Solid and non-solid (grid like background) variants of the same pattern. You could do just the main panel, or the main panel and the first border, or the full width of the blanket. **Overlay mosaic** and **Interlocking Filet** crochet **bottom up** row by row or **in the round**. You require two colors of yarn, color 1 (C1) for the background and color 2 (C2) for the leaves and flowers. **Terminology**: all crochet terms used are U.S. * The Main panel 239 st x 351 rows / 119x175 filet windows * The Main panel and the First Border 283 st x 395 rows / 141x197 filet windows * The full width of the blanket 301 st x 413 rows / 150x206 filet windows **Gauge**: 10 stitches in 5cm (2”) by 5 rows in 5cm (2”) in dc stitch pattern.
