Definition

Two-colour crochet uses exactly two yarns, alternating them by row, round or stitch to build pattern from contrast alone.

Overview

Most mosaic and many tapestry designs are two-colour by nature, because a strict pair keeps charts legible and the fabric calm.

It is also the most forgiving way to start colourwork: only one join to manage per row and no bobbin handling.

Characteristics

  • Strict two-yarn palette
  • High graphic clarity
  • Simple yarn management

Typical uses

  • Mosaic blankets
