Roar & Claw brings together two powerful symbols of strength, courage and balance: the mighty dragon and the fierce tiger. Framed within an elegant circular design and surrounded by decorative motifs, this striking mosaic overlay blanket creates a dramatic statement piece that is equally at home displayed as wall art or draped across a sofa.

Worked using the mosaic overlay crochet technique, the pattern is created one row at a time using a single colour per row. A third accent colour is incorporated through colour changes for the dragon motif within selected rows, adding depth and visual impact to the finished design.

This pattern includes both a full chart and comprehensive written instructions.
