PATTERN NOTES
This Throw is worked in the Overlay Mosaic Crochet technique. The colorwork design is created by working back loop single crochet stitches in working rows and front loop double crochet stitches 2 rows below. In Overlay Mosaic crochet, the right side is always facing, you will not turn your work. Instead, work each row from right to left, leaving an approximately 2-inch length of yarn at the beginning and end of each row. It is not necessary to weave in the loose strands as they will be hidden, encased within a Double-sided Border. You will never change colors within a row, instead, alternate the main color with the contrasting colors every row as shown in the color chart. The first two and last two stitches of each row are the only single crochet stitches worked through both loops. The stitch count will remain the same throughout. Read the chart from bottom to top, right to left. The full stitch pattern repeat is outlined in red and is a multiple of 26 stitches + 4.
