The Benny Square

Coaster crochet pattern. Mosaic crochet. Beginner level.

Welcome to this beginner mosaic crochet pattern. If this is your first mosaic crochet pattern let me tell you that you have made a great choice. This is a quick and easy project for all ages that will give you a great taste of what can be achieved with mosaic crochet.

Mosaic crochet is a style of crochet that creates interesting colour patterns by working different colours of yarn down into previous rows to create a pattern. This is often preferred over tapestry crochet because you only work one colour per row, and you don’t have to deal with complicated switching of colours mid-row.

You can use any yarn you like for this pattern. And chose an appropriate hook size to suit the yarn. To create the Benny square I have used a light fingering weight yarn, 100% cotton with a 3 mm hook.

You will need two contrasting coloured yarns for this pattern.
