Winter Mosaics: Personal Work Notes

Winter Mosaics: this pair of leg warmers/boot covers is another new experiment with Mosaic Crochet.

  • used the foundationless sc to begin the piece
  • the pattern block numbers (#nn) are with reference to Barbara Walker’s encyclopaedic library of mosaic knitting patterns “Mosaic Knitting“
  • in this instance, I have used the standard 2 row per sq-row method
  • crocheted in the round
  • the bands at top and bottom are worked after the main piece is complete. Single crochet in the back look to produce a ribbed banding. This band is worked and crocheted to the main piece, row by row (not sewn on later).
