Learning Mosaic Knitting and Crochet

I've recently been learning about Mosaic knitting and Mosaic crochet.  It is so fascinating to see how it is done.  I first saw a knit hat pattern that combined Mosaic knitting and small cables that travel over the surface.  I enjoyed making that.  It was really not difficult to do.  I did learn to do some simple cables this fall so this wasn't my first time doing cables.  These cables are only 2 stitches though - one each side.  This is Skenonto Hat by Mat Kladney.

I am going to start making another one soon.  My husband wants one in black and grey.  

The next thing I tried was mosaic crochet.  I saw this pattern called the Maka blanket on youtube.  There are 2 sizes and I made the small size.  I was just using yarn I already had on hand so I used red heart black and a stripes called fruity stripe.  I thought that stipe colorway looked like sunset colors and the black really set off those colors.  It really looks great.  Now I need to pick out another project.
