About The Centre-Out Mosaic Crochet Technique
The Snowfall Wine Cozy crochet pattern uses the Centre-Out Overlay Mosaic crochet technique which is easier than you think! It’s as simple as making a granny square! Overlay mosaic crochet uses two stitches:
- Back loop only double crochet (US terms = back loop only single crochet)
- Front loop only treble crochet (US terms = front loop only double crochet).
There’s also a small corner variation for the corner stitch, but it’s simply a front loop only treble crochet (US terms = front loop only double crochet) – nothing tricky!
If you can work double crochets (US terms = single crochets) and treble crochets (US terms = double crochets) then you’re ready to go!
Once your squares are ready simply seam them together and add the handles. Before you know it you’ll have a cozy that looks intricate but that works up surprisingly quickly.
A Handmade Touch That Makes Every Gift Feel Special
This wine cozy isn’t just a pattern – it’s a beautiful way to upgrade your gifting, reduce waste, and create something the recipient will treasure. Whether you’re preparing for the holidays or crafting thoughtful winter gifts, the Snowfall Mosaic Crochet Wine Cozy is a joyful little project you’ll want to create again and again.
Centre-Out Mosaic Crochet Patterns
The overlay mosaic crochet is a wonderfully simple yet striking technique. By using two contrasting colours, you can create eye-catching, geometric designs without ever having to change colours mid-round – that’s one of the best parts!
Centre-out overlay mosaic crochet combines this technique with the flexibility of classic granny squares. Think of it as granny squares with a twist – or perhaps granny squares on steroids!
Anything you can make with granny squares, you can make with a centre-out mosaic square – from blankets and cushions to ornaments and accessories.
Although I often label my mosaic crochet patterns as ‘intermediate’, they’re absolutely suitable for confident beginners too. If you can work basic crochet stitches, you can do mosaic crochet – it really is that easy.
You’ll find the full written instructions are below in both UK and US crochet terms, along with a few photo tutorials to guide you through the trickier parts.
Skill Level
The Snowfall Wine Cozy is a fun, winter make that’s perfect for confident beginners and mosaic crochet lovers alike.
So grab your yarn, hook and a cup of hot chocolate, turn on your favourite playlist, and let’s get started on your next favourite handmade gift bag!

Pattern Notes
How to Read The Pattern
When in the instructions you have a number followed by a stitch, eg 14 dc, this means you have to work 1dc into each of the next 14 sts.
Instructions in brackets (….) or square brackets […] are worked as many times as indicated.
Centre-out Mosaic Crochet Pattern Notes
- You can either follow the chart or written instructions.
- Overlay mosaic crochet is created by working with two contrasting colours in alternating rounds. All rounds are worked on the right side of the project.
- Unless otherwise indicated, ALL double crochet (US = single crochet) stitches are worked into the back loops of the stitch while treble crochet (US = double crochet) stitches are worked into the front loops of stitches from 2 rounds below. The treble crochet stitches are covering up the double crochet stitches from the previous round.
- Start each round with a 1 ch (does not count as a st).
- End each round with an invisible join. To avoid weaving in all those ends, do not cut the yarn when you finish a round. Simply change colours when working the invisible join, use the new colour to work the 1 ch, then continue with the next round.
- From round 3 carry the previous colour for one st, then leave to pick it back up as needed.
How to read the chart
- Read the chart from the bottom up, each row of squares represents one round.
- Each round is read from right to left for right-handed crocheters.
- Numbers running up the side of the chart are the round count.
- Each round is worked in a single colour. The coloured square beside each round, indicating the colour you will use for the entire round.
- Change the colour of yarn with every round.
- Each square represents one stitch. A blank square of any colour indicates a double crochet (US = single crochet) worked into the back loop; a square of any colour with an ‘X’ indicates a treble crochet (US = double crochet) worked into the front loop of the stitch two rounds down.
- You should follow the symbols in the squares. The colours in the middle of the chart are to be used as a guide only and should represent how your piece will look once that round has been completed.
- Do not change colours mid-round (unless the pattern calls for it)

Schematic
Slip Stitch Join
Use the schematic below to join the squares.
First work the horizontal joins across the middle of the cosy, then the vertical joins before joining the base square.
You can join the squares using any technique you prefer. I chose the slip stitch join. For this method place the first two squares flat on a table with ride sides facing up.
Horizontal Joins
Using the larger hook and CC, create a slip knot and place the loop over your hook, with the working yarn underneath the two squares.
A) Insert your hook into the 2-ch corner space of the first square and the into the corresponding 2-ch corner space of the second square, yo and pull through all loops on your hook to create your first slip stitch.
B) Insert your hook through the BLO of the next stitch of the first square, and then into the BLO of the corresponding stitch of the second square, yo and pull through all loops on your hook to complete a slip stitch.
C) repeat step B) across until you reach the corner stitches. Insert your hook into the 2-ch corner space of the first square, then into the 2-ch corner space of the second square, yo and pull through all loops on your hook.
D) Without breaking your yarn, move straight onto the next pair of squares and repeat steps A)
to C).
E) Continue in this way until you have joined 4 pairs of squares. After completing the final slip stitch join, work an invisible join – remove your hook from your loop, insert your hook from front to back through the first slip stitch of the very first pair of squares, place the loop back over your hook and pull through to the back of your work.
Finish and weave in ends.
Add additional rows using steps A) to E) until you have one square left.
Vertical Joins
Starting at the same end each time, complete steps A) to E) to work the vertical joins. The end where you have started your vertical joins will become the base and is where you will join the final square.
Joining the Base Square
Use the same method as before to join all four sides of the final square to create the base of your cosy.
Work through steps A) to E) but instead of joining a new square, start the next side of your base square.
Finish and weave in all ends.
