Product Description
This pattern is for a mosaic crochet square that can be used in other types of projects, such as blankets, pillows, satchel 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”.
You will need 2 colors of yarn - one for the background and one for the Angel. I added red yarn for the candle & gold yarn for the flame & halo, which are stitched in during those rows and only uses 1-2 yds of each color. I added a French knot in gold for the flame of the candle. These optional touches are included in the instructions, however you could just continue using the main 2 colors for these.
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.
Pattern is in US crochet terms.
Winter Fun Mosaic Square – Adorable Angel Crochet Pattern
What Is Being Made
The Winter Fun Mosaic Square is an adorable angel-themed crochet square designed by Cyndie Birdsong. This decorative square project combines mosaic crochet techniques to create an intricate angel design with interesting visual depth and texture. The finished square is suitable for use in table settings, as part of larger blanket projects, or as a standalone decorative piece. The pattern encourages crafters to create and display their finished items while crediting the designer.
Crochet Techniques Used
Mosaic Crochet is the primary technique featured in this pattern. Mosaic crochet is a method that creates visually interesting shapes and textures by strategically using different colored yarns and selective stitch placement. This technique allows crocheters to produce detailed, almost pixelated designs similar to traditional mosaic art. While mosaic crochet can initially seem confusing when reading graph charts, this pattern is specifically designed to make the technique accessible. The designer notes that the pattern works best for crocheters who have some experience recognizing stitches and understanding crochet terminology, making it an intermediate-level project.
Stitches and Stitch Work
The pattern utilizes fundamental crochet stitches executed in a mosaic style to build the angel design. Crocheters will work from graph charts that guide stitch placement and color changes. The mosaic approach requires careful attention to which stitches are worked and which are skipped or carried, creating the layered, dimensional effect characteristic of this technique.
