**About the Design** This pattern is worked in overlay mosaic crochet using two contrasting colors referred to as Light Color and Dark Color, allowing you to personalize your palette while maintaining clear visual definition. • Stitch Count: 232 stitches wide × 348 rows tall (excluding starting chain and border stitches) • Finished Size: approx. see table below at the section about the gauge. • Skill Level: Advanced or Confident Intermediate • Pattern Type: Large project, suitable as a throw, bed topper, or statement piece ________________________________________ **Materials** • Yarn in two colors required: Color A: Light Color Color B: Dark Color • Additional Supplies: Crochethook (size 3mm,4mm or 5mm depending on your gauge) tapestry needle, scissors Exact yardage will depend on yarn brand and personal tension. ________________________________________ **Gauge** Gauge will affect final size and yarn usage. I advise you to make a swatch of at least 20 stitches and rows so you know what you gauge is with the yarn you like to use. Then measure in the center of the swatch how many stitches there are in 10x10 cm (4x4 inch). This way you can also aim on the size of the blanket you like. If you like the project to be slightly bigger, you can choose a bigger hook size and or use heaver yarn. Your Gauge Stitches-Rows; Estimated project size in cm & in inch 20 - 22 116 x 158.18 cm. 46.4 x 63.27 inch. 18 – 20 128.89 x 174 cm. 51.56 x 69.6 inch. 16 – 18 145 x 193.33 cm. 58 x 77.33 inch. 14 – 16 165.71 x 217.5 cm. 66.29 x 87 inch. 12 – 14 193.33 x 248.57 cm. 77.33 x 99.43 inch. ________________________________________ **Yarn Requirements (Estimated)** For the average gauge of 16x18. Project size (approx. 145 x 193.33 cm / 58 x 77.33 inch.) hooksize 4 advised, but use the gauge as guideline. • Total yarn: approx. 1,350–1,610 meters (1,480–1,760 yards) DK / Light Worsted • Dark Color approx. 78–83% of total yardage. Approx 1,050–1,330 meters (1,150–1,475 yards) • Light Color approx. 17–22% of total yardage. Approx 230–355 meters (250–390 yards) As a guideline, this equals approximately: • A total of 7–9 skeins of 100 g DK yarn (±200–240 m per skein), depending on brand and tension. Using a smaller hook size will reduce overall yarn usage; a larger hook or looser tension may increase it. ________________________________________ **Abbreviations (US Terms)** ch Chain sc (blo) Single crochet in the back loop only dc (flo) Double crochet in the front loop two rows below st Stitch Overlay mosaic crochet uses only these basic stitches. All single crochets are worked in the back loop only; all double crochets are overlay stitches worked into the front loop of the stitch two rows below in the same color. ________________________________________ **How to Start** We begin with a foundation row (row 0) in the dark color: Begin with a foundation chain of 231 chains, (228 pattern stitches + 2 border stitches + 1 turning chain). Start the return row in the 2nd stitch. Work one row of single crochet back to the beginning before starting row 1 of the mosaic pattern. ________________________________________ **Finishing** You may weave in the ends or apply an envelope border to conceal them. Blocking is recommended to achieve a clean, flat finish and enhance stitch definition.
