**Prism Square | Overlay Mosaic Crochet Pattern** Find your flow with **Prism**, a geometric overlay mosaic crochet square built around a repeating angular motif and a satisfying, rhythmic construction. Worked in the round from the center outward, the pattern gradually reveals its symmetrical design as you crochet, creating a relaxing and almost meditative stitching experience.

Final stitch count: 59 stitches per side. **Materials** * Sport weight yarn * Approximately 91 yds (83 m) / 0.88 oz (25 g) of the dark color * Approximately 128 yds (117 m) / 1.23 oz (35 g) of the light color * 3.5 mm (E-4) crochet hook **Gauge** 20 sts × 18 rows = 4 × 4 inches (10 × 10 cm) in overlay mosaic crochet.

The chart is presented as one section of the square, which is repeated four times, together with the corner instructions. * Full row-by-row **written instructions** for crocheters who prefer written patterns instead of charts. * Contact information so you can easily reach me if you have questions or would simply like to share your finished project. **Skill Level:** Easy. Basic familiarity with overlay mosaic crochet is helpful, but the introductory section explains the construction used throughout the pattern. **Language** This pattern is written in **English using US crochet terminology**. **Color Tip** Overlay mosaic crochet relies on contrast to make its geometric designs stand out. For the clearest stitch definition, choose one light and one dark color rather than two shades of similar value. A strong contrast will emphasize the repeating Prism motif, but gradients and unexpected color combinations can create beautiful variations of your own. **Discover More Squares** **Prism** is part of the [**Echo Squares Collection**](https://www.ravelry.com/bundles/echo-squares), a series of geometric 12-inch overlay mosaic crochet squares designed around satisfying repetition, consistent construction, and a relaxing crochet rhythm.
