RosieMac Overlay Mosaic Afghan

RosieMac is worked in the normal overlay mosaic row by row technique. ************************************************************ Rosiemac was designed for my very good friend and cousin-in-law, Rose Ann. She asked for a blanket to go outside on her garden furniture – so the RosieMac was born and aptly named after a really lovely lady. Rosiemac, whilst designed as a blanket would make a brilliant rug too - if crocheted in nice strong cotton! ************************************************************ The PDF has 8 easy-to-read charts and corresponding written instructions. Two PDFs are available - one using US terms and one using UK terms. ************************************************************ You can use any yarn and corresponding hook you like for this pattern, just remember a tighter tension is better for mosaic crochet. If using Red Heart Super Saver, you will need approximately 12 skeins for the main body of the blanket (including a 3-row double border) * 6 skeins for Colour A (364 yards per skein) = total of 2184 yards * 6 skeins for Colour B (364 yards per skein) = total of 2184 yards If using Stylecraft Special Aran, you will need approximately 20 skeins for the main body of the blanket (including a 3-row double border) * 10 skeins for Colour A (214 yards per skein) = total of 2140 yards * 10 skeins for Colour B (214 yards per skein) = total of 2140 yards This will create a blanket of approximately 122cm wide x 165cm tall - including the border. You can of course create any width you want, but the pattern means that the height will always be the same. So you could create a table runner, wall hanging or scarf if you prefer. ************************************************************ I hope you enjoy creating your own RosieMac Blanket.
