Lily Chin's Mosaic Magic Afghans Made Easy

Lily Chin, the high-energy, in-demand designer twice named the "Fastest Crocheter in the World," shares her surprisingly simple technique for crocheting intricate color patterns. Mosaic crochet starts with rows of simple single crochet stitches, working with one color on a row at a time. The interlocking color patterns come from "dropping" long double crochet stitches from the working row to another row below.


This softcover perfect-bound book presents 40 afghans to fit a host of decors and 9 other projects (stole and hat, tea cozy and place mat, rug and pillow, women's vest and jacket, and men's pullover). Pattern stitch multiples are given for each design so that crocheters can also use the patterns to develop their own projects.
