Argyll Mosaic Crochet Pattern PDF

Hello!

I am so happy to share with you my 3D Argyll Tartan Mosaic crochet design. The inspiration for the design comes from Scottish tartans and golf jumpers. This is a PDF Download that includes written instructions and charts.

This design is a repetitive, overlaying diamond pattern with a shadow 3D effect.

There are so many design options with this pattern! Included in the PDF pattern pack are two sets of written instructions and grids - one for a small size pattern and one for large.

There are also other style options too, such as solid-fill diamonds to add additional depth to your project and make the colours ‘pop’. You can also add a background to make it appear as though the design is overlaid on a solid colour background.

The possibilities are endless, and I cannot wait to see your creations!

The pattern is ideal for a crocheter who is familiar with mosaic crochet, but there are descriptions and pictures within to help those who have never used the technique before. I am on hand to support via the contact information provided in the pattern and on Etsy or Instagram (@ailsacrochet).

Stitches used (US)

Chain
Single Crochet (into back loop)
Double Crochet (into front loop from previous row)
Border stitch at beginning and end of each row.
Gauge is not critical for this project, but slightly tighter stitches will provide a neater finish. US Terminology used.

In terms of materials, the weight and material is up to you. You will need two contrasting colours.

For the projects pictured throughout, I used a 4mm crochet hook and DK (8ply) acrylic yarn.

Materials:

2 yarns (contrasting in colour)
Crochet hook (corresponding to yarn weight)
scissors
darning needle
Yardage or quantity of yarn required entirely depends on what you plan to create. From previous projects using this pattern, approximate usage of DK yarn:

Cushion: 200g colour A (Dark) 100g colour B (Light).
Baby Blanket: 300g of colour A (Dark) 300g of colour B (Light).

I hope you enjoy this pattern!
