One of the things that separates a good mosaic overlay design from a great one is how the image reads from a distance. Looking at the Moonlit Winter Stag design, I deliberately kept the stag silhouette bold and simplified so it remains clear when worked in stitches. 👀 Your turn: When you look at a mosaic design, what do you think makes the image work well? Is it: • Strong contrast between colours • Clean outlines • Simplicity of shapes • The spacing around the motif • Something else? Designing mosaic patterns is often about what you leave out as much as what you include. I’d love to hear your thoughts — especially if you've ever had a chart that looked great on screen but didn't translate well in crochet. Angela The Pattern Scribe
