How to Crochet a Beautiful Mosaic Rectangle Shawl

Updated: 23 October 2026 by Sylwia (MyCrochetory)

This crochet rectangle shawl started with a color combination I once saw. At the time I was deep in my mosaic crochet phase, so of course I had to try it in mosaic. That’s how the Monochrome Bias Wrap was born in 2020.

It’s a long wrap, about 68.5 inches long and 17.3 inches wide, so there’s enough of it to wrap around your neck or wear loose over your shoulders. Wide black and white stripes take turns with three mosaic bands, and the whole thing grows on the diagonal.

Below you’ll find the full free pattern with written rows and a mosaic chart. I also photographed the first 15 mosaic rows step by step, so you can check your work against mine.

How this crochet rectangle shawl is made on the bias

This crochet rectangle shawl is worked on the bias, which is just a fancy way of saying diagonally. One edge grows while the other one shrinks, so your stitch count stays the same while the piece leans into a long parallelogram. And yes, that’s where the pointy ends come from!

You start at one pointy end and finish at the other, so the wrap gets longer with every row you make. The plain single crochet sections are turned after every row, so they go quickly between the mosaic bands.

How the mosaic bands work

The mosaic bands use one color per row, so you only ever hold one yarn at a time. You work two rows with one color, then two rows with the next, and the pattern shows up when you drop double crochets down into the rows below. In my wrap, black and white each take turns with gray, in three bands in total.

That’s also why the mosaic sections are turned after every two rows. You work two rows on the right side, two on the wrong side, and watch the motifs grow.

Is this mosaic crochet rectangle shawl hard to make?

The stitches are basic, but I’d still call this crochet rectangle shawl an intermediate project. You need single crochet, double crochet in the back or front loop, and a bit of patience for counting skipped stitches. The first mosaic band is the trickiest, until you see how the dropped stitches line up.

On that first band, it helps to check the skipped stitches in every row against the chart, and the rest goes much faster. And if mosaic crochet is new to you, my tutorial on mosaic crochet in rows is a nice warm-up before you start.

Yarn, size and blocking for your crochet rectangle shawl

I made my wrap with Scheepjes Whirlette, a cotton and acrylic blend, and I still recommend it. You need about 542 yards each of black and white, 304 yards of gray, and a 3.5 mm hook.

For blocking, steam is my fastest option with this yarn. I pin the wrap to a mat and hold a steam iron about half an inch above it, without touching the stitches. Wet blocking works too, if that’s what you prefer.

Level

Intermediate.

Size after blocking

Length 174cm/68.5”

Width 44cm/17.3”

Gauge after blocking

For single crochet section: 19sts x 23 rows = 10cm/4”

For mosaic section: 19sts x 18 rows = 10cm/4”

Gauge is not important for this project. However, changes might result in different yardage requirements and a different finished size.

General Notes

• The pattern uses US crochet terminology.
• Shawl is worked diagonally in rows, back and forth, with one color used for each row.
• Pattern is a multiple of 14 plus 6 stitches. To increase the width of the wrap, increase the number of chains. To decrease the width of the wrap, decrease the number of chains.
• You can make this wrap as long as you like by adding or subtracting pattern repeats or rows in the single crochet sections.
• You can use yarn in different weights, but be aware that the width will be different depending on your gauge.
• Sections without mosaic colorwork are turned after every row.
• Sections with mosaic colorwork are turned after every two rows. This means, you will work this section two rows on the RS, two rows on WS, and then again two rows on RS, and so on.
• STITCHES: When in the instructions you have a stitch followed by a number, eg sc14, this means you have to work 1sc stitch into each of the next 14 sts. When in the instructions you have a number followed by a stitch, eg 2BLsc, this means you have to work 2 sc stitches into the next (same) stitch.
• Instructions in square brackets […] are worked as many times as indicated.

Mosaic Section Notes

• You can either follow the chart or written instructions.
• You will start this section on the WS. Then you will work two rows on the RS, two rows on WS, and then again two rows on RS, and so on.

How to read the Mosaic Chart

• Chart is read from bottom to top and each row of squares represents one row of the shawl.
• All RS rows are read from right to left. All WS rows are read from left to right.
• Each square of the chart represents 1 stitch or 1 skipped stitch.
• Two red squares represent two single crochet worked in one stitch (on the increase side).
• One green square represents one single crochet 2 together (BLsc2tog or FLsc2tog) worked in two stitches (on the decrease side).
• Whenever you see a square of color dedicated to that row, work single crochet.
• Whenever you see a square of different color in that row, skip that stitch (make chain). To prevent puckering,  make the same number of chain as the number of skipped sts plus ch1. For example, for 1 skipped st – make ch2, for 2 skipped sts – make ch3, for 3 skipped sts – make ch4, etc.
• Pay special attention to number of skipped stitches.
• BLmosaicdc and FLmosaicdc will be worked in these skipped sts from two rows below.
• BLmosaicdc and BLsc are worked on RS of your work and FLmosaicdc and FLsc are worked on WS of your work.
• Remember, BLmosaicdc are always worked in front of chains of previous row and FLmosaicdc are always worked behind the chains of previous row.

Love a long wrap? These four are mine too, and each one has its own shape and stitch.

• Kalinda Wrap. Kalinda is a parallelogram like this one, worked in my wavy stitch with one gradient cake. It’s reversible, so both sides look good.
• Havra Wrap. Havra is also worked on the bias, with two colors and chevron clusters in an 18-row repeat.
• Arrow Wrap. Arrow is worked end to end, with one pointy end, one V-shaped end and three-color lace stripes.
• Bandos Wrap. Bandos is made of three moss stitch triangles joined into a trapezoid, and adventurous beginners can make it too.

Crochet rectangle shawl FAQ

Can I make this crochet rectangle shawl wider or longer?

Yes! For a wider or narrower wrap, add or remove chains in steps of 14. For a longer one, add rows to the plain single crochet sections, and remember that both changes need more yarn.

Do I have to follow the mosaic chart?

Not at all! Every mosaic row is also written out, so use whichever you like, or keep the chart next to you to check your work.

Can I use other colors?

Sure! Pick two colors for the plain stripes and a third one for the mosaic bands. Strong contrast between them makes the mosaic pattern show clearly.

Can I use a different yarn?

Yes, any light fingering weight yarn will do. Check your gauge first, 19 stitches over 4 inches in single crochet, because a different gauge changes the size of the wrap.
