Mosaic crochet is such fun to do! This blanket is a joy to crochet, using 2 solid colors (or one solid and one shaded color) of light worsted weight yarn, the mosaic crochet technique and basic crochet stitches! The solid edging finishes off the blanket nicely!
Two sizes are included in the pattern: small and large.

In this blanket, my revolutionary new Continuous Overlay Mosaic Crochet technique (COM for short) is used, eliminating the tails/ends at the beginning and end of each row! To learn this new, revolutionary Mosaic Crochet technique, watch my YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/fgdFlkafsdo.

The pattern includes full written instructions for each row of the blanket, a mosaic chart to follow (if you prefer to use charts), instructions and step-by-step photos for my Anchored dc stitch (Adc) and for using my COM technique, a check list to keep track of which row you’re working in the pattern, as well as the full yardage needed to crochet the blanket (in either size), using the COM technique.

If you’ve never done an Anchored dc before, check out my YouTube video to learn the Adc here: https://youtu.be/UfRvfdCPeFE.
