With a little bit of patience and practice, you'll be a pro in no time!

If you are new to angle stitches, I highly recommend trying them first with this free Heart Mug Rug pattern.  This small 7”x 7” project is a great introduction to my angle notation system and includes my full stitch key.

ABOUT MOSAIC CROCHET
Mosaic crochet uses one color per row to create crisp, graphic imagery — no yarn is carried along the back of the work. This project has the added bonus of working in the round from the bottom up - no ends to weave in!

This tote makes a great companion to my Sea Turtle Blanket!

This pattern is divided into 4 sections (4 pages each) and is worked in the round from the bottom up. I would suggest using the Knit Companion app (my personal preference as it is brilliant and saves on printer ink and paper), but I have also included layout instructions for the charts if you prefer to print out your pages. The written pattern sections correlate with the charts so they can be used together. I have also included a full chart on one page for those who wish to use Knit Companion (or similar technology) without all the page breaks.

Special thanks to Victoria Crouse and Susan Morgan for testing this pattern.
