I made this blanket for my mom for her birthday in a few months. I’m loving making squares blankets recently! Especially during hot weather months.

I used a 3.5mm hook and Premier Anti-pilling Everyday DK yarn (my favorite!!) in the colors White (# 1107-01), Fawn (# 1107-22), Terra Cotta (# 1107-53), and Garnet (# 1107-07), 9 skeins of each, except a couple yards extra of Garnet. So, a total of 9,828 yards, or 3,600 grams. The finished size was about 82” square, or 6.83 ft x 6.83 ft, or 2.083 m x 2.083 m.

This new pattern is more a record of what actions I have performed to make this blanket, and hopefully adequate to reproduce it yourself should you wish. I did not use testers or tech editors. It is free. I understand how lean these days can be. If you think this pattern sucks, or have questions or comments, suggestions, or whatever else, my email is TexasCrochetDesigns@gmail.com

You might need to search for and watch an overlay mosaic crochet tutorial on YouTube first if you’ve never used that technique before. This pattern could easily be done by an adventurous beginner, as long as you know the anatomy of stitches and the types of stitches listed below.

My apologies go out to the more visually inclined as I will not be providing charts along with the written pattern. In the making of this blanket, I did not draw up many of the figures in it, and therefore don’t have them for you to reference, either.
