Product Description
This pattern is for an overlay mosaic crochet square that can be used in other types of projects, such as blankets, pillows, tote bags, table mats, etc.
Any yarn or hook will work, depending on the desired size of the finished square. I used yarn weight of 4 with a 5.5 hook, which creates a square of 13.5” x 13”.
To do the sample image, you will need around .5 oz or less of each color of medium weight yarn, (25 yards, give or take). This is a great way to use up scraps! The finished sample square weighs just under 4 oz.
Pattern is in US crochet terms.
Awesome Ocean Mosaic Square: Light House by Cyndie Birdsong
What Is Being Made
The Awesome Ocean Mosaic Square: Light House is a crochet cushion square designed as part of the Awesome Ocean Series. This intermediate-level project creates a decorative mosaic square featuring a lighthouse motif with an ocean theme. The finished piece is suitable for use as a cushion cover or as part of a larger crochet project combining multiple mosaic squares from the series.
Craft and Technique
This pattern uses mosaic crochet, a specialized technique that creates interesting shapes and textures through strategic color placement and stitch selection. Mosaic crochet is designed to produce visually striking geometric patterns and images while remaining accessible to intermediate crocheters who have experience recognizing stitches and understanding crochet terminology.
The mosaic crochet technique relies on a limited stitch palette to create clean, defined patterns. The method involves working with graph charts that guide stitch placement, allowing crafters to build detailed designs like the lighthouse motif. While graph charts can initially seem challenging to read, this pattern includes guidance to help crocheters understand and execute the design accurately.
Stitches and Materials
This pattern is worked in crochet using aran and worsted weight yarns. The specific stitches used in mosaic crochet are kept intentionally simple to create the characteristic mosaic effect while maintaining clarity in the final design.
Crafters will need a crochet hook appropriate for their chosen yarn weight (aran or worsted) and yarn in colors that coordinate with the ocean and lighthouse theme to complete this project.
