I grew up in a region, famous for its beautiful mountains, mineral waters, and different folk handicrafts.

The “Carpathian Legend” mosaic overlay crochet pattern is inspired by the traditional folk embroidery of the region.

Originally “Carpathian Legend” is a 3-colour design, where almost every second row is a tapestry row.  There is also a beginner-friendly 2-colour version option.

The chart has a few special diagonal stitches, explained in photo and video tutorials:

REPEATS, GAUGE and YARNS:

This is a repeated pattern, so it can be done in different sizes.
One repeat has 68 stitches.

The pillow is made of thread yarns (566m /100g).
For the blanket, I would recommend using yarn of fine thickness, such as thread, lace, fingering, or sport yarns, and a corresponding hook, in order to have a gauge between 24x24 and 34 st.x34 rows/ 10x10 cm.

However, if you prefer to work with sport or DK yarns, take a look at the simplified, “Carpathian Legend” blanket pattern, which has smaller repeats of 52 stitches:
