Crochet Techniques Used

• Back Loop Only (BLO) and Front Loop Only (FLO) stitching: Used to enhance texture and create dimensional effects within the mosaic design
• Color Work: The pattern employs two yarn colors to build the mosaic effect across multiple rows
• Row-based construction: The shawl is worked in rows rather than rounds, with pattern repeats that can be adjusted for custom sizing
