Still experimenting with endless mosaic crochet (no ends) and it’s defintely getting better but my edges are tapering/too tight which I need to work on.

I really like the idea of overlay mosaic but there’s no way I can do it the traditional way with a ton of ends to weave in at the end

Any tips #crochet friends?

@Sobtanian theres no way to get past the weaving in the ends unless you float the yarn back across with each row and that would require A LOT of yarn.

there is a way to hide the ends using an icord but im not too certain how to do that exactly. some of the people in my knitting group are doing the seashell sweater and it uses that method since theres like almost an infinite number of end pieces

@emily_rugburn there is a way without floating the harn, which is what I used here and what im practicing.

Essentially, instead of cutting you work every other two rows backwards and on the opposite side (sc in front loop rather than back; dc into the back side of the work as you’re holding it wrong side forward)

This swatch you see is made like that. Only two ends to weave in.

Here’s a video explaining this way better than I just did: https://youtu.be/6sizmhaxbYI

@Sobtanian so it may be a good idea to try this with this pattern because martin up north makes his blankets so that theyre reversible

i think it'll just take practice not getting ends all bunched up. i still have this problem when using a loom
