Winter Fun Mosaic Square - Candy Cane

This pattern is for a mosaic crochet square that can be used in other types of projects, such as blankets, pillows, satchel bags, table mats, etc.

Any yarn or hook will work, depending on the desired size of the finished square. I used yarn weight of 4 with a 5.5 hook, which creates a square of 13.5” x 13”.

You will need 2-3 colors of yarn - one for the background and one-2 for the Candy Cane. Because I used a green background & wanted a cream color in the Candy Cane, I used 3 colors total, but you could use cream or white for the background & red for the other color, or vice versa.

This is a great way to use up scraps! For projects using 2 colors, (one for the background & one for the featured design), you will need approximately 2 oz of each color for a worsted or aran (wt 4) type of yarn. If you want a 3rd color for the candy cane, you'd need another 1 oz or so.

Pattern is in US crochet terms.
