Round the Campfire Mosaic Blanket

This overlay mosaic crochet pattern was inspired by a love of camping and time spent outdoors. There are ten patterns of varying related motifs - including a tent or cabin, trees, mountains and more. All include a chart and written instructions. These are fairly simple patterns suitable for someone who is intermediate at crochet. If you are new to mosaic crochet patterns, I include some basic instructions and photos, and links for some of my favorite video tutorials (videos were not made by me but are my recommendations for crocheters who find these helpful). I give some ideas for making a blanket or cushion cover, but the repeated mosaic patterns could also be used for a table runner or wall hanging, amongst many other possibilities. All the patterns repeat every 64 stitches across so can be scaled up and down in size - you can also use repeats of 16/32 if using the smaller charts. I used Aran weight (group 4) yarn - Drops Alaska in Wheat, Maroon, Dark Red and Chocolate. For my afghan blanket size (38x60”) project pictured, I used 1,120m / 1225 yards / 800g dark colors and 700m/ 765 yards / 500g light colors. I’d love to see what you make!
