This is a crochet PATTERN ONLY (not a finished product) for a blanket using the Overlay Mosaic technique, which uses two basic crochet stitches to create a thick fabric featuring a picture or intricate design.

The blanket is worked with the right side facing at all times. For right-handed crocheters, each row is started on the right and worked to the left, then finished off at the end. For left-handed crocheters, each row is started on the left and worked to the right, then finished off at the end. There are no color changes within the body of the blanket.

This pattern is beginner friendly, as it explains how to do mosaic (even if you’ve never done it before). It includes a chart and instructions for reading the chart, as well as written instructions for right and left-handed crocheters. Mosaic crochet can look intricate and complicated, but is made up of only single crochet & double crochet!

This pattern uses 2 colors of yarn. This blanket can be made in any weight yarn, but I recommend worsted weight (4) to ensure the size. The pattern is 112 stitches across by 139 rows tall. If made with worsted weight yarn, the finished blanket should measure about 33” wide x 40” tall, not counting the fringe or border.

Approximate yarn estimation needed for this pattern:
Background color - 900 yards
Accent/design color - 700 yards
Appropriate size crochet hook (I recommend sizing down .5mm from the size that the yarn recommends)
