A warm, easy, oversize top in CMC: It is winter, I am feeling fat but cold. I wanted an easy to put on top/vest that I can wear anywhere. Something that would hide my fatty bits while hopefully, look a bit flattering. All I can say is that I was so pleased with this pattern that (so far), I have made three 😀
Chinese Box Top is made for charm and comfort with a dash of stylised Chinese characters. This was made using the Clean Mosaic Crochet method, featuring a loose, comfortable shaping that I really appreciate.
Cats Pocket Scarf is my first full project use of my Clean Mosaic Crochet (CMC) technique. And I think the test run turned out ok. While the pocket scarf is scheduled to fly off to USA, I will be offering the cats graph as a FREE graphed pattern.
This is a collection of users feedback and comments to the Clean Mosaic Crochet tutorial. I have moved hosting platform since I first published the tutorial and this was the only way that I could retain the many comments and feedback to the CMC Tutorial.
I apologize to all the people who originally left comments that there was no other way to transport your comments over to this platform. And I apologize to everyone that I have disabled comments on this platform due to time constraints.
I call this the Clean Mosaic Crochet method because it is truly clean in a number of important ways. We do away with the pesky cut yarns at the end of every row that is typical in the overlay mosaic crochet method. We do away with the boring second row in the 2-row Chain-Space MC method (also known in places as the Inset method). And as a added bonus, we can have a clean border edging: you won’t see the yarns being caught and brought up along the edges.
This follows on from the Clean Mosaic Crochet (CMC) Tutorial. These advanced tips for CMC should, hopefully, help you enjoy the CMC technique more.
