Beautiful Birds Mosaic square - Peaceful Dove

This pattern is for an overlay mosaic crochet square that can be used in other types of projects, such as blankets, pillows, satchel bags, table mats, wall hangings, 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”.

You will need at least 2 colors of yarn - one for the background and one for the Dove. The sample has a green sprig in the dove's mouth which is stitched during the A row.

This is a great way to use up scraps! For projects using 2 colors, (one for the background & one for the featured design), you will need approximately 2 oz of each color for a worsted or aran (wt 4) type of yarn. If adding green, you only need a few yards.

Pattern is in US crochet terms.
