America 250

This pattern includes multiple charts with Xs for creating variations on this mosaic crochet design. The size can be adjusted by altering the weight of the yarn and size of the hook. The smaller charts are 103x103 and 103x85. The larger chart is 249x325. The size of your blanket will vary depending on the yarn and hook used, as well as your specific gauge. The technique is mosaic crochet overlay, where the colors alternate each row. You can hide the ends with a double border. You will be working on the same side of each row, so the front of the blanket is always facing you. For the larger blanket, you will need three colors, approximately 4000 yards of white, 2000 yards of red, and 1000 yards of blue. I have added letters (R for red and B for blue) in the color column in case you are printing the pattern in black and white.
