MY NOTES
This mosaic crochet square uses mostly single crochet. Double crochets are worked into the front loops of stitches a couple of rows down to create this fun effect.
Sizing: As written, my square was turning out a little big, I had planned on omitting the final 2 rounds because of this. Once I put it on my blocking mats, however, I realized I needed to do one more round.
Here’s What I did: I will outline my color changes and any notes I have for each row below.
Note the hook size Tonya used for this square was 5.5mm. I used the 5.5 mm for my square, but I think if I had done the 5mm I would have been able to squeeze in all the rounds. It’s up to you which hook you will use.
Rnd 1-2: Buff
Rnd 3-4: Tea Leaves
Rnd 5-6: Buff
Rnd 7-8: Real Teal
Rnd 9-10: Buff
Rnd 11-12: Tea Leaves
Rnd 13-14: Cafe Latte
Rnd 15-16: Real Teal
Rnd 17-18: Cafe Latte
Rnd 19-20: Tea Leaves – I used just single crochet for both rounds as I thought they would be my last ones.
Rnd 21: Cafe Latte – Final round of just single crochet
Rnd 22: I omitted this round.
Remember though, you are working on YOUR blanket. If you don’t want to change color where I did, then please don’t. My notes and color changes below are not hard and fast rules.
