Giroc Tunisian crochet mosaic square for blankets

This is an intermediate Tunisian crochet mosaic pattern inspired by motifs in Romanian embroidery from the Banat region. Giroc is a commune in this region with amazing artisans.

The original motif is embroidered with flat stitches or woven in the fabric used to make traditional chemises.

The pattern can be multiplied over larger areas or made in individual squares that are seamed with different squares of the same size.

You will need a 7 mm Tunisian crochet hook for the main pattern, either a long hook or a cabled hook. The smaller hook is needed for the border around the square, so you can easily seam the square with other squares.
