  • Pros and crontas Overlay Mosaic versus Interlocking Filet crochet

    Pro: Overlay Mosaic You work always at the front Easy colour change within a row More solid look (no netting) Easy to pick up the technique  Easy to crochet from a chart (you see what you do) or written pattern Interlocking Filet No cutting of your yarn Loose look, it needs solid stitches to get rid of the netting Definition of the horizontal lines are clean Photo negative back Uses less yarn and does not need a border Contra: Overlay Mosaic You have to cut your yarn (unless you work in the round) Horizontal lines are less defined Striped back (which I kind of like) Uses more yarn Needs a border or sewing in fringe Ridges at the back Can pull to the left (lefthanded pull to the right) Interlocking Filet You work on both sides so you have to turn your work (unless you work in the round) Loose look or the need for solid stitches to avoid netting The penny needs to drop to master the technique You need to crochet from the written pattern, only very advanced interlockers can crochet from a chart

  • Overlay mosaic crochet, adding a colour in a row

    In a previous blog I showed you how to bring a colour along your work, but in this video I show you how you could change a colour within a row without all those horrible ends to sew in the end. So please sit back with some popcorn and enjoy this professional video made by me :) I really had an off day and made some errors in this clip, but it is a waste not to show you. Happy hooking :P

  • Multiple colours Overlay Mosaic Crochet

    I am working on my ZenTangle Dogs and I choose to do them in multiple colours. I have added the colour change in the written pattern so you do not have to guess where the colour change take place. Here under is how I bring two colours with me in all the B rows (background colours) As you'll see I leave some yarn at the back of my work to pick up in the next row. The result of how I do this is really great and more easy then I would have thought. Here under is how I do the A rows (pattern colour is just one to keep the pattern cohesive) I hope this is helpful and you all give it a try :) Happy Hooking, Anneke
