Sometimes, when I create a blanket, I fall in love with the background. This happened when I created my Hamsa blanket, so I decided to make a blanket inspired by the background of
that blanket. If you have never tried overlay mosaic with 3 colors, this is a simple and easy repeat to begin with.

The blanket is created using the overlay mosaic crochet technique, with tapestry elements that allows an extra color. It might seem difficult, but only consists of dc’s and sc’s, so once you learn the technique, it is actually quite simple.

The pattern includes full written instructions for the blanket, and a chart if that’s what you prefer. In a separate file I have added a full photo tutorial on the technique, and how it’s done, and also a full photo tutorial on how to do a double border to hide your ends.

Suggested yarn
Color a: 5 x Scheepjes whirlette 100g/455m, color 851/Liquorice. This is for the blanket and 3 rounds of the border. The border is done in linked dc (tutorials
on YouTube), to get a thicker border that hides the ends even better.
Color b: 3 x Scheepjes whirlette 100g/455m, color 860/ice.
Color c: 1 x Scheepjes whirl 215g/1000m, color 792/Rainbow popsicle.

These are the yarns and amounts I have used, but you can use any yarn you like in any weight. Change the hook size to fit the yarn you chose and your personal tension. If you use a thicker or thinner yarn, the finished size will vary, but proportions will stay the same.
