Description:

Racing Car Mosaic Blanket is an overlay mosaic crochet pattern for a throw blanket or afghan. The blanket shows two race cars, inspired by Formula 1 (F1) Grand Prix racing cars.

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.
