#53 - Alternate Spike SC Mosaic Crochet technique

Here's another fascinating reversible mosaic crochet technique for you! Learn to work the Spike SC Stitch in this reversible style of Mosaic Crochet. With this style of Spike SC Mosaic Crochet, one side is predominantly light-colored and the other side is predominantly dark-colored. This technique can be worked in my COM technique, carrying the yarn across from the end of the row to the beginning of the next row, eliminating the ends (I demonstrate using this technique in the video). Or it can be worked in the traditional style of Mosaic Crochet with starting and ending each row, leaving tails at both ends of each row (to cover with a double border, weave in or turn into fringe).

You're very welcome! I'm glad you like the video and technique! Happy crocheting to you!

[@therealnancysteele]

That was very helpful. Thanks! Now that I understand it better I'll give it a try. I'm getting ready to start my retirement gift to me (Sophie's Universe). Think I'll make a couple of the Valentine's pot holders first. Very cute!

[@TheCrochetArchitect]

You're very welcome, Nancy! It's a fun technique! Enjoy your retirement and working on your Sophie's Universe! It looks like a fabulous pattern! Happy crocheting!

Love your videos! You are such a great teacher! Do you have any videos or patterns on making any of these designs into a hat? For instance do you have any thermal patterns or mosaic patterns that could be incorporated into a hat? Thanks so much!

[@TheCrochetArchitect]

Thank you so much, Heather! I enjoy teaching and designing! Unfortunately, I don't have any videos or patterns for making any thermal stitch or mosaic patterns into a hat. I just did a quick search on KZbin and MJ's Off the Hook Designs has several videos for making mosaic crochet hats. They look absolutely fabulous! Here's one of her hat videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmayY2SHjJt7apY. Happy crocheting to you now and always!

Hei Susan, your technique is wonderful! I have to say, I hate endings😅 Can I ask, if you could teach how to make somekind of cross pattern? I have my Bible cover on the way and I found you, but i don't get it, how to make this to a cross pattern... I'm not a pro in crocheting at all...🤷🏻‍♀️ Or if you can tell me, how to "mold" this to a cross? I'd truly appreciate it😅 Thank you and greetings from Finland🙋‍♀️🇫🇮

[@TheCrochetArchitect]

Hi Mairka! You're very welcome! What kind of cross pattern are you seeking? Would it be a hot pad, like these, or something else, like a cross bookmark for your Bible? Happy crocheting!

[@deborahlarimer9124]

[@TheCrochetArchitect]

Thank you, Deborah! I hope you enjoy using this technique for a mosaic crochet project soon. Happy crocheting to you!

Hi again, how do I do if i want make a blanket ? how to repeat?what part i repeat what part is the begin and the end? my difficult is repeat for a blanket of scarf or something else... its hard to understand what part repeat and what part is the begin and the end. Could you explain to me please?thank you very very much

[@TheCrochetArchitect]

Silvia, What stitches and rows to repeat depends on the pattern or design. Some patterns have a very short repeat of only 4-8 stitches/rows and others have a long repeat of over 20 stitches/rows (and some patterns have no repeat). My Mosaic Crochet patterns have written instructions and a chart to follow. The written patterns and charts include which stitches and rows are repeated (except for small projects like hot pads). The Chain Links Scarf pattern that I show at the beginning of this video includes how to make the scarf longer, shorter, wider or narrower by working more or less repeats in width and height. I'm sorry that I didn't show what to repeat in this video. I was just demonstrating the technique for this Alternate Spike SC Mosaic Crochet technique. In most of my mosaic crochet videos, I'm demonstrating the technique. In many of them, I include a free download for the swatch chart to practice the technique (the free chart download is available on my website with the link to the free download in the video description). In 2 of my mosaic crochet videos (#39: Spike DC and #45: Spike SC), the free chart download includes which rows and stitches are repeated to make into a project. I hope this information helps. Happy crocheting to you!

Hi, please do you have free download of this or another mosaic crochet??thank you very very much

[@TheCrochetArchitect]

Hi Silvia. Welcome to my KZbin channel. I have 6 free downloads for various mosaic crochet techniques on my website here: thecrochetarchitect.com/patterns/free-patterns/. All of these downloads are for swatches (practice pieces), not finished projects. But you can learn the various mosaic crochet techniques by working these swatches and watching each video associated with each swatch. Here's the full playlist of my mosaic crochet videos: kzbin.info/aero/PLvrXmMW8WECMkWvZj85aGmtdWVpp3nRrO. Happy mosaic crocheting to you!
