Approximate Yarn Requirements — Overlay Mosaic Crochet

The estimates below are approximate and apply to the Overlay Mosaic Crochet version. Actual yarn usage and finished size may vary depending on your yarn choice, hook size, crochet tension, and personal working style.

The calculations include approximately 10% extra yarn as a safety margin. Yarn for an envelope border worked in Color A (light) is also included. All estimates are based on 100 g skeins.

For the most accurate yarn and finished-size calculations, it is recommended to make a personal gauge swatch and follow the step-by-step method described in the Tips & Yarn Estimation PDF included with the mosaic pattern.
