders entitled, Mosaic Spring Garden. Each set depicts elements found in a spring garden.

This set features a butterfly fluttering around with a cute blue bird for company.

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

Butterfly:
Col A - 85 m (93 yds)
Col B - 125 m (136 yds)

Bluebird:
Col A - 88 m (96 yds)
Col B - 110 m (120 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.
