Seamless Mosaic Square Pillow

It looks like four separate squares sewn together. It isn't. This mosaic crochet pillow cover is crocheted as a seamless cylinder — one continuous piece, worked in the round from a foundation chain of 104 stitches, no seams, no squares, no joining. The four-quadrant geometric design is built entirely into the stitch pattern itself. What looks like four distinct panels meeting at a center seam is actually one uninterrupted round of overlay mosaic crochet, row after row, from the first stitch to the last. The cylinder is finished by sewing it flat at the top and bottom. Two completely different pillow designs from the same crocheted tube. The mosaic pattern uses just two stitches — single crochet and double crochet — worked one color per round, alternating colors without ever cutting the yarn. The geometric design develops round by round as the double crochet stitches reach down two rows to pull the second color to the surface. The written pattern includes full row-by-row instructions for all 53 rounds, with each round divided into four 26-stitch blocks (Start, Repeat, End) for easy reading. Eight block patterns are provided — combine them in any order to create your own layout. Part of the Basic Mosaic Collection by Mosaic Loop.
