  • WHAT? NO ENDS? Yup! You heard me! Learn how to do my revolutionary technique that I call “Continuous” Overlay Mosaic Crochet (or COM for short), where there are virtually NO ENDS to weave in! You’ll learn the secrets for how to do this new Overlay Mosaic Crochet technique including how to begin & finish rows without all those pesky ends, how to make my special stitch: the Anchored double crochet (Adc) to eliminate gaps on the back of your work and where to insert your hook for successful Overlay Mosaic Crochet projects without all those ends!

    To calculate the extra yardage you’ll need to make your Overlay Mosaic Crochet projects with my COM technique with NO ENDS, multiply the width of the rows in the pattern by the number of rows in each color. For instance, if the project is 36” wide (1 yard) and the project has a total of 180 rows (90 rows in each of 2 colors), you’ll need an extra 90 yards of each of the 2 colors to make your project with the COM technique. That’s not bad considering the fact that you won’t have all those ends on the left and right edges of your project to deal with!
    Note: My 2 new Overlay Mosaic Crochet blanket patterns listed above already include the extra yardage in the materials list, so you won’t need to calculate it for these Mosaic blankets!

    It's like overlay and tapestry crochet together! I love carrying yarn like that, because it's so much more secure, & does not show through. I never would've thought to do the first trick you showed with the yarn ball - genius! ...as is the technique you came up with for the anchored double crochet!

    • @TheCrochetArchitect
      @TheCrochetArchitect  3 роки тому +3

      Yes it is like Tapestry Crochet and Overlay Mosaic Crochet put together! It'll only work when you use my Anchored dc, though. Otherwise the stitches behind regular dc wouldn't cover the carried yarn! I hope you enjoy using this COM technique in your Overlay Mosaic Crochet!

    the way I JUST finished the body of a really complicated mosaic crochet blanket.... its the first time ive ever done this technique and this video popped up in auto play. AS I SIT HERE WORKING THE DOUBLE BOARDER HATING EVERY MIINUTE OF IT lol

    • @TheCrochetArchitect
      @TheCrochetArchitect  11 днів тому

      I feel your pain! I'm sorry that you didn't find my video sooner. But now that you've learned my COM technique (with the use of the anchored double crochet stitch), you can use it on all the other overlay mosaic crochet blankets that you make from here on out! I've never done a double border and I don't plan to ever do one! When you're doing my COM technique, make sure you adjust the carried yarn each time you start a row so it isn't too tight or too loose (NOT being too tight is the most important thing). That's the only time you can adjust the carried yarn. Once you've started that row, you can't adjust it any more. Happy COM crocheting to you!

  • @AnonymousAmyMakes
    @AnonymousAmyMakes 3 роки тому +35

    I can see myself using this method for a smaller project. But for a larger blanket or something like that, I think I would end up using more yarn than I'd want by carrying it through each row. Thanks for sharing the idea!

    • @TheCrochetArchitect
      @TheCrochetArchitect  3 роки тому +26

      You're very welcome! I love sharing what I've learned about crochet to help others! And I love not having all those ends in my Overlay Mosaic Crochet!
      Yes. This technique uses more yarn. However, if you typically crochet a double border on a blanket, you use more yarn for that. I think this technique would actually use less yarn than a double border does. And as you said, it would be great for smaller projects!
      I hope you enjoy using this technique for your smaller overlay mosaic crochet projects. Happy crocheting!

      I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to as "Aztec Crochet". Are you talking about an Aztec looking design that is made in the Tapestry Crochet technique? Or one made in Tunisian Crochet with cross stitches on it? Or one made with all sc, changing colors, as necessary, across each row?

    I wish I had found this video sooner! It would have saved me weeks of work. I was working on a patchwork blanket with several individual mosaics stitches together with the ends hidden on the backside. I thought I'd crochet a back panel to hide all the ends on the back, and once I finished, I realized it would be too heavy and it wouldn't be as functional. I spent so much time trying to figure out what I was going to do and trying to cover up all the ends. Had I known about this, my blanket would have looked so much neater. I'm so excited to try this with future mosaics! Thank you so much for sharing this technique! You are a gem! 💎

    Hi, love to do mosaic crochet and your videos. I have made a large blanket with one row using numerous colors of left over yarn. I use the overlay method but without having to lay the yarn right across the whole row, I overlay a 4 inch length of yarn at each end and crochet over or weave it in. great way of using up small amounts of yarn.

    • @TheCrochetArchitect
      @TheCrochetArchitect  3 роки тому +1

      That sounds like a great way to hide your ends, Michelle! Do the right and left edges get elongated with that many ends covered up in the first/last 4 inches and not the center of the rows?
