Maximalist Mosaic Crochet

Maximalism is in – and your crochet is about to catch up! Maximalist Mosaic Crochet is your permission slip to go bold, be loud, and stitch with abandon. Inspired by the feel-good philosophy of dopamine dressing and the unapologetic joy of maximalist design, this book is a celebration of crochet as self-expression. Think neon pops, bold patterns, and graphic contrasts, all made using the simple and endlessly versatile mosaic crochet technique.

These are statement pieces: blankets that light up a room, pillows that double as personality explosions, shawls that turn heads, and wall hangings that belong in modern art galleries (or candy shops). Whether you're a colour lover, a texture chaser, or someone who craves craft projects that make you feel something, you'll find inspiration here.

• 16 dopamine-boosting projects that mix bold colour, graphic impact, and satisfying stitchwork
• Eye-catching designs including blankets, pillows, shawls, and wall hangings
• Simple mosaic crochet techniques with dramatic results
• Palette ideas and mood-boosting colour combinations to make your work pop
• Tips for customising your style and embracing your creative maximalist

Inside, you'll discover 16 dopamine-boosting designs that layer visual impact with approachable techniques. Mosaic crochet is deceptively simple but endlessly satisfying. You'll learn how to manipulate contrast, scale, and repetition to create projects that are as fun to make as they are to show off.

Beyond the patterns, you'll find mood-boosting yarn palettes, tips for going even bigger and bolder, and guidance for customising your pieces to reflect your unique aesthetic. Whether your style leans retro rave or pastel riot, this book is a flexible toolkit for stitching joy into every corner of your life.

So get ready to ditch the beige and embrace the bright. Maximalist Mosaic Crochet is for the makers who want more – more colour, more power, more fun!
