I designed this cowl to be a nice introduction to mosaic crochet for anyone who’d like to give it a go before trying a large project like a blanket. The cowl is made in the inset mosaic crochet technique. It is an attractive design of rectangles which are reminiscent of a brick wall. I have made it in both a bright combination of colours and in a more muted, neutral palette. Both versions are look lovely; I hope you will be able to whip one up to keep you cosy.

The pattern includes lots of useful info on how to crochet in the inset mosaic technique and there are several close-up photos to assist you.

This pattern is written in both UK and US crochet terms.
