Description:
Pegasus Mosaic Blanket is an overlay mosaic crochet pattern.
Pegasus is a winged horse in Greek mythology. I’ve shown him as a magnificent white stallion, rearing up in the moonlight with a large moon rising behind him. As Pegasus is also a constellation, I’ve included a few stars! This magical fantasy horse is often seen as a symbol of creative inspiration, and also represents virtue and bravery.

Overview:
This is an overlay mosaic crochet pattern, worked row by row. Each row is worked in one colour. At the end of each row the yarn is cut, and the next row is worked on the front side of the work again with the other colour. This pattern does not include any slanted or angled stitches, just standard stitches.

Pattern files included:

  • written instructions (both UK and US terms)
  • large chart to view on screen (or use with apps like Knit Companion)
  • smaller charts, split out to A4 size for easier printing

Charts and written patterns are included for both right-handed and left-handed use.

Size:
This blanket is 192 stitches wide and has 275 rows. In DK yarn it will be about 101cm wide and 150cm long (about 40” wide and 59” long).
If you choose to add a border, this will make it a bit bigger.

Yarn:
You can use any yarn and hook size you like for this pattern, just be aware that the resulting size may be different, and it may use a different amount of yarn. I recommend using two colours with a good contrast, so that the pattern shows up clearly.

Example yarn usage:
Stylecraft Special DK
10 x 100g balls of Colour A (background) - uses about 2645 metres (2893 yards)
6 x 100g balls of Colour B (pattern) - uses about 1553 metres (1698 yards)

This pattern does not include a border. You have the option of leaving the ends as a fringe, sewing them in, or adding an envelope border if you prefer.
