Windswept is an overlay mosaic crochet pattern, with the pattern being mainly in chart form, which comes with associated keys and is written in UK terms.
The pattern motif can be repeated to make any product you require and can be worked in traditional overlay mosaic crochet or tapestry mosaic crochet as there are charts for each type included. There are instructions on how to add a simple envelope border if making a blanket. I have included digital mockups on page 2 to give ideas of how to incorporate the tapestry mosaic sections.
Yarn:
You can use any yarn you like for this pattern and the appropriate hook for your yarn.
On page 3 you will find a table with yarn amounts for Windswept in various sizes of blankets based on aran/worsted weight.
Gauge:
17 stitches & 16 rows = 10 cm (4 inches)
Using aran/worsted weight yarn and a 5 mm hook.
Sizes:
This is a continuous pattern which is worked in repeats of 18 stitches and 26 rows and there are tables on page 2 which indicate row/column repeats, starting stitch counts and yarn amounts for the most common size of blankets.
Suitable for:
If following the overlay chart the pattern is suitable for beginners, however if working either of the tapestry mosaic charts it is more suited to the experienced crocheter.
