Create sensational crochet throws and accessories with this
indispensable guide to mosaic crochet. Mosaic crochet is a
cutting-edge technique that allows you to work two-colour patterns
without having to change yarns in one row. You simply skip stitches
in one row and connect them by filling in with the alternate colour
two rows later. This produces incredible modern geometric patterns
that look amazing as throws, blankets, afghans, pillows, rugs, bags
and other accessories - using a much easier method than other
crochet colourwork techniques. One crochet hook and two balls of
yarn are all you need to get started. While it might look complex,
mosaic crochet is actually incredibly straightforward once you
learn the basic techniques. If you can work a chain, a double
crochet (US single crochet) and a treble crochet (US double
crochet), then you can mosaic crochet (...and if you can't, don't
worry, all the stitches you need are covered in the book). And
what's even better is that there are minimal ends to sew in because
it works on a two-row method with the yarn carried up the side of
the work. In the only book on the subject, crochet designer Esme
Crick of Red Sparrow Crochet, shows you how to make 12 bold,
statement throws and then how to use the same pattern to create a
further 12 spin-off designs for smaller projects, showing how using
different yarn colours with the same pattern can create completely
different results. In Mosaic Crochet Workshop, Esme shares her
skills, passion and gentle humour with you, so that you too can
create beautiful throws and stylish homewares whatever your crochet
level. And it's not just about slavishly following a pattern, but
about building your confidence to make these designs your own,
exploring the possibilities of colour and being inspired to start
your own design adventures along the way. With full step-by-step
guidance on the mosaic stitch, charts for all the mosaic crochet
patterns, and 24 projects to make with full written patterns, this
stylish modern crochet book will change the way you approach
crochet colourwork forever and give you a wealth of beautiful
throws and accessories for your home.

I've been visiting this book since it was released last year and now that it's in my hands I admit that I'm a little disappointed.
While the format and layout are pleasing, the projects themselves are a little disappointing. Of the twelve I will probably only make the one for sure.
The instructions for how to do the mosaic crochet technique are clearly written and illustrated though, so the "workshop" part is definitely achieved. If you've never done mosaic crochet before this book is a good way to learn.
