Should I use Cotton or acrylic sport weight yarn for a Queen+ size, mosaic crochet blanket ?

I'm not used to working with sport weight. For such a large project, am I better off with cotton or acrylic? (I can't afford wool/wool blends)

Does the size of it stretch out a particular type of yarn more than others? warmth? comfort?

Thanks!!

Working on first ever mosaic crochet project

I’m about 1/3 of the way through my first ever big crochet project. It’s taken so long and I’m so proud of my progress but I can’t get over how much I regret the colors I chose for it. I’m really considering starting over with new colors 😭

Beginner Mosaic

So, I am doing my 1st Mosaic project. I finished the body of it, tied and trimmed my ends, and attempted my envelope border and FAILED. I am now starting the body of it over. If I do not want to do a border, and I just want to weave in my ends....would I just take the border stitch out of my stitch count, and just start the body's pattern?

Image import possibility in "Mosaic Crochet Pattern Generator"

Hello dear mosaiccrocheters,

I have built a function into my program with which you can convert an image into a pattern.

https://tnxec2.github.io/mosaic-crochet-pattern-creator/

It is a simple algorithm, so it can require a lot of manual correction for complicated images.

You can find import function in program menu. Here you load an image for import. Then you can play around with some settings to achieve a suitable result.

After accepting the result, you can adjust the color palette and edit the pattern in the main program window.

I have attached a few example images:

  • Original image
  • Import Settings
  • And a result pattern

Finished blanket question

Hi all! I'm about to start my first overlay mosaic crochet blanket and I was wondering at the end do you block it like you would a non-mosiac project?

Tips for attempting my first mosaic design please!!

Hi everybody I hope your weekend is going well. I have a friend who I've been friends with for 37 of my 39 years on planet Earth. That being said she just lost her dad. I have a visual of a mosaic I want to make it's not going to be my design because I'm going to use part of a design that I bought from sixlet an adding some things. I would really love to add a set of wings to this blanket and the fact that it's going to be a blanket I really believe I can do this I just have no idea how to start lol. Please give me any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Anchored Stitches

Good day everyone hoping to get some assistance.

I am very new to mosaic crochet and working on my first big project. For my project I have been using anchored stitches and noticed that the contrasting colour is peaking through on each row.

I did some normal stitches without anchoring and the contrasting colour is less obvious. Has anyone else had the same observation?

Thanks in advance for the feedback and for motivating me through sharing your projects.

Pattern making - which software do you use?

I have a pattern and ideas stewing for more that I'd love to share but every software I've tried either it's far too big, doesn't do the X's or has watermarks when made into a PDF. This hurdle is the only thing stopping me so if someone could let me know, that'd be awesome. I'm starting to suspect that free options are not the way.

Making some progress on another of my Occupational Cats Series. I sort of obsessively drew about 9 different patterns in a couple days, and they are mostly all still in testing. The Philanthropist's Cat is published and this one is The Clairvoyant's Cat- what do you think so far?

Launched my first mosaic crochet patterns! 😊

https://preview.redd.it/h0wdytgynyvd1.jpg?width=1387&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b13e25763c32c94b618a700b06ebfc10c841be03

I just launched my first patterns! 🎉 These are Halloween themed mug rugs, and are made using the overlay mosaic crochet technique, which I absolutely love!

I’ve poured a lot of heart into these designs, and I’m really proud of how they turned out.

Patterns are in US, UK and Dutch terms.

Any feedback or support would mean the world to me 🧡
