Mikey's Bernat Mosaic Yarn Painting
Doesn’t this look stunning? If I were to ever plan something that would have rocked the crochet world as much as I did with this painting, I probably would not have gotten the attention as this new yarn painting has received.
Watch this HowTo Instructional Video on creating your own. I consider this project free form as you need to create the work to fit the frame. Everyone will have different sizes of frames to work with. This requires you to be a bit imaginative and exercise your crochet skills.
In this frame that is 24″ wide by 30″ high, I’ve created a yarn insert that is basket weave crochet. This video will cover a number of questions such as the following:
- How to create the basket weave stitch
- Sizing requirements for the insert
- How I attached the yarn to the frame
- What to look for in a frame due to weight of the project
- Materials used and crochet hook size
Over all, I absolutely loved this project. It’s one of my most treasured crochet projects to date. In keeping with the Basket Weave theme, have you seen this Basket Weave Scarf Pattern? It’s the same concept as shown in my project.

What a wonderful idea! I inherited my mother’s, grandmother’s, great aunt’s, and great-grandmother’s jewelry. I’m actually thinking about using 1 color per 1/3 of the frame, so 1 block solid black, 1 block solid blue, and one block solid brown. That way, I can hang it in my bedroom and display my family heirlooms on it.
