How Mosaic Crochet Works

Mosaic crochet creates stunning patterns by working alternating rows of two yarn colors. Each row uses only one color at a time, making it easier than traditional colorwork.

The textured pattern is formed when front loop double crochet stitches cover stitches from previous rows, creating a layered geometric effect.

Foundation Row (Starting the Rug)

Begin your rug by creating a foundation chain.

Foundation Row

  • With yarn A, chain 88 stitches
  • This follows the formula multiple of 28 + 4 for larger widths

Then work single crochet in the second chain from the hook and across the row to create the base.

Tip: Crochet into the back bump of the chain for a cleaner edge.

Creating the Mosaic Crochet Pattern

The pattern begins on Row 2 using the second yarn color.

Row 2

  • Join yarn B
  • Chain 1 and make 1 single crochet in the same stitch (border stitch)
  • Work back loop single crochet across the row
  • Finish with a standard single crochet and cut the yarn

From Row 3 onward, follow the mosaic chart or written instructions to build the geometric design.

Rug Sizes You Can Make

This pattern allows you to create different rug sizes depending on your space.

Finished Sizes

  • Bath Rug — 75 × 52 cm
  • Small Area Rug — 97 × 75 cm
  • Medium Area Rug — 119 × 97 cm

You can extend the rug by repeating rows until you reach your desired length.
