Locked Filet Mesh (LFM) crochet is an interlocking technique using only {US terminology} Double Crochet (DC) and Chain spaces to create an intricate pattern.

Mosaic crochet uses 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 back is striped but often gives a faint impression of the pattern on the front (sort of like illusion knitting).

Depending on how your color-changing yarn looks, you may wish to start with the LONG bottom edge or the short SIDE edge. You will receive written line by line instructions and a chart spread across multiple pages for BOTH options.

**Now also includes a chart marked with X's for mosaic crochet**
