Tips

This crochet pin cushion pattern is worked in rounds. You will work on the Right Side of the pattern only.
This pattern is made using mosaic crochet techniques. For this pattern you will work all SC’s in the back loop of the ST – except the corners ST you will make in the Ch.
When connecting a round – cut the yarn and use invisible join. Hide yarn tails on the back of the work.
The chart shows only one side of the pattern. You can easily read it by starting in the middle point, working on the Left Side first and then continue the Right Side of the same row.
In mosaic crochet, you make DC’s in the FRONT LOOP of the stitch two rounds down. If you make DC in Round 3, you will use the FRONT LOOP of the ST under it in Round 1. You will always skip a ST on a working round with DC’s.
In this pattern, you always make the first ST of the round in the attachment ST.
