The main difference, I felt, was that mosaic is very straight.  The chain spaces of one row, and corresponding longer stitch in front with the opposite colour are very specifically placed to make a geometric pattern.  The brioche is one stitch, one chain space, with dc2tog (a dec) or dc chain dc in a single stitch (an inc) to create the pattern.  The regular chain spaces combined with the above &#8216;pull&#8217; the direction of the pattern, making it swirl.  I don&#8217;t know how else to explain it &#8211; you have to do it to see it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The garment is crocheted from the neck down, and no sewing joins anywhere &#8211; yipee!
