$7.00
For the longest time as a kid, I thought seahorses were mythical creatures like unicorns. How can something so tiny also be so intricate? How do they swim with a tail like that? Read more at https://ashleeslint.com/2021/10/18/seahorse-dance
You will receive three files. One for the interlocking crochet technique and two that use the overlay mosaic crochet technique. When I originally drew this in 2021 I used the same chart for both techniques so you can see the interlocking mesh dots on the original mosaic option. The new mosaic option, created in 2024, uses an adjusted chart so the solid areas are actually solid. Learn more about these techniques at https://ashleeslint.com/tutorials/interlocking-and-mosaic-crochet/.
Each file contains the fully written pattern, instructions for reading the charts, a single-page chart (good for viewing on a screen), and a nine-page chart (better for printing).
The mosaic options also include instructions for an optional envelope border. My mosaic charts are all marked with X’s.

The Locked Filet Mesh (LFM) interlocking crochet method uses only chain spaces and double crochets to create a mesh; two colors are worked alternately which creates the pattern.
Mosaic crochet uses single crochet and double crochet stitches. The double crochet stitches cover some of the other color’s single crochet stitches to create the design. My patterns instruct you to cut your yarn at the end of each row. The back is striped but often gives a faint impression of the pattern on the front (sort of like illusion knitting).
