The Peter and Karin blanket is named after, and dedicated to 2 of my favourite people - my father and mother in law!

The pattern is done in overlay mosaic crochet. It may look hard, but if you can SC and DC you can do mosaic!

If you are new to mosaic, fear not - included in the pattern is an introduction to the technique, with lots of pictures to guide you. I promise you it is easier than it looks!

This pattern includes:
Instructions for a double border, so no ends will have to be sown in!
Charts and written instructions, so go about it the way you are most comfortable with.

The pattern can be made any size you want - full size blanket, baby blanket, bedspread, scarf, wrap etc.

The pattern consists of 4 different sections. You can arrange them like I have in the pictured blanket, or rearrange them any way you like to make up your own version.

I have used Scheepjes Stonewashed in 11 different colors, but you can use any yarn you want, and do multiple colors or just 2 - the choice is yours.

The colors and amount I have used in Scheepjes stonewashed are:

17 x 801 (Moon Stone)
2 x 805 (Blue Apatite)
2 x 824 (Turquoise)
2 x 825 (Malachite)
2 x 806 (Jade)
2 x 812 (Lemon Quartz)
2 x 809 (Yellow Jasper)
2 x 816 (Coral)
2 x 823 (Carnelian)
2 x 810 (Garnet)
2 x 830 (Lepidolite

Enjoy!
