The pattern PAINTED MOSAIC STORIES has been created using a two-sided overlay mosaic crochet technique which creates the pattern on both sides. I came up with this technique idea back in 2022 and this is my third pattern using this technique. The previous ones are: NO RIGHT OR WRONG & TWO-SIDED MOSAIC ZIGZAG.
Using this pattern, you can create a project as large as you want by working as many repeats as you want in width and/or in height. It’s ideal for the projects where you want both sides to be perfect! The design on both sides is identical.
