I designed Lakeside Spirit because of my love of nature and animals and wanted to create a beautiful scene, plus this design has my first detailed border separate PDF, obviously it’s up to you if you use it. The design is smaller than usual as many people were asking for smaller blankets, but you could use a thicker yarn if you’d like it bigger.

Lakeside Spirit is an overlay mosaic crochet pattern. The download includes the full WRITTEN PATTERN and CHARTS, in separate PDFs, please check your library.

This pattern is in US terms using overlay mosaic crochet, in one size. You cut the yarn and alternate the colours with each row.
