‘Mosaic crochet’ with Kelly Ferguson

Leader: Kelly Ferguson

Experience: Basic crochet skills
Summary: Mosaic crochet is a technique that uses two or more colours of yarn to create intricate colorwork patterns. We will be learning the overlay technique which involves working on the front only and changing colours every row creating a textured look.

During the workshop we will be learning the difference between overlay and inset mosaic crochet, how to create designs using the overlay mosaic crochet technique and how to read mosaic crochet charts.

There will be an option of two charts to follow and we will produce a panel of mosaic crochet.

If time allows, we will look at how to create an envelope border to encase those multitude of ends and avoid the dreaded sewing in.
