This year’s large square has butterflies in the corners (see more at https://ashleeslint.com/2022/11/13/ashlees-yearlyblocks/).

You will receive two files:

• One file for the interlocking crochet technique: full written pattern for right- and left-handed crocheters, 1-page and 4-page charts (81 x 81)
• One file for the overlay mosaic crochet technique: full written pattern for right- and left-handed crocheters, 1-page and 4-page x-marked charts (77 x 77)

The Locked Filet Mesh (LFM) interlocking crochet method uses only chain spaces and double crochets to create a mesh; two colors are worked alternately which creates the pattern. YouTube Tutorials

Mosaic crochet uses single crochet and double crochet stitches. The double crochet stitches cover some of the other color’s single crochet stitches to create the design. YouTube Tutorials
