KALEIDOSCOPE is an Overlay Mosaic pattern worked from the centre out, in the round by Silver Hook Crochet.

There are FOUR sizes of pattern available and full guidance is given for all of these in both chart format and written pattern:

SMALL TILE - versions 1 and 2 measuring approximately 13cm squared with 16 rounds

LARGE TILE - measuring approximately 28cm squared with 32 rounds

THROW SIZE - measuring approximately 150cm squared with 137 rounds

FULL SIZE BLANKET - measuring 165cm squared with 186 rounds

My Gauge, using Hobbii Twister/Friends Wheel and a US (D) hook is 24 stitches x 24 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm / 4” x 4”.

Overlay Mosaic is a crochet technique which creates intricate colour work designs using very simple stitches. In this pattern, you will work from the centre out, in the round with the pattern side (right side) of your work always facing you. You will work each round in alternating colours, keeping both the main colour and contrast colours attached, swapping over as required at the start of each new round. Guidance is given on how to change colour and carry the unused yarn.

One clear benefit of working overlay mosaic in the round = only two ends to weave in to finish, and therefore no need for an envelope border to hide multiple cut ends.

This pattern is written British English/Grammer, using US Crochet Terms.

Yarn used to make the full size blanket in the first photo is
Main Colour/Background:
Hobbii Twister - Snapdragon (x1) and Golden Glow (x2.5) 3600m
Contrast Colour/Pattern:
Hobbii Friends Wheel - Sand (x7) 2800m

For information purposes, my Testers have created Project pages which detail yarn usage for the different sizes of the pattern made.

Small and Large Tiles are PERFECT for using yarn leftovers.

Overlay Mosaic Crochet can be done using any yarn weight. If you choose to use a different yarn weight or hook size to that described in the pattern, the yarn amounts required and the finished project size will differ.
