Linea

**Linea is an Overlay Mosaic Crochet Pattern** Linea started life as a tile pattern I designed back in 2022 – a pattern with separate sections of tiles, each doing its own thing. But I was seeing too many tile patterns being designed, so when I came back to it, I wanted mine to be a little different. I reworked the design, pulling the motifs together so they connect and flow across the blanket as a single continuous pattern. The name Linea comes from the Latin for ‘line’ or ‘stripe’, which felt right for a design built on movement and connection. While it’s still rooted in geometry, it’s less about individual blocks and more about how everything flows together. This pattern will look great in two colours, but you can be adventurous as you like and use perhaps a variegated or striped background – totally your choice. ********************************************************* The PDF includes 9 easy-to-read charts (with Xs for DCs) for each pattern, along with corresponding written instructions. Two PDFs are available - one using US terms and one using UK terms. If using just two colours of Yarnsmiths Create DK, you will need approximately: 5 skeins of Colour A 4 skeins of Colour B 2 skeins for a 3-row Double Border in the colour of your choice The blanket size will be approximately 112cm wide by 145cm long with a 3-row double border (185 stitches x 231 rows) ********************************************************* For my example, I used two colours of Yarnsmiths Create DK, with a 4mm hook. [Yarnsmiths Create DK - Burgundy (3085)][1] [Yarnsmiths Create DK - Parchment (3060)][2] You can use any yarn and corresponding hook you like for this pattern, just remember that a tighter tension is better for mosaic crochet. ********************************************************* I hope you enjoy creating your Linea Afghan.
