Whether you're making a baby blanket, scarf, shawl, or home decor item like placemats, table runners, cushions, rugs, and more, this pattern will bring a beautiful finish to your creations.

You can also change color B again on line 18 for further variation. The author of the pattern demonstrates the use of tapestry crochet with Mosaic Crochet to create a seamless color transition.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crafter, this pattern is a fun and creative way to enhance your creations.
How the Staggered Hearts Pattern Works
The Staggered Hearts pattern is based on repeating rows where hearts are strategically placed in a staggered formation. The design is built row by row, and the hearts appear as you crochet with the contrasting colors. The use of overlay stitches creates the mosaic effect, making each heart stand out clearly against the background.
Basic Stitches Used
- Single Crochet (SC): The foundation of mosaic crochet, used to create a solid background.
- Double Crochet (DC): Worked over previous rows to form the heart shapes, giving the design its signature look.
- Overlay Stitches: These stitches are used to add the heart details without carrying the yarn across the back, keeping the design neat and tidy.
