Easy Inset Mosaic Crochet Blanket
Did you know that you can create beautiful colorwork without the hassle of tangled yarn, carrying multiple strands, or cutting tails? Inset mosaic crochet is the way to go!
The Bulky Crochet Blanket is designed with simplicity in mind, making it an easy introduction to inset mosaic crochet. This pattern is perfect for beginners and works up incredibly quickly using bulky weight yarn.
Although inset mosaic is typically known to be more challenging than overlay mosaic, this pattern is an easier design than others I have done. If it’s your first time trying inset mosaic, give this pattern a try! You’ll be amazed at how quickly it comes together.
What is the Difference Between Overlay and Inset Mosaic?
I often get asked, “What is the difference between Inset and Overlay Mosaic crochet?” The answer is pretty simple.
In overlay mosaic, you cut the yarn at the end of each row. Then, you start back at the beginning of the row by joining the new color. Each row is worked independently, which means you have more yarn tails to deal with. However, we handle this by doing a double border, which hides the tails without needing to weave them in!
Inset mosaic, on the other hand, is a bit different. You work across the row, and then you turn and work back. While doing this, you crochet single crochets (sc) over the previous row’s mosaic double crochets and single crochets, while working chains over the chain spaces.
Once you get back to the right side of the blanket, you change colors, crocheting over the yarn tails to carry the other color up the side. This eliminates the need to cut the yarn after each row, making it less labor-intensive than overlay mosaic.
Can I Crochet an Overlay Mosaic Design Using The Inset Method?
My preferred mosaic method is the inset method. When you use this technique, the pattern will elongate slightly because you’re working two rows for each design row. So, while you can use inset mosaic for different designs, it may alter the look of the original pattern.
I usually choose the best mosaic method based on the design we’re making. I know many of you love the ease of no tails, just like I do, so I completely understand wanting to make all mosaic projects using the inset method.
