Mosaic Crochet Workshop UK - Esme Crick 

Create sensational throws and accessories with this vibrant guide to mosaic crochet.

Mosaic crochet is a cutting-edge technique that allows you to work two-colour patterns without having to change yarns in one row. Simply skip stitches in one row and connect them by filling in with the alternate colour two rows later. This produces incredible modern geometric patterns that look amazing at throws, afghans, pillows, rugs, bags and more.

In this glorious celebration of colour and yarn, Esme Crick of Red Sparrow Crochet, shows you how to make 12 statement throws and a further 12 spin-off designs for smaller projects, showing how using alternative yarn colours with the same pattern can create completely different results. With full step-by-step guidance on the mosaic stitch, charts for all the mosaic crochet patterns, and 24 projects to make with full written patterns, this stylish modern crochet book will change the way you approach crochet colourwork forever and give you a wealth of beautiful throws and accessories for your home.

This book is available in English (UK terminology).
