2021 October Mystery Pattern
Make a small overlay mosaic crochet coaster with this mystery design! (Originally published in 2021 – the mystery is over now but the design is still cute!) See reveal post here.
Goodbye October
There’s one week left in October. I don’t have a new pattern ready for this month. I haven’t published a new pattern since October 11, when I published all 6 patterns in the eBook More in the Ocean. It feels really weird to have so many days go by between publishing.
Prolific Publishing
Since I started designing patterns 570 days ago, I have published 249 designs to Ravelry which averages to 1 new pattern every 2.3 days. I don’t know if Ravelry includes eBooks in that number (I have 15 eBooks listed). I only have 109 active listings on Etsy – I’ve bundled things when possible to keep fees down and some of the small squares just aren’t available on that platform yet. I’ll keep working on that.
Interlocking Crochet & Overlay Mosaic Crochet Techniques
All my 200+ patterns include written line-by-line instructions for both techniques (interlocking and overlay mosaic) and a chart for each technique as well.
The mosaic charts have X’s (there are still a few patterns that I haven’t updated yet; I’ll keep working on that too). Finished updating them all with x-marked charts!
Free Mosaic Crochet Mystery Pattern
I created a quick mystery pattern and posted it in my Facebook group for free. Thank you to the 100+ comments that have kept it bumped up for everyone to see!
Tonight I will create a new post asking to see everyone’s creations.
It is a very small piece and doesn’t take long to work up.
One self-proclaimed “slow-crocheter” said it only took her 2.5 hours. I think it took me about 45 minutes – but I also had the benefit of knowing what I was making.
This mystery pattern is ONLY for mosaic crochet this time.
I was hoping it would encourage some of you to try something new and it is the more popular technique in the group.
Plus, I really liked the solid look for this pattern so I didn’t want the interlocking mesh dots over the whole piece.
Maybe next time I will get the group to learn solid interlocking sections!
Interlocking Crochet Update
I’m not exactly sure when I created the interlocking version of this little design. I published it to Ravelry in November of 2023 but it’s possible I created the interlocking version a bit sooner than 2 years after the mosaic one was live.
Either way, both techniques are currently available!
