Hi there!

Mosaic crochet is perfect to combine colors in ways that are usually not possible! So here’s a blanket made of contrasting squares that you can combine in any way that you like :)

This is an overlay mosaic crochet pattern. The pattern has very detailed instructions, with text, chart and step by step pictures. Some basic overlay mosaic crochet knowledge is desirable (there are lots of free resources to learn on the Internet), but in any case I’ve included a basic introduction and description of the stitches used in this pattern for any adventurous crocheters who want to dive right in :)
