Piglet Pen - Overlay Mosaic Crochet Baby Blanket

Pattern is in English only and uses US terms. Join the FB group "Hooked by Kari - Mosaic Crochet Patterns" for future sales, pattern releases, and to share your finished work! This is a crochet PATTERN ONLY (not a finished product) for a blanket using the Overlay Mosaic technique, which uses two basic crochet stitches to create a thick fabric featuring a picture or intricate design. The blanket is worked with the right side facing at all times. For right-handed crocheters, each row is started on the right and worked to the left, then finished off at the end. For left-handed crocheters, each row is started on the left and worked to the right, then finished off at the end. There are no color changes within the body of the blanket. This pattern is beginner friendly, as it explains how to do mosaic (even if you’ve never done it before). It includes a chart and instructions for reading the chart, as well as written instructions for right and left-handed crocheters. Mosaic crochet can look intricate and complicated, but is made up of only single crochet & double crochet! This pattern is written for 2 colors of yarn, any tapestry crochet (color changes) would be done manually and are not included in the pattern. This blanket can be made in any weight yarn, but I recommend worsted weight (4) to ensure the size. The pattern is 114 stitches across by 135 rows tall. If made with worsted weight yarn, the finished blanket should measure about 33” wide x 39” tall, not counting the fringe or border. Approximate yarn estimation needed for this pattern: Background color - 800 yards Accent/design color - 600 yards Appropriate size crochet hook (I recommend sizing down .5mm from the size that the yarn recommends)
