ALL SQUARED

The ALL SQUARED Mosaic Blanket is a' bottom up' Overlay Mosaic pattern with optional colour pops using Tapestry Crochet by Silver Hook Crochet. This pattern is written using US Crochet Terms. Overlay Mosaic is a crochet technique which creates intricate colour work designs using very simple stitches. This pattern is worked from the bottom up with the pattern side (right side) of your work facing you at all times, and working one row at a time from right to left. Traditionally in Overlay Crochet two colours are used, a background colour and a pattern colour. You work with one colour at a time, cutting yarn at the end of each row, alternating colours each row. The cut ends are hidden between the two layers of an envelope border. Tapestry Crochet is a term given to working small areas of colour work, picking up and dropping new colours as needed and controlling yarn with the help of some form of bobbin to prevent tangles. The methods for using Tapestry Crochet in this project are described within the pattern. An Envelope Border finishes this project beautifully, hiding all the cut ends, and full guidance for creating this is included within the pattern.
