Zhaukazyn

Zhauqazyn — Mosaic Crochet Ornament Pattern Zhauqazyn is a traditional Kazakh ornamental motif. Items decorated with this pattern have long been included in a bride’s dowry as a talisman — a symbol of well-being, harmony, and wishes for a long and happy family life. This pattern is my interpretation of the Zhauqazyn ornament translated into mosaic crochet. Please note: this is not a step-by-step tutorial for a finished item, but a pattern chart with written instructions describing the ornament itself. The pattern is versatile and can be used for a variety of projects, including: — bags — pillows and cushions — wall hangings and panels — towels — doilies — small blankets and throws — rugs — square motifs The final size of the finished piece depends on: — yarn thickness — hook size — your individual crochet tension
