This pattern requires a basic understanding of the construction and interpretation of patterns for mosaic crochet - we recommend a good YouTube tutorial or two to get you started. We’re happy to clear up any confusion with the patterns, but please seek out basic mosaic crochet technique pointers elsewhere. NOTE: DO NOT share any images or screenshots from our patterns online - this will be seen as a copyright violation for which we WILL take action.

For the charted patterns, we’ve broken this blanket up into 5 distinct sections - one for each of the 4 single repeater patterns (ordinances in each direction, the skulls + masks, and the bombs) that you’ll simply repeat 5 times as you work your way across the piece. The central graphic (ground zero) is broken into 4 rows of 5 patterns, totaling 20 graphs. Please note that most of the charts share top and bottom rows with their neighboring charts above or below - we’ve provided this single row overlap/duplication to better assist in tracking your place within the pattern. We also include the written patterns for you geniuses who work that way. If attempting to replicate our sample, we indicate where our A colors reside/change in both the written and charted patterns. Feel free to cross-reference between them for a better understanding if necessary.
