Mosaic crochet uses one color per row to create crisp, graphic lettering and imagery — no yarn is carried along the back of the work.

This pattern is divided into 5 sections (5 pages each) and is worked from the bottom up. I would suggest using the Knit Companion app (my personal preference as it is brilliant and saves on printer ink and paper), but I have also included layout instructions for the charts if you prefer to print out your pages. The written pattern sections correlate with the charts so they can be used together. I have also included a full chart on one page for those who wish to use Knit Companion (or similar technology) without all the page breaks.

Special thanks to Rebecca Sinfield, Kathy Gleich, and Amy Cook for testing this pattern!
