This crochet piece is a mosaic crochet pattern, specifically a two-color overlay mosaic design. It creates intricate geometric patterns with just simple stitches, usually using double crochet (dc) and single crochet (sc).
Here’s a basic guide to make a similar pattern:
🧶 PATTERN OVERVIEW
This is a two-color overlay mosaic crochet pattern featuring interlocking geometric “steps” or “maze” motifs in green and white.
You’ll work each color for two rows, always from the right side (RS) — meaning you cut or carry up the yarn on one side only (no turning work to the back).
✳️ MATERIALS
- Yarn: DK or worsted weight (two contrasting colors)
- Color A: White
- Color B: Dark Green
- Optional: A lighter green accent for variety
- Hook: 4.0 mm (G) or appropriate for your yarn
- Tapestry needle for weaving ends
- Scissors
🧩 STITCHES USED
- ch – chain
- sc – single crochet
- dc – double crochet
- fpsc – front post single crochet (used occasionally to keep edges neat, optional)
- RS only – all rows are worked on the front side.
⚙️ TECHNIQUE SUMMARY
1️⃣ Setup
- With Color A (white), chain a multiple of 16 + 3 (for turning chain).
For a swatch: Ch 35 (32 + 3). - Row 1 (A):
Dc in 4th ch from hook and across.
Cut yarn, fasten off (or carry up the side).
2️⃣ Working Mosaic Rows
Each pair of rows is one color (2 rows with Color A, 2 rows with Color B).
- First row of color: Follow chart (or written instructions) using sc and mosaic dc (long dc into skipped stitches 2 rows below).
- Second row of color: sc in each stitch across (to give height).
🧶 PATTERN REPEAT (example based on your photo)
Let’s define:
- “X” = dc (into stitch two rows below of same color)
- “o” = sc
Each line = one working row.
| Row | Color | Pattern (repeat of 16 stitches) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A | dc across (foundation) |
| 2 | A | o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o |
| 3 | B | o X o X o X o X o X o X o X o X |
| 4 | B | o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o |
| 5 | A | X o X o X o X o X o X o X o X o |
| 6 | A | o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o |
| 7 | B | X X o o X X o o X X o o X X o o |
| 8 | B | o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o |
👉 Repeat Rows 3–8 for the pattern body.
🧵 COLOR CHANGES
- Always keep both yarns attached at one edge.
- When changing colors, pull the new color up from the edge, keeping floats neat.
- You can border the sides later with single crochet stitches to hide floats.
💡 PRO TIPS
- Work loosely! Tight mosaic stitches can distort the pattern.
- Use stitch markers to identify repeats.
- After each color set (2 rows), check alignment — the “steps” should form clear geometric lines.
