The Heather Zig Zag Blanket is a modern crochet blanket pattern worked using the inset mosaic technique to create a bold zig zag design with simple stitches. Using two colours and an easy repeat, this pattern offers the look of intricate colourwork without carrying yarn or working multiple colours in the same row. The rhythm of the stitches makes it a relaxing project, and the pattern includes guidance for customising the size, making it ideal for a cosy lap blanket or a larger throw.

If you’re new to inset mosaic, the pattern includes how this techique works as well as a chart and explaining of how the chart works.
