(There are many YouTube videos that give wonderful directions on how to do mosaic crochet). Stitches/Abbreviations ch: chain sc: single crochet dc: double crochet (front loop only) bs: base stitch Pattern Notes The blanket is worked using Overlay Mosaic Crochet Technique Blanket is worked in rows. The blanket rows are always worked with the right side facing you from bottom up. Do not turn your work at the end of a row. There is a base single crochet stitch at the first and last stich of each row going through both loops. All other sc stitches are in the back loop only. All double crochet stitches are worked in the front loop only of the corresponding stitches, two rows below. For example, double crochet stitches of row 3 are worked in stitches of row 1, and so on. Stitches behind double crochet are always skipped. Unless stated otherwise, at the end of each row the yarn is fastened off, leaving a tail at least 2 inches long. If adventurous, you can attempt a reverse look for the back of the blanket. There are a lot of videos on YouTube to obtain this information. Border: Choose whatever border you like. I did an envelope border, which can also be found on YouTube for instructions.
