WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OVERLAY AND INSET MOSAIC?

Overlay

Stitches worked into BLO or FLO

Pattern work in one row of each colour without turning

Yarn tied off at the end of each row which created lots of ends

Inset

Stitches worked into full stitch

Pattern worked in 2 rows of each colour turning at the end of row

Yarn is not tied off so there aren’t lot’s of ends and you can ‘float’ up yarn.

MATERIALS

Yarn: In the videos I have used MillaMia Naturally Soft Aran in Stone and Ice. However, as this is a general stitch tutorial any yarn can be used!

Hook: Use the correct hook for your yarn. I have used a 5.5mm

Scissors

Darning Needle

I also recommend you download this file: Mosaic Inset PDF, so that you can join in with the video.

PATTERN NOTES

This technique is worked back and forth working 2 rows of one colour at a time. You do not need to tie off your yarn.

Stitches are worked into the full stitch

You will be creating space for the ‘drop down’ treble by creating a chain space.
