A is for Adventure | Storybook Alphabet

A is for Adventure is the first design in the Storybook Alphabet Collection: a bold two-colour mosaic overlay crochet blanket combining detailed imagery with the timeless appeal of an alphabet-inspired series.

Worked using one colour per row, the design gradually emerges through the rhythmic combination of Back Loop Single Crochet and Front Loop Double Crochet stitches.

The finished blanket makes a lovely statement throw, keepsake or gift and is suitable for crocheters who are comfortable with, or ready to explore, mosaic overlay crochet.
