The final round is just regular single crochet stitches.
Yarn For The Mosaic Crochet Napkin Ring

You can of curse substitute to other yarns & even try experimenting with different weights of yarn and crochet hook to something you have in your yarn stash.
If you change the yarn thickness and crochet hook, consider changing how many rounds you crochet for the base to adjust the overall size of the crochet basket.

How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?
How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?
Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.
It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.
All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.

Techniques Used In The Crochet Pattern
Crocheting in the front and back loop
This means that you will not crochet through the whole stitch as usual. A typical stitch contains two loops. One in the front, nearest you, and another stitch in the back, furthest away from you. One is called the front loop (the one nearest you), the other one the back loop, the one furthest away from you.
For this pattern you will crochet double crochet stitches through the front loop & single crochet stitches (BLsc) through the back loop.
Mosaic Crochet
To crochet this pattern you will use the mosaic crochet technique, following these 3 simple rules:
- You will use color A & color B every other row.
- All single crochet stitches are worked in the back loop.
- All double crochet stitches (long double crochet/ Ldc) are worked 2 rounds below in the front loop & this front loop are always the same color as the one you’re working with.
Read the Mosaic Crochet Chart
To crochet this pattern you can choose to follow the mosaic crochet chart (starting on round 3), following these rules:
- Read from the bottom up, from right to left.
- The yarn color for the round you are going to work are given to the left with letters A and B.
- The colors in the diagram itself shows how it will look, but don’t pay too much attention to it when working each round. Rather…
- Crochet single crochet for each empty box, and long double crochet for each box with an “X”.
