Do you have a hank of beautiful variegated
yarn wasting away in your yarn stash? If so,
these mosaic patterns are great for any var-
iegated yarn—whether they are pooling on
you or not. Since you are only crocheting
one row at a time, mixing a variegated with
a solid will tone down the variegated while
still letting the stitch pattern shine.
