I have always loved Captain Janeway the most, but I never thought I was cool enough to be a real “Trekkie” silly, right?!

You will receive the pattern written for two techniques: interlocking and mosaic. A single page chart (41 x 41) is included in the file.

The “20” at the end of the title refers to how many windows you begin with when using the interlocking technique. It refers to size in a roundabout way so I have left it even though the pattern is also here in Mosaic form.

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.
