Thank you for your interest in my latest row by row overlay mosaic crochet pattern! inspired by the look of beautiful lace, this pattern has 211 stitches across by 243 rows.

IN ENGLISH ONLY, although the charts are universal and have X’s and grid lines every 10/10 rows and stitches for easy reading plus a full chart.

With overlay mosaic crochet all single crochet stitches go into the back loop of the stitch and all double crochet stitches go into the front loop of the stitch 2 rows below which will be of the same colour. You cut the yarn at the end of every row and join new yarn at the start of every row, the ends will either be left to create a
fringe, or you can create an envelope border, I have a PDF in the files of my Facebook group, link below.

My testers information is at the bottom of the pattern and below. I used YarnArt Flowers Alpaca DK for my background colour 940m/250g per cake in shade 407, 2 cakes, total used is 1,263m. Stylecraft Highland Heathers DK in shade Terrier 7225, 272m per 100g skein, total used is 994m. My blanket measures 110cm/101cm 43/39.5 inches with a 3.5mm hook without the border.

In a separate PDF the Charts and full chart are read from bottom to top and right to left, so you start at the bottom right corner of the charts. Each blank square is a single crochet and each square with an X is a double crochet. The AS is the anchor stitch, the A/B is that all A rows are the detailed colour, and all B rows are the background colour. Start with chart 1-16.
