Create your own stunning Smiling Patchwork Faces blanket with this easy-to-follow mosaic overlay crochet pattern – a joyful, feel-good make that’s guaranteed to brighten any space (and quite possibly your mood while you’re making it!).

This design features rows of cheerful smiling faces built into a striking patchwork effect – a modern, graphic style blanket that looks far more complex than it actually is to create.

This pattern includes fully written instructions PLUS clear charts. After purchase, you’ll receive two instant PDF downloads:

One written in US crochet terms
One written in UK crochet terms

You only need to know the basic crochet stitches to get started. The “magic” of how the smiling faces appear is fully explained with a step-by-step photo tutorial, making the technique accessible even if you’ve never tried mosaic overlay crochet before.

Don’t just take my word for it – have a look through my pattern reviews. Many crocheters who had never attempted mosaic overlay before have successfully completed my designs with ease.

One colour per row means no juggling bobbins, no mid-row colour changes, and no stress – just relaxing, rhythmic crochet with stunning results.

Even with all the vibrant colours I’ve used, the clever construction keeps finishing simple. All ends are neatly enclosed within an envelope border, fully explained with a photo tutorial leaving just 5 ends to sew in!

The blanket shown in the main photograph measures:
35 in / 89 cm wide x 41 in / 104 cm long (including border)

The design is fully customisable, so you can easily make it larger or smaller depending on your needs.

Pattern repeat: 44 stitches wide x 44 rows long

The blanket photographed was made using Scheepjes Stonewashed yarn in a variety of colours. However, you can substitute other yarns as long as you use an appropriate hook size.
