Mosaic crochet
Two colors, two-row logic.
Inset or overlay, smart-brush enforced, validation built-in. The editor we started with — now sharper.

Three focused editors — mosaic, colorwork, and filet — built around the same grid workflow. Crochet, knit, cross-stitch, or any craft that lives on a grid.

Editors
Three editors. One studio.
Colorwork
A simpler grid, all the colors.
One stitch per cell with any palette you build. Works for tapestry crochet, fair-isle knitting, cross-stitch, beading — anything that lives on a colored grid.
Filet crochet
Open or filled. Mesh your way.
Pure silhouette work — two states, mesh sizes 1 to 3 chains, tiles or stitches grid style.
Features
Everything you need.
Image to pattern
Upload a photo, sprite, or existing chart — the editor auto-sizes the grid to its aspect ratio and extracts a colour-true palette. Tune detail, sharpness, and yarn count to land the result you want.
PDF Export
Print-ready charts tuned to each editor — mosaic exports with overlay/inset stitch logic, colorwork with palette legends and RS/WS direction, filet with mesh-size keys and E/F counted instructions.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Which editor should I start with?
Pick by what you're making. Mosaic crochet if you want the classic two-yarn overlay/inset look; Colorwork if you have a colour chart you want to crochet, knit, cross-stitch, or bead; Filet if you're working open-mesh silhouettes. You can switch modes from the dropdown at the top of the editor — switching clears the current canvas but never touches your saved patterns.
Do I need to know mosaic crochet to use this?
Not really. Mosaicery handles the stitch logic for you — if you can paint cells on a grid you can produce a valid mosaic chart. The exported PDF includes a stitch legend and optional row-by-row word instructions so anyone who knows the basic crochet stitches and can follow the instructions can crochet it.
Can I create inset mosaic crochet patterns?
Yes — and you only have to draw the chart once. The editor's canvas always follows overlay mosaic logic, but the export can re-render the exact same chart as inset on demand. Same artwork, two valid pattern outputs.
What's new in v2?
Two new editors — Colorwork and Filet crochet — sit alongside the original Mosaic editor and share the same mirror, repeat, gauge, and export tooling. The brush goes up to 5 sizes, the grid maxes out at 300 × 300, and word instructions now adapt to whichever editor you're in: mosaic stitch tokens, colorwork colour runs, or filet mesh counts (with an E/F cell-letter alternative).
Is everything really free right now?
Yes. During our launch period every feature is available to everyone at no cost — pattern export, all brush sizes, the gauge calculator, word instructions in PDF, repeat compression. We'll introduce paid tiers later, but anything you create now stays yours.
Can I export my patterns?
Yes — PDF chart export is free for everyone, with optional row-by-row word instructions and combined-repeat shorthand. Each editor exports with logic tuned to its craft: mosaic with overlay/inset stitch glyphs, colorwork with palette legends and RS/WS direction, filet with mesh-size keys and counted instructions.
What grid sizes are supported?
Up to 300 × 300 cells — 90,000 cells of paintable space. More than enough for blanket-scale projects, with smooth zoom and pan at every level.
