Introducing St Kilda, an overlay mosaic crochet pattern designed and created in collaboration with the amazingly talented Lucia Dunn from Lucia’s Fig Tree - https://luciasfigtree.com/

One of the most exciting aspects of the St Kilda pattern is the opportunity it presents for crocheters to embark on their own artistic adventure. The pattern showcases not one but two breathtaking colourways, each offering a distinct visual narrative.

As the designer, I have carefully crafted a colourway that reflects my artistic sensibilities, capturing a palette that resonates with my personal style. With blues and teals, I aimed to evoke a sense of the coast through a harmonious interplay of hues.

Lucia, on the other hand, brings her unique perspective to St Kilda with her own extraordinary colourway. Drawing inspiration from her creative journey, Lucia has woven a tapestry of colours that infuses the pattern with her signature touch.

By offering these two colourways, we aim to provide crocheters with a choice—an opportunity to select the palette that resonates most deeply with their own creative vision. Whether you lean towards the warm earthy tones of Lucia’s colourway or the vibrant hues of mine, the beauty of St Kilda lies in the personalisation it allows.

St Kilda is worked in the normal overlay mosaic row-by-row technique.

The PDF has 8 easy to read charts and corresponding written instructions. The pattern also details the exact colour-way I used with the amount of yarn per colour.

Two PDFs are available - one using US terms and one using UK terms.

You can use any yarn and corresponding hook you like for this pattern, just remember a tighter tension is better for mosaic crochet.

If using Sirdar Bonus Aran and/or Sirdar Jewelspun (like my example), you will need.

• 560g for Colour A
• 765g for Colour B
• 20g for colour C (if you choose to do tapestry mosaic on the puffin beaks)
• 230g for a simple 3-row double border

Approx. 1575 grams total
Between 3800 - 4400 yards (3500 - 4000 metres)

This will create a blanket approximately 110 cm wide by 155cm long - not including the border.

The PDFs include a full breakdown of the amounts of yarn required per pattern to help you choose your own colours.

The yarn stats for Lucia’s example are detailed within the pattern.
