• The pattern is a version of a very traditional design, used by crafters over generations.
• This version uses the two row, inset mosaic crochet method.
• It’s a full written pattern, using US crochet terms.
• There is are mosaic charts included (also versions with X’s marked).
• Yarn - use 1 cake of 1000m (ie a Scheepjes Whirl), and between 300 and 400g of a solid, contrasting colour (ie Scheepjes Whirlettes)
• If you do not want to add a border, 300g of the contrasting colour is plenty.
• The final size of my blanket is approximately 78 cm x 110 cm (approx 31” x 43”).
• The pattern can be used with any weight yarn, and the size is easily adjustable.
• Any hook size can be used, choose one that gives your work the feel and drape that you are happy with.
• The gauge is not important for this project, it will however affect the final size and dimensions of your blanket.
• The blanket can be made reversible (with the same pattern on both sides), or single-sided (with the pattern on one side, and a wavy stripes pattern on the back. Both options are included.
• The yarn is carried up the side of the blanket, so there are very few ends to sew in!

Have fun!
