#25 - Continuous Overlay Mosaic Crochet with NO ENDS!

WHAT? NO ENDS? Yup! You heard me! Learn how to do my revolutionary technique that I call “Continuous” Overlay Mosaic Crochet (or COM for short), where there are virtually NO ENDS to weave in! You’ll learn the secrets for how to do this new Overlay Mosaic Crochet technique including how to begin & finish rows without all those pesky ends, how to make my special stitch: the Anchored double crochet (Adc) to eliminate gaps on the back of your work and where to insert your hook for successful Overlay Mosaic Crochet projects without all those ends!

To calculate the extra yardage you’ll need to make your Overlay Mosaic Crochet projects with my COM technique with NO ENDS, multiply the width of the rows in the pattern by the number of rows in each color. For instance, if the project is 36” wide (1 yard) and the project has a total of 180 rows (90 rows in each of 2 colors), you’ll need an extra 90 yards of each of the 2 colors to make your project with the COM technique. That’s not bad considering the fact that you won’t have all those ends on the left and right edges of your project to deal with!
Note: My 2 new Overlay Mosaic Crochet blanket patterns listed above already include the extra yardage in the materials list, so you won’t need to calculate it for these Mosaic blankets!

This is absolutely genius and a game changer. Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!

[@TheCrochetArchitect]

You're very welcome, Emily! This is one of my favorite Overlay Mosaic Crochet techniques, since it eliminates all those pesky ends and doesn't require a double border. I feel the little bit of extra yarn that's carried across is less than the amount of yarn that would be used in making the double border to hide the ends. Plus it saves the time and frustration of working the double border, too! I hope you enjoy using my COM technique for your large project and for many other Overlay Mosaic Crochet projects. Happy crocheting to you now and always!

It's like overlay and tapestry crochet together! I love carrying yarn like that, because it's so much more secure, & does not show through. I never would've thought to do the first trick you showed with the yarn ball - genius! ...as is the technique you came up with for the anchored double crochet!

[@TheCrochetArchitect]

Yes it is like Tapestry Crochet and Overlay Mosaic Crochet put together! It'll only work when you use my Anchored dc, though. Otherwise the stitches behind regular dc wouldn't cover the carried yarn! I hope you enjoy using this COM technique in your Overlay Mosaic Crochet!

[@AnonymousAmyMakes]

I can see myself using this method for a smaller project. But for a larger blanket or something like that, I think I would end up using more yarn than I'd want by carrying it through each row. Thanks for sharing the idea!

[@TheCrochetArchitect]

You're very welcome! I love sharing what I've learned about crochet to help others! And I love not having all those ends in my Overlay Mosaic Crochet! Yes. This technique uses more yarn. However, if you typically crochet a double border on a blanket, you use more yarn for that. I think this technique would actually use less yarn than a double border does. And as you said, it would be great for smaller projects! I hope you enjoy using this technique for your smaller overlay mosaic crochet projects. Happy crocheting!

[@AnonymousAmyMakes]

@@TheCrochetArchitect I hadn't thought about using the same amount or less yarn than the double border. Great point! ❤️

I wish I had found this video sooner! It would have saved me weeks of work. I was working on a patchwork blanket with several individual mosaics stitches together with the ends hidden on the backside. I thought I'd crochet a back panel to hide all the ends on the back, and once I finished, I realized it would be too heavy and it wouldn't be as functional. I spent so much time trying to figure out what I was going to do and trying to cover up all the ends. Had I known about this, my blanket would have looked so much neater. I'm so excited to try this with future mosaics! Thank you so much for sharing this technique! You are a gem! 💎

[@michellesmith9075]

Hi, love to do mosaic crochet and your videos. I have made a large blanket with one row using numerous colors of left over yarn. I use the overlay method but without having to lay the yarn right across the whole row, I overlay a 4 inch length of yarn at each end and crochet over or weave it in. great way of using up small amounts of yarn.

[@TheCrochetArchitect]

That sounds like a great way to hide your ends, Michelle! Do the right and left edges get elongated with that many ends covered up in the first/last 4 inches and not the center of the rows?

I've never done a double border and I don't plan to ever do one! When you're doing my COM technique, make sure you adjust the carried yarn each time you start a row so it isn't too tight or too loose (NOT being too tight is the most important thing). That's the only time you can adjust the carried yarn. Once you've started that row, you can't adjust it any more. Happy COM crocheting to you!

Now I just need a tutorial for regular mosaic/Aztec crochet (no overlay, no ends)!!!

[@TheCrochetArchitect]

I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to as "Aztec Crochet". Are you talking about an Aztec looking design that is made in the Tapestry Crochet technique? Or one made in Tunisian Crochet with cross stitches on it? Or one made with all sc, changing colors, as necessary, across each row?

[@Robin31716]

This is awesome. Thank You.

[@TheCrochetArchitect]

You're very welcome, Rovilla! Happy crocheting to you!

[@carolscrazycrochetmore5093]

Brilliant absolutely brilliant!!! I really do think I would save yarn using this method instead of doing a double border. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this golden nugget of information. Watching this one video has changed the way I think about mosaic. I can only imagine what else I will learn from you. I just started my first blanket in January. I’m a brand new subscriber so be prepared for some binge watching lol 😂. Hope you have a fabulous day!! 😊💚😊💚

You're very welcome, Carol! Thank you so much for leaving a comment about my COM technique. I'm thankful that I have a KZbin channel where I can share some of my crochet knowledge with others to help more people advance their crochet skills! I hope you learn lots more from my other crochet videos! Binge watch all you want! I agree that the yarn you'd use to work a double border is far more than what you'd use when you carry the yarn across the rows with my COM technique. I hope your Overlay Mosaic Crochet projects turn out wonderfully! You have a fabulous day, as well! By any chance, are you located in the UK?

Amazing method! Started my first mosaic crochet project today and was disappointed in how it was turning out with all the ends. Searched KZbin for an tailless mosaic method and found your video. Luckily I was only 8 rows into my project and could just restart it using your method. Thank you, the difference is huge! I’ll never not do it this way.

[@TheCrochetArchitect]

You're very welcome! I'm glad you found my video so you can eliminate all those ends in your Overlay Mosaic Crochet projects! Happy crocheting to you!
