November Knot

Interlocking & Mosaic

I hope this is familiar to you by now. November Knot is our 11th Celtic knot square in the 2023: A Year of Celtic Knots series.

Each Celtic knot design comes with the full written pattern and chart for two techniques: interlocking crochet and overlay mosaic crochet.

Bottom-Up or Center-Out

The interlocking crochet version is done from the bottom-up. 

The mosaic crochet version is done from the center-out so we don’t have to worry about any cut ends!

NEW! Third Option!

In addition to the original interlocking crochet option and center-out overlay mosaic crochet option, I’ve now added a bottom-up overlay mosaic crochet option!

This version of each Celtic knot square will require you to cut your yarn at the end of each row. The fringe that gets created can either be a style feature or hidden in an envelope border. Some people choose to weave in the ends instead.

Or you can use this new file for tunisian mosaic crochet if you don’t want to deal with the cut ends on the sides.

Size

These Celtic knot designs fit in my Large Squares category. Your individual tension and yarn choice will affect the finished size but on average, they are about 20″ square.

Looking forward

This year’s series of Celtic Knots has been so well-received that it’s made me nervous for next year! How can I possibly top these wonderful designs?

I have quite a few ideas, but this year has knocked me for a loop repeatedly and I haven’t yet cemented anything for next year’s series.

Please subscibe to my newsletter to make sure you don’t miss the announcement for 2024’s series of monthly squares!

You’ll also have access to my Doctor Who blanket pattern and I’m always sending out discount codes for new and old designs!

Thank you to my testers!
