Pattern is in English only and uses US terms.

This stunning design honors the tree of life - or tree of death, if you prefer.  Yin and yang, life and death, blooming and fading into winter.  This design combines the opposing forces of life.

This is a crochet pattern for a blanket using the Overlay Mosaic technique, which uses two basic crochet stitches to create a thick fabric featuring a picture or intricate design. The blanket is worked with the right side facing at all times. Each row is started on the right and worked to the left, then finished off at the end. There are no color changes within the body of the blanket.

This pattern is beginner friendly, as it explains how to do mosaic (even if you’ve never done it before)! It includes a chart and instructions for reading the chart. It ALSO includes written instructions for the pattern if charts are not your thing! Also included are instructions to work the extended negative stitch to make a reverse image of the design on the back side of the blanket.

This pattern uses 2 colors of yarn and the example is made with DK (weight “3”). It measures 43” wide x 51” tall, not counting the fringe. This blanket can be made in any weight yarn, but a different weight will result in a different size in the end. The design is 230 stitches wide and 299 rows.

Needed for this pattern:
Color A (background) -- 2700 yards (2800 yards for reversible)
Color B (design) -- 2100 yards (2800 yards for reversible)
Appropriately sized crochet hook
