Start crocheting
Work the second row of each moss stitch
section in BLO, resulting in a row of very
minimalistic lace. The shawl is worked
back and forth in rows on Moss Stitch
sections, and always with the RS facing for
Mosaic Crochet sections (right to left, or
left to right for left-handed crocheters). At
the end of every Mosaic row you will need
to fasten off.
Mosaic crochet is worked in
this pattern in the following
way; dc stitches are worked
in the BLO, tr stitches
are worked in FLO in the
corresponding stitch in the
row below the one you
would normally crochet
into. Mosaic crochet is
worked this way with RS
facing, the pattern only
appears on RS and the WS
it striped. RtrF stitches are
always worked around the
tr from a previous row.
