Step-by-Step Instructions

This mosaic crochet shawl is worked in rows from the top center down, increasing at the edges to form a triangle. The mosaic pattern is created by working single crochet and double crochet stitches over two rows, with dropped stitches creating the geometric design. Don't worry if this sounds complex – the step-by-step instructions below will guide you through every stitch.

Foundation Row

With Color A, chain 4. Work 3 double crochet into the 4th chain from hook. Turn. (4 stitches)

Rows 1-4: Establishing the Base

Row 1: Chain 1 (counts as first single crochet), single crochet in same stitch, single crochet in each stitch across, 2 single crochet in last stitch. Turn. (6 stitches)

Row 2: Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet), double crochet in same stitch, double crochet in each stitch across, 2 double crochet in last stitch. Turn. (8 stitches)

Row 4: Chain 3, double crochet in same stitch, double crochet in each stitch across, 2 double crochet in last stitch. Turn. (12 stitches)

Begin Mosaic Pattern

Now we'll start the mosaic pattern. This technique involves working double crochet stitches around the posts of stitches two rows below, creating the beautiful geometric design.

Row 5 (Color B): Chain 1, single crochet in same stitch, *single crochet in next 2 stitches, double crochet in next stitch (working around the post of the stitch two rows below)*, repeat from * to * until 1 stitch remains, single crochet in last stitch, 2 single crochet in last stitch. Turn. (14 stitches)

Row 6 (Color B): Chain 1, single crochet in same stitch, single crochet in each stitch across, 2 single crochet in last stitch. Turn. (16 stitches)

Row 7 (Color A): Chain 1, single crochet in same stitch, *double crochet in next stitch (working around the post of the stitch two rows below), single crochet in next 2 stitches*, repeat from * to * until 1 stitch remains, single crochet in last stitch, 2 single crochet in last stitch. Turn. (18 stitches)

Row 8 (Color A): Chain 1, single crochet in same stitch, single crochet in each stitch across, 2 single crochet in last stitch. Turn. (20 stitches)

Continuing the Color Pattern

Rows 9-10 (Color C): Repeat Rows 5-6, but with Color C.

Rows 11-12 (Color A): Repeat Rows 7-8.

Rows 13-14 (Color D): Repeat Rows 5-6, but with Color D.

Rows 15-16 (Color A): Repeat Rows 7-8.

Continue the Pattern

Alternate between Color B, C, and D for the mosaic rows, with Color A as the base rows between each color change. Continue increasing 2 stitches every row (1 at each edge) until the shawl measures approximately 60 inches across the top edge.

Pro Tip: As you continue, you'll notice the mosaic pattern developing beautifully. The double crochet stitches worked around the posts create raised diamond and zigzag motifs that give this shawl its stunning texture. Keep your tension consistent for the best results.

Final Border

Once your shawl reaches the desired size, it's time to add the finishing touches:

Round 1: With Color D, work a round of single crochet around the entire shawl, working 3 single crochet in each corner. This will create a neat, even edge.

Round 2: Work a round of reverse single crochet (crab stitch) for a finished edge. To work crab stitch, single crochet in the opposite direction (from left to right if you're right-handed). This creates a beautiful twisted rope effect along the edge.

Fasten off and weave in all ends using your yarn needle. Take your time with this step – properly woven ends will ensure your shawl lasts for years to come.
