#1 Beginners Guide to Mosaic Crochet - The Basics

This is a beginners guide to the Mosaic Crochet Technique, which is a very simple but effective crochet technique with lots of possibilities. This is the first lesson, where I show you all the basics you need to know to then go on and make all kinds of glorious Mosaic Crochet masterpieces! In Mosaic Crochet you only need to know how to work 3 stitches: the chain stitch, single crochet and double crochet, and I show you how to do all of those here. As well as the basic technique behind the wonderful world of Mosaic Crochet! Let the fun begin!

Here is the link to my Ravelry store, where you will find all my patterns:

Okay 😂 ~learning this sitting on a park bench next to a old lady 89 years of age who has been doing crochet from age of 7~ and she has NEVER seen this before ~ so now out comes her hook and wool ~ she’s now learning right beside me!! I have also discovered that she lives close by me ~ so I can go over with my device so we can keep learning together!!

Oh my goodness: a patient Icelandic crocheting lady with an infectious laugh teaching a Dutch Australian a new technique - what a wonderful world

Ciao from Italy.
I stopped by to say Thank you! I'm autistic, and even if I love to learn something new, the process makes me incredibly nervous.
Well, I was 5 minutes in this video and I was already excited, and ready to go.
I finished my sample with joy, and for the very first time I wasn't nervous at all. You're an excellent teacher.
I'm ready for part #2. (And I feel so proud!) Thank you Tinna. From the bottom of my heart!

I showed my husband your videos and he said “Oh wow! This is why you want to learn crochet?” Yep yep.
So he brought me a bag full of different brightly coloured yarn to practice with this week! You’re that much of an inspiration. 😉

“...so the ends are all in the border!”

LITERAL GAMECHANGER, I LOVE IT

Another lifelong crocheter here who’s new to this. You explain things so clearly and you have a lovely voice and personality!

I have been crocheting 58 years. But have never done mosaic. Oh. My. Gosh!!! Tinna, I think you have created a monster. This was the most fun I've had learning a new technique in forever! You were right when you said it's addictive. I'm in your FB group, and have been saving patterns for about six months. I can't wait to get started. Your video was one of the best I've ever seen. You are adorable!! You made me laugh several times. Thank you so much for teaching this senior a new trick!!

I'm very impressed by how you teach. I've been crocheting on and off for 50 years but have never made clothes or mosaic and I'm ready to expand my horizons. You are a great teacher. Thank you

This lady is the most genuinely talented teacher on utube. I am dyspraxic, so I love that she uses a pad to remind you of what row are working. She is the last teacher you will ever need. Fantastic. Big fan.

[gaylatrice]

I know I’ve commented before but I can’t thank you enough for your brilliant idea of the sticky note showing row numbers! Wish everyone on YouTube would catch on to doing this.

[rescueumbrella]

you are so comfortable to listen to. Itfeels as if you're in a room with a friend chatting and enjoying a mutual hobby. I am going to learn Mosaic crochet thanks to you

[terristephens]

I am so happy I found your channel. I have crocheted since I am 8 years old, and now 75 years of age. I have seen mosaic crochet videos on YOUTUBE, but they were not something I thought I could do. It looked too complicated. Your video is the first I have seen that explains in such a way It need not be difficult. My first practice piece was a little wonkier than I thought normal. But I can't wait to practice all the "Beginners Guide to Mosaic Crochet." Thank you ever so much. I promise to practice, practice, practice.

You really ARE a “Crochet Magician”. Your work is stunning!

[madelinetang]

hi Tinna... not only is the mosaic crochet addictive as you mentioned .... your personality is so awesomely infectious ... thank you for sharing your skills ....

[crowsinananunusuallyshin]

When the first part of tutorial is someone standing in front of a _literal wall of wool_, you know you've found a good tutorial. I'm relatively new to knitting & crochet, and have been watching a lot of tutorials, and this was awesome!

[Sassy_Kins]

My word, aren’t you just a breath of fresh air! I could honestly watch and listen to you for hours and hours. Thank you for this amazing first step into the world of mosaics.

Ps. Your energy and laugh is so contagious. Thanks for brightening up my days’ xx

[jillstern]

Excellent explanation of the beginning and end stitches and their use and function. Those stitches are the most confusing to those new to crocheting and often the cause of uneven row ends. You are such a good instructor.

[Cassssssss]

This is some straight up sorcery, and I’m so keen to try it.

[alexisbarratt]

As a left handed crocheter I greatly appreciate you explaining how it can be done left handed aswell.

[melissam]

Almost forget. I absolutely love your idea of "disguising those loose tails" in your double sided closed border edges. Magnificent!!!!❤❤❤
