〰️ Big texture, simple stitches, way fewer tails

Mosaic crochet has been a popular trend, and after picking it up, I can see why. Simple, beginner friendly stitches give you a ton of texture and visual interest, using just one color per row.

The Waves Mosaic Crochet Blanket uses the Interlocking Mosaic Technique, working each color for 2 rows so you can carry the yarn up instead of cutting. That means you get to skip all those extra tails.

✨ What makes it work

• One color per row. Easy to follow, big visual payoff.
• Carry, don’t cut. Interlocking mosaic means far fewer ends to weave in.
• Wave texture. Mosaic double crochet builds the rolling wave design.
• You’re not on your own. Video tutorial and written pattern included.
