Using the Overlay Mosaic Crochet technique, 2 solid colors of worsted weight yarn and basic crochet stitches, this blanket is a joy to crochet! The solid edging finishes off the blanket nicely! Two sizes are included in the pattern: small and large.

In this blanket, my revolutionary new Continuous Overlay Mosaic Crochet technique (COM for short) is used, eliminating the tails/ends at the beginning and end of each row! To learn this new, revolutionary Overlay Mosaic Crochet technique, watch my YouTube video.

The pattern includes full written instructions for each row of the blanket, a mosaic chart (if you prefer to use charts), instructions and step-by-step photos for my Anchored dc stitch (Adc) and for using my COM technique, a check list to keep track of which row you’re working in the pattern, as well as the full yardage needed to crochet the blanket (in either size) using the COM technique.

If you’ve never done an Anchored dc before, check out my YouTube video to learn the Adc.

This Overlay Mosaic Crochet Blanket design was inspired by the lampshades in my master bedroom, which I’ve admired for years! I think this geometric pattern looks great worked up into a baby/lap-size blanket (or a full-size blanket)!
