Working on a new sample of my Through the Window Rectangle Shawl using Lion Mandala Ombre paired with Lion Brand Color Theory.
This is one of my favorite stitch patterns and always gets a lot of attention when I'm stitching out and about or on my finished projects, so I thought we'd go through it.
This is inset mosaic crochet versus offset mosaic crochet, and the little window stitch pattern I always lean into is just one way to use inset mosaic crochet.
🩷 Start with a chain that is a multiple of 4 + 3 so something like 12 + 3 = chain 15
💚 Single Crochet (US SC) into the 2nd chain and each chain across.
🩷 You'll end up with a number that is a multiple of 4 + 2. In our same example, 15 chains would equal 14 stitches.
💚 Row 2: Chain 1, turn. SC into the 1st stitch and each stitch across, switching to your coordinating color in the last yarn over of the last stitch.
🩷 Row 3: Chain 1, turn. SC into each of the 1st 2 stitches, (chain 2, skip each of the next 2 stitches, SC into each of the next 2 stitches) across.
💚 Row 4: Chain 1, turn. SC into each of the 1st 2 stitches, (chain 2, skip the chain space, SC into each of the next 2 stitches) across.
