So loved Ellie baby blanket is created using the overlay mosaic technique.

Skill level:
Confident beginner. Pattern is made from the front side only by alternating and cutting colours every other row. No special stitches, turning or mid-row colour changes are required. You should be comfortable following instructions with numerous stitch counts and working front and back loops.

Pattern is written in US terms and includes:

• mosaic basics and how read charts
• right and left handed pattern charts
• right and left handed written instructions
• full sized single charts
