Looking for a colorful and unique crochet project? Look no further than the Rainbow Hugs Mosaic Blanket! This beautiful blanket features a fun and modern mosaic pattern, with bold pops of color that will brighten up any room in your home.
What is Mosaic Crochet?
Mosaic crochet is a technique that creates the illusion of complex colorwork using simple stitches. Instead of working with multiple strands of yarn at once, you work with only one color per row, using slip stitches to create a mosaic pattern. This technique is easy to learn and perfect for beginners looking to experiment with colorwork without the hassle of changing colors.

Worsted weight yarn in seven different colors (or colors of your choice)
