Draw a grid design and preview it as a two-color mosaic crochet pattern.
Click or drag across cells to toggle between background and foreground color. Each cell represents one stitch.
Mosaic crochet turns a simple grid into a two-color image, one raised or skipped stitch at a time. Because each square on the grid maps directly to a stitch in your project, planning digitally first — before picking up a hook — helps you catch design issues early and count exactly how many squares of each color you'll need. Sketch your idea here, then read the grid row by row as you crochet.
How does mosaic crochet work?
Mosaic crochet uses two colors worked over two-row sets — one color is worked while the other is carried and skipped in places, creating the illusion of an image built from raised or offset stitches, similar to a pixel grid.
Can any grid design become a mosaic crochet pattern?
Most simple, high-contrast designs work well — geometric shapes, letters, and bold icons translate cleanly. Very detailed or curved designs are harder to represent since each cell corresponds to one stitch.
How big should my mosaic crochet grid be?
It depends on the finished project — a coaster might use a 15x15 grid, while a blanket panel could use 40+ squares per side. Start small to test the technique before committing to a large piece.
