Bargello Mosaic uses the Overlay Mosaic crochet technique, but cycles through 3 colours, rather than the more usual 2.

This enabled me to create a design that appears to use 3 colours in each row, when in fact, as with all mosaic crochet, there is no fiddly carrying of colours.
Each row uses just 1 colour.

The pattern includes a clear, easy to read chart, full written instructions, and lots of photos, so even beginners to mosaic crochet should have little difficulty creating this seemingly complex design.

It really is easy to do - I promise!

The pattern includes instructions for 3 sizes of blanket - ranging from a small baby blanket / comforter (62cm x 74cm) to a large blanket, suitable for covering a UK double bed (152cm x 180cm).

As always, there is a choice of UK or US terms.
