The Andromeda Mosaic Blanket is an Overlay Mosaic pattern worked together with Tapestry Crochet.

This pattern is written in US Crochet Terms.

Overlay Mosaic is a crochet technique which creates intricate colour work designs using very simple stitches.

This pattern is worked from the bottom up with the pattern side (right side) of your work facing you at all times, and working one row at a time from right to left. Traditionally in Overlay Crochet two colours are used, a background colour and a pattern colour. You work with one colour at a time, cutting yarn at the end of each row, alternating colours each row. The cut ends are most commonly hidden between layers in an envelope border.

Tapestry Crochet is a term given to working small areas of colour work, picking up and dropping new colours as needed and controlling yarn with the help of some form of bobbin to prevent tangles. The methods for using Tapestry Crochet in this project are described within the pattern.
