I accidentally drew this.
I was trying to draw a star and at some point my husband looked over my shoulder and pointed out that this and that part looks like the Star Trek insignia.
So, I decided to go with it!
I finished drawing it on purpose lol
The Locked Filet Mesh (LFM) interlocking crochet method uses only chain spaces and double crochets to create a mesh; two colors are worked alternately which creates the pattern.
Mosaic crochet is single crochet and double crochet stitches. The double crochet stitches cover some of the other color’s single crochet stitches to create the design. My patterns instruct you to cut your yarn at the end of each row.
The “20” at the end refers to how many windows you start with when doing the LFM version. It refers to size so I left it even though it doesn’t directly relate to the mosaic pattern. Using my gauge your squares will be about 10″.
If you make a bunch of “-20” squares you can join them easily because you just join stitch for stitch.
You can download it as a nice PDF for FREE (copyrighted and trademarked things can not be sold) on Ravelry.
I figured I might as well put it up here too, just for fun.
Like my other posts that include patterns, the Interlocking (Locked Filet Mesh) pattern is first, and then the Mosaic version.
Please check out my YouTube channel if you need to learn how to do either technique!
RS = right side: the side of your work that will show the finished design
WS = wrong side: the back of your project
Front = the side currently facing you
Back = the side not facing you
Ch = chain
Sp = space
Sk = skip a stitch
SC = single crochet
DC = double crochet
F = DC in front, then CH 1
B = DC behind, then CH 1
ES = DC into the last window space
EF = end stitch in front: using AC, DC into the last AC window, working in front of MC
EB = end stitch in back: using AC, DC into the last AC window, working behind MC
ACF = bring the AC yarn to the side facing you
ACB = put AC yarn to the side facing away from you
