If you’re choosing the free to view option then the basic pattern for the blanket will be here on this post and then each of the mosaic sections will have their own blogpost that will also have the washcloth instructions on.

I also made a second blanket (in the darker earthy tones) in Lion Brand Color Theory, 100% Acrylic, 246yds/225m/100g.

The beauty of blanket making is that you can tailor the colours to suit you and your style perfectly. The 2 options I’ve created have a really different feel to them and there are so many other options you could use too!

The colours I used in the Herrschners yarn were Milkweed, Rose Clover, Wild Begonia, California Poppy, Dandelion and Switchgrass.

In the Lion Brand yarn, I used Bone, Caper, Raisin, Nutmeg and Canyon.

They are both category 4, worsted weight yarns, which gives the blanket a really cosy drape. Check our handy yarn weight chart and guide to find out more about yarn weights and categories.

The great thing about the different sections of mosaic crochet in the blanket is that they all use the same number of rows so you can switch the order around to work them however you would like them! This means you just need to plan ahead for how you are going to work them and what colours you are going to use for each.

How much yarn do I need to crochet this easy blanket?

As I mentioned before, there are so many options for yarn and colour choices for your blanket, but if you want to make it the same as mine, this is what you’re going to need.

If you’re using the Herrschners yarn: you will require approximately 1230 metres, 1345 yards of Milkweed (A). This is 3 balls of the recommended yarn.

You will also need 240 metres, 265 yards of each of the following colours: Rose Clover (B), California Poppy (C), Switchgrass (D), and Wild Begonia (E). This is 1 ball each of the recommended yarn.

And you will need 150 metres, 165 yards of Dandelion (F). This is 1 ball of yarn.

If you’re using the Lion Brand yarn: you will require approximately 1230 metres, 1345 yards of Bone (A). This is 6 balls of the recommended yarn.

You will also need 390 metres, 430 yards of Caper (B) which is 2 balls of yarn.

And you will need 240 metres, 265 yards of each of the following colours: Raisin (C), Nutmeg (D) and Canyon (E). This is 2 balls each of the recommend yarn.

Inset Mosaic Crochet

The technique for inset mosaic crochet may look quite complicated and fiddly but I promise it isn’t once you get the hang of it!

In this version you work two rows of crochet in one colour leaving spaces wherever stated in the mosaic chart or pattern and then work a further two rows in another colour.

This second colour allows you to ‘fill in’ the spaces you left using a Mosaic Double Crochet to create the design whilst then also leaving new spaces for subsequent rows.

A key feature of mosaic crochet is that each row is worked in a single colour only so there are no colour changes mid-row.

With inset mosaic crochet, rows are worked as a pair e.g. Row 1a, Row 1b, Row 2a, Row 2b etc.

A row “a” will be on the right side of your work, a Row “b” will be on the wrong side.

You will always change colour after working a pair, and all rows start and end with a single crochet (sc).

This means that you do not need to cut the yarn between pairs. You can simply float the new yarn up as required for each colour change. Be sure to watch the video tutorial for how to do this!

How to Read a Mosaic Crochet Chart and Written Pattern

If you would like to follow along with the written pattern then you’ll just need to make yourself familiar with the technique and know what a Mosaic Double Crochet stitch is. Other than that it will read just as a regular crochet pattern would.

Each of the mosaic sections have a short repeat of between 6 and 16 stitches that you will work across the blanket.

If you have upgraded to the course or Ebooks then you will have access to all of the mosaic charts. People often love working from charts once they know how easy it is!

I remember learning and thinking just how overwhelming and tricky it seemed at first though so please don’t worry – I know how you feel!

I’ve put together a video tutorial to talk you through how to read a mosaic crochet chart so you can see how they work.

Mdc – Mosaic Double Crochet

Mosaic stitches are used throughout the pattern and create the pattern on the right side of the blanket. They are worked into the empty stitches that you leave 3 rows below.

This will always be in the same colour of yarn you are currently working with.

To work a Mdc:

Yarn over and insert hook into empty stitch three rows below. Yarn over and pull through the stitch. Yarn over and pull through two loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through remaining two loops on the hook.

Fsc – Foundation Single Crochet

Step 1: Ch2, insert hook into second ch from hook, yarn over and pull up a loop. [2 loops on hook]

Step 2: Yarn over and pull up another loop i.e. ch1. This creates the first “chain” in your foundation row. [still 2 loops on hook]

Step 3: Yarn over and pull through both loops to complete the first Fsc.

Step 4: Next stitch and subsequent stitches: Insert hook into “chain” created in Step 2, yarn over and pull up a loop. [2 loops on hook]

Step 5: Yarn over and pull up another loop i.e. ch1. This creates the next “chain” in your foundation row. [still 2 loops on hook]

Step 6: Yarn over and pull through both loops to complete the next Fsc.

Repeat Steps 4, 5 and 6 as required.

Making Your Crochet Blanket Perfect For You

The great thing about the different sections of mosaic crochet in the blanket is that they all use the same number of rows so you can switch the order around to work them however you would like them! This means you just need to plan ahead for how you are going to work them and what colours you are going to use for each.

SECTION SEQUENCE

Each of the sections work in sequence from the bottom up and then repeat in reverse. This means that you only use section 5 once but you can change that!

COLOUR SEQUENCE

You can work your contrast colours in any order that you like throughout the pattern.

If you would like to match my sequences for the 2 versions I made then you can do so. Alternatively why not plan your own colour sequence or just go for it and pick as you are making!

Blanket Construction

• The blanket is made in turned rows.
• Each section of Mosaic Crochet is preceded by a number of rows of A in single crochet.
• You can work the Mosaic Crochet Sections in any order that you like as they all use the same number of rows.
• Once you have worked all of the sections in the order that you’d like to, we work a further 4 rows of single crochet in A to complete the blanket.

• A ch1 at the beg does not count as a st.
• The pattern is worked in turned rows throughout.
• Read through the entire pattern before beginning.
• Before you start, go through the pattern and highlight/mark the stitch and row counts that correspond to the size you are making (this will make your life much easier!).
• Make sure that you are familiar with all of the stitches in the abbreviations list before you begin.
• You can either follow along using the written pattern or by using the Mosaic Charts. If using the charts, you will need to then add the correct number of rows of A in between the Mosaic Sections as detailed.
• Colour changes are not in the written in each Mosaic Section to allow you to interchange colours as you like in the pattern. If you would like to match my colour changes exactly refer to page 6 for details of what I used for each Mosaic Section.

US Terminology

Adjust your hook size to get your swatch as close to the gauge measurements as you can.

Making a crochet gauge swatch is particularly important when crocheting projects (and even more so for garments) to ensure that it ends up the desired size.
