Calypso Mosaic Crochet placemat / runner

This is a 12 stitch repeat pattern. Overlay mosaic.

I initially designed it as a placemat but it can very easily be made into a table runner or even a cushion cover. I designed it for my lovely ladies in my crochet class, who had never heard of mosaic before.

I have written the pattern as a tutorial, with photos. If you can already crochet but have never tried mosaic crochet, then this is for you. However, those more experienced have also enjoyed this pattern.

There is a written pattern as well as a graph/chart. For newbies, its easier to follow the written pattern but once its clicked, most find the graph easier to follow.

I used a South African yarn called Moya DK. It is 100% cotton. 135m/50g. I used just over 50g in each colour for a placemat. I recommend slightly more yarn to allow for different tensions.
