The Overlay Mosaic Crochet Technique is used for this pattern. It is a pretty easy stitch sequence to learn, but if you have never done it before, I would suggest you watch a couple of videos to get a better understanding of how it works. For someone who knows how to do Overlay Mosaic Crochet, they will have no problems at all following this pattern and / or using the charts provided.

There is a chart in the PDF Pattern, and there is also a Excel chart if you would prefer. They are both the exact same style. There is also a row by row fully written pattern if you would prefer to use that too.
