MOSAIC CROCHET for BEGINNERS - Easy and Fast Dishcloth with Basket weave Design

Learn how to do mosaic crochet in this tutorial video for beginners. Hi I'm Donna Wolfe from Naztazia. In this video I show you the basics of mosaic crochet. Mosaic crochet is a derivative of mosaic knitting, which was popularized by Ms. Barbara G. Walker several decades ago. There are several different techniques and this is just one of them.
The basket weave design is created by making a series of stitches, including single crochet, chain twos, and double crochet two rows below. By reading and following along with the chart, you can make this easy dishcloth in 100% cotton yarn. You can also choose to make these blocks in acrylic or another fiber, then sew or crochet them together for a nice blanket.
For this sample I'm using worsted weight yarn and a size G 4 mm crochet hook. Feel free to use a larger hook when you are first practicing.

Thank you so much. I finally understand mosaic crochet, and how to read the charts as well. If I had just watched this video from the beginning, it would have been easier for me.

What is the difference between overlay, tapestry and insert mosaic crochet, please?🙏 Thank you for all your amazing work and sharing skills and knowledge with us🌺💖!

[@naztazia]

I'll have to do a video showing the differences!

[@sweetsue6177]

@@naztazia please if you will! You are a talented artist and teacher also! You have a skill to make things easy understandable. Thank you🌹.

[@MTKKNITS]

For row 9 and 10 the all have dark pink .. so for the blocks without the X do we single crochet ? Or chain up 2 n skip it ?

[@patriciajackson3883]

Beautiful pattern thank you how many chains do I need to make a blanket or can I make a blanket with this pattern 💐💐💐💐

[@naztazia]

I generally recommend making several of these blocks and connect them together to form a blanket.

[@patriciajackson3883]

@@naztazia thank you

[@victoriasmaranda7832]

👏👏👏🌹💝🍀

[@fcgn1908]

So many questions. I've been haunting ravelry and youtube trying to learn more about mosaic crochet. There seem to be at least two different approaches, maybe more? Will you be expanding on this? What about gauge? Should I go down a hook size to keep it tight? I'll try this sample as soon as I finish this baby blanket (3 more rounds). Thank you. - one more question: Why do some patterns have all these cut ends?

[@naztazia]

The method I show in the video is the "easiest" way to do mosaic crochet "for beginners." Depending upon the design, other techniques might be needed to achieve a certain look, including some of the methods you mentioned.

[@stuntracersalman5999]

💜💚❤👌😍🙏👍

[@bonniehess816]

I hope I can do this I'm new to chrochet and it looks hard when you have symbols that mean mutible things on the back side it's a SC on the front it's a DC...🙏 hope I'm understanding this correct..

[@naztazia]

Yes, you are. Each block is ultimately read twice, since each block represents two rows. On the first time reading the block across for the first row, you'll do a DC two rows below on the X blocks. On the second time reading the same block for the next row, you'll do a single crochet. It makes more sense when you actually try it.

[@favourgift7528]

You can do it... Hi am sorry for the introduction in your comment but I find you attractive and interesting I don't know if I could be your friend so we can get to know each other more and thank you

[@valirarabun5343]

Can you send me the pattern. ❤

[@TheKazadoodle]

Open the description box (under the video) and there's a link to the pattern.

[@altheaescovilla-groepler5366]

It's still confusing, you have 2 different explanation with x blocks.

[@naztazia]

Each block is read twice, one time (for example) for Row 5, then the same block is read for Row 6. With blocks that have X's on them, you'll only do the DC on the Row 5. When you go back and read the same blocks for Row 6, you'll just do a single crochet for X blocks.

[@LL-xx4iq]

All those ends 😩

[@naztazia]

What do you mean? Since you are carrying the yarn up the sides, there are only 4 ends to weave in once completed (dark pink start/end and light pink start/end).

[@leeannabrobst7058]

I love your videos but this is not mosaic crochet. Mosaic Crocheted it worked right to left very row there is no turning and no chains in the body of the work.

[@naztazia]

You have not done your homework on Mosaic crochet. Mosaic knitting came about in the 1960s. Since then, crocheters have attempted to mimic the look of Mosaic knitting. There are at least 4 different methods on how one can mimic Mosaic knitting designs by using crochet, both in rounds and in rows. One includes the method I show, one includes what you mention, plus at least 2 more options.

Learning about this is what’s causing me to reignite my love for crochet.
