Mosaic is a bold, graphic colorwork technique that seems impossibly complex, yet is built on a simple rule: one color per row. In this episode of Exploration Crochet, ReRe traces mosaic’s story from 1970s mosaic knitting into crochet’s evolving toolkit. We’ll highlight the contributions of crochet legend Lily Chin and modern designer Tinna Thórudóttir Thorvaldar. You’ll learn how it moved from experimentation to published instruction, then exploded in popularity through charts, tutorials, and crochet-alongs in the 2010s. We’ll break down the two main types—Inset mosaic (often lighter with fewer ends) and Overlay mosaic (crisp, structured, and famously end-heavy). And lastly, explore why these methods are the ultimate high-payoff project for the modern maker.
