Great question! If you look at the entire row and start to count those boxes by how they ate marked or not marked you will see the repeat. Then you can identify when you have to do a few stitches before the repeat begins. ROW 3, for example, the row where you do like 9 drop downs and then 3 back loops, the repeat starts with the 9 drop downs ends with the 3rd bk loop sc, you have to do 2 back loop sc before your repeat starts. I'm doing another video to talk about identifying the repeat that might also help if thats not making sense.
Fiber Fox Studios please do the next video as I’m not confident using charts nor what you meant. Appreciate your help and looking forward to learning more about mosaic crochet. Thanks from Australia 🐨🐨🦘🦘
Firstly, I LOVE your accent! I'm Australian, so it sounds cool. Secondly, very well explained. I was so confused trying to figure out a chart, I thought, ah, just RUclips how to read a chart! All over it now! Thankyou!
Thank you! It was clear and easy to follow. I am addicted to Mosaic crochet. Finding patterns hasn't been easy. I have used most of your patterns now. Very excited to here you are planning on showing us how to make them for yourself can't wait!
Going back to this video. Going to make a Trivet for my mom as she LOVED my heart shaped one. Going to try and make some spring flowers... but I think I will end up sticking to the hearts LOL!!
I have been trying to figure out a way to do some flowers that ends up looking like flowers but I keep failing! 🤣 I'm going to have to figure out how to do it in the round granny square style I think to get what's in my head to work out.
Thank you for the good explanation it was very helpful I did look before at some mosaic charts but I couldn’t understand it, this chart is way better to understand 👍
I love watching your videos. Your teaching us how to crochet mosaic is so easy for us to learn. I just started and l've done two. Thank you so much for your videos.
You explained it well. I am just getting into this type of crochet, basically I’m just doing the research first, and this really simplified it for me. Thank you!
I'm so happy!!!!!!!! I found your channel! Because I've always wanted to learn how to crochet the mosaic stitch pattern, thanks to you and the way you teach I've been able to understand how it works, I've started a blanket fingers 🤞I'm doing it right as for what I've learned, thanks again for your patience in teaching in a slow motion so us beginners can learn the pattern as well as understanding what we are crocheting as how to read your patterns, thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Have a bless day!
Aweeee thank you so much!! I am so happy that you are enjoying these and learning how to do this technique!!! Every video I remind myself before I start that someone brand new could be watching so I reealllyyyy try hard to keep it slow and explain each step we are taking. I bet your blanket is already looking beautiful! I would love to see your progress on it! 💜
Hi Courtney. I'm totally new to this method of crochet but even I can definitely see how your charts would be easy to understand. I've seen others on RUclips and you've gone above and beyond in making it easy to understand your charts by adding so much more information than others have done. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to write out your charts with as much added information as you have! Awesome work! You're a really good instructor!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😁😁😁😘😘😘😘thank you so much for your very sweet and thoughtful comment. I really appreciate it more than you will ever know. Kind, beautiful people like you is why I do this 💙💙💙😘😘😘😘🥰
@ Fiber Fox : Could you make more videos on mosiac chart making techniques? I have seen the one which you have already made. Also if you could share you experiences tips and tricks and what inspired you...
I have a few other videos on this in the playlist that you may find helpful. The last video I did is demomonstrating how to take a picture and figure out placement of the drop downs. ruclips.net/video/2DoOh6KyCYQ/видео.html
My “A-HA!” moment finally came at the end with your last explanation-what absolutely did not make sense to me reading this chart is if we are alternating Color A on one row, and then Color B on the next row, why are both rows still identical colors? It wasn’t until you explained that by dropping the stitch down one row the resulting stitch covers up the previous color…such an A-HA for me because nothing made sense from the sheer visual view of the chart. Alas…now perhaps I’ve got that Helen Keller moment…and may at last decide to do a mosaic using a chart. I’m exhausted.😂
Thanks for this explanation although if you could continue explaining the use of charts it would be appreciated as I am new to the use of charts and I’m not quite getting it? Thanks again, from Australia 🐨🐨🦘🦘
Thank you for explaining the charts. I have one question, I'm confused at the very bottom you say chain multiples of 12 plus 4 at the end so if I wanted to continue to make this wider, would I need to add 4 stitches to each multiple of 12?
Thanknyou! No you 9nly add 4 to the very end of your chain. So you chain 12 + 12 + 12 etc until you reach the desired size for your project then you add 4 to the very end.
Awesome tutorial. Its great thanks. My biggest problem was not being able to visualise where to put the x. Think I've got it now. What software or program do you use to write your patterns please?
Thank you! I just use excel or google sheets which is exactly like excel. Lessons coming on how to identify the repeat and how to create your own too. It's just proving to be tricky on how to teach the how to make your own patterns. But I'm going to figure it out and do that video too in the coming weeks.
@@FiberFoxStudios can't wait! I think it made more sense to me when you said "covering up the colour in that row" (so my head now understands a bit better and putting an x on top of what you colour in or cover...) Thanks so much and as I said can't wait! You are doing such an amazing job of teaching us and it really appreciated 😁😁😁😁 my bedtime sweet dreams everyone
I have been looking for ages how to help me to read a pattern when you do a drop down do you pick up at the bottom of the first stitch, or how far do you go down when dream music thank you for helping God bless
If you watch the 3rd row instruction on one of my tutorials you will see what loop to pick up. It's the front loop that we leave when doing a sc on the previous row that is pucked up for the dc. Seeing it is easier than explaining. All my tutorials have timestamps and my channel videos are all organized by playlists. Hope this helps!
Mam, u explain so clearly. Thank you. In some charts we have on one side...left usually...written 1a then 1b...2a and 2b. So what do they mean ? Plz guide. TIA
DrMehjabin Hirani That is a different TYPE of Mosaic Crochet. From what I’ve come to understand, there are at least 2 different techniques for making Mosaic Crochet. The one you’re asking about seems too confusing for me. There are quite a few differences. One is that they work the front and back side of the project...hence 1a ,1b, 2a,2b. Another difference is the yarn is usually carried up the side of the work rather than cutting it. I’m sure there are many more differences but I’m not educated enough to explain each one. I hope this helps!
That's the next video, I'm shooting it tomorrow after work and going to try to have it up by Friday evening. Probably should have mentioned that huh lol
No I have a Samsung tablet that I use or my chrome book. I prefer to use them digital vs printed but lots of people prefer to print so it's really more of a personal preference type thing!
It's always going directly down to the corresponding stitch 2 rows below on all my patterns except for the snowflake. That's the only one with special stitches. Your dc's on even numbered rows will anchor to the evem numbered row below, odd numbered rows anchor to odd numbered row below. Other than knowing the rule of where they go, marking the repeat with a stitch marker will help you to keep track of the repeat as you work and you can refer to your marked repeat when you forget. Hope that helps you.
Based on what other lefties who follow the Mosaic stuff I do as long as the design is symmetrical they can read the chart from left to right or right to left and it works out great either way. Some follow the tutorials only and just work from the left following the repeats in the video and that also works out great for them. .
That should be row counts just done in a different format. There is also another mosaic technique that I do not know how to do...Marly Bird and the Crochet Crowd teach that method. The result of their method is a double sided piece where my method results in one side having the design. The method both of those designers teach involves turning your work and doing chains and skipping stitches. Those charts COULD be for that type but I'm pretty sure you could simply work them in the way that I teach mosaic.
@@stacey3107 hi Stacey - my method doesn't require chaining and skipping. You get a one sided design, the back is striped. I know there is another method that Marly Bird and Crochet Crowd teach that requires you to chain and skip but I can't wrap my head around that method.
@@FiberFoxStudios Decided to try your version. I bought the patterns, why not give it a shot? So far, I like both methods. Still want to learn how to make my own mosaic crochet patterns.
Sometimes you say you have to crochet a few stitches before the repeat starts. Where do I see that on the pattern . Thanks.

The best explanation. Thank you so much

Hi Lesley! Yes I definately will do another follow up videos amd go into the repeat portion and how you can find it. 💜
Fiber Fox Studios fantastic! 😉
Your tutorial is very helpful. I wish the markings on the graph weRe a little bit more clear. Thank you for sharing.
This is so helpful! Thank you! So if I want to enlarge a pattern can I just double the grid size? e.g. 1 = 2, 2=4, etc
I think that could work out just fine to enlarge it but I believe you'd need to add 2 rows at a time so that you keep the color sequence correct.
Thank you for explaining the charts. I have one question, I'm confused at the very bottom you say chain multiples of 12 plus 4 at the end so if I wanted to continue to make this wider, would I need to add 4 stitches to each multiple of 12?
