Knitters have long enjoyed mosaic knitting, a colorful technique that uses slipped stitches to give the appearance of knitting with many colors on one row. Now Chin has adapted this mosaic technique to crochet, using it to great advantage here in designs for sumptuous afghans, throws, and even a few garments. The interlocking color patterns of mosaic crochet result from the "dropping" of long double crochet stitches from one row to another row below, giving the appearance of colored tiles. The "magic" of Chin's approach is that her designs combine mosaic crochet techniques with simple single crochet stitches and bulky yarns so that with this book even the beginning crocheter can quickly complete a throw with that popular designer look. Recommended for public libraries.
