SKILL LEVEL
✨ Level 2-Advanced (angle stitches)
This pattern uses mosaic overlay crochet (worked one color per row). A working knowledge of basic crochet stitches (chain, single crochet, double crochet) is recommended.

This mosaic crochet pattern is an advanced skill level and is recommended for crocheters with experience in mosaic overlay crochet. Detailed instructions, photos, and video tutorials will guide you through each step of the project. With a little bit of patience and practice, you’ll be a pro in no time!

If you are new to angle stitches, I highly recommend trying them first with this free Heart Mug Rug pattern. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/heart-mug-rug-2 This small 7”x 7” project is a great introduction to my angle notation system and includes my full stitch key.

OPTIONAL PERSONALIZATION
There is space in the design to personalize your blanket with a name. I have several alphabet fonts available that fit this space nicely (sold separately). https://www.ravelry.com/bundles/alphabets-21

It is important for Color A to be your dark color due to the use of shadow in this design.

ABOUT MOSAIC CROCHET
Mosaic crochet uses one color per row to create crisp, graphic lettering and imagery — no yarn is carried along the back of the work.

This pattern is divided into 6 sections (5 pages each) and is worked from the bottom up. I would suggest using the Knit Companion app (my personal preference as it is brilliant and saves on printer ink and paper), but I have also included layout instructions for the charts if you prefer to print out your pages. The written pattern sections correlate with the charts so they can be used together. I have also included a full chart on one page for those who wish to use Knit Companion (or similar technology) without all the page breaks.

Special thanks to Anita Schadeck, Grace Fey Strain and Jane Tonnellier for testing this pattern.
