An Overlay Mosaic Crochet Pattern For A Holiday Hanging Decoration

Bring a touch of festive charm to your home with the Twinkling Trees Hanging Decoration crochet pattern.

This elegant decoration is perfect for adding a cozy, handcrafted feel to your holiday decor.

Designed with the intricate Overlay Mosaic Technique, this pattern creates a beautifully textured piece that showcases the twinkling magic of winter trees.

Pattern Overview:

Overlay Mosaic Technique: This technique involves working exclusively on the right side (RS) of the fabric, using only one color per round.

The rounds alternate between two colors (C1 and C2), with detailed instructions provided for color changes and stitch placement.

Stitch Details:

Back Loop Single Crochet (BLSC):** Represented by empty blocks on the chart, these stitches are always worked in the back loop only.

In the pattern, they are simply referred to as single crochet (SC).

Front Loop Double Crochet (FLDC):** Represented by "X" blocks on the chart, these "drop down stitches" are worked into the corresponding stitch from two rounds below, through the front loop only. In the instructions, they are referred to as double crochet (DC).

Construction Details:

Round-by-Round Instructions:** The squares that form the decoration are worked in rounds, beginning from the center and expanding outward. Each round's instructions are provided for one side, which you will repeat four times to complete the round.

Corner stitches are made by chaining 2 (CH 2) between each side's repetition, and in subsequent rounds, these chains are treated as stitches, worked in the back loop only.

Joining and Finishing: After each round, slip stitch (SS) into the back loop only of the first stitch, chain 2, and then remove your hook, leaving the loop to be picked up after the next round.

Detailed instructions are given for fastening off (FO), cutting, and weaving in your ends.

The pattern suggests using the invisible join method for a seamless finish when joining the squares together.

Chart and Customization:

Visual Aid: A detailed chart accompanies the pattern, providing a visual guide to the motif.

The chart includes colored squares to represent the motif design, with empty squares indicating BLSC (SC) and "X" squares indicating FLDC (DC) stitches worked two rounds below.

Final Dimensions: If the recommended hook size and yarn are used, the completed decoration, composed of three squares joined vertically, should measure approximately 27 x 96 cm.

This makes it a perfect size to hang on a door, wall, or in a window.

Whether you're looking to create a stunning addition to your holiday decor or to gift a unique handmade decoration, the Twinkling Trees Hanging Decoration pattern is a beautiful project that celebrates the artistry of crochet.

With its intricate design and festive motif, it's sure to become a cherished part of your seasonal decorations.
