Day 12 of the Crochet Society Advent Crochet Along: Overlay Mosaic Technique

Welcome back to day 12 of the Crochet Society Advent Crochet Along! Today, we will be exploring the overlay mosaic technique to enhance our crochet work. Make sure you have colors 11 and 12 handy for this section. Let's dive in!

To start row 1, use color 12 and begin with a standing double crochet in the first stitch. This technique is known as a standing single crochet in the US. Place a stitch marker in the first stitch to keep track.

Next, we will be using the overlay mosaic technique. Join color 12 and repeat the pattern: one raised treble front post around the treble two rows below, followed by five back loop double crochets. Continue repeating this pattern until you have two stitches remaining.

Once you reach the end of row 1, finish off with a raised treble front post around the next stitch and a double crochet in the last stitch. Fasten off color 12 and join color 11 with a standing double crochet in the first stitch of the next row.

In row 2, work a back loop double crochet in each stitch until you have one stitch remaining. Finish off with a normal double crochet in the last stitch for added strength.

Continue alternating between colors 12 and 11, following the overlay mosaic technique, for the subsequent rows. Each row will have its own pattern repeat, so pay close attention to the stitch instructions.

Finally, finish off each row and move on to the next stage until you reach row 7. Remember to share your progress pictures with us using the hashtags #CrochetSociety and #Rosina.
