Welcome your baby with their zodiac sign!

This is a crochet PATTERN ONLY (not a finished product) 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. This pattern can be worked with the standard striped design on the back, or with a reverse image of the design on the back of the blanket.

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, as well as written instructions for the pattern if charts are not your thing! It ALSO includes instructions for anchored double crochet, to eliminate the “gaps” on the back of your work.

You will receive both right-handed and left-handed patterns!

This pattern uses 2 colors of yarn. This blanket can be made in any weight yarn, but a different weight will result in a different size in the end. If made with “3” weight yarn, the finished blanket should measure about 38” wide x 49” tall, not counting the fringe or border.

Needed for this pattern:
Color A (background) - 1200 yards (1300 yards for reversible pattern)
Color B (design) - 900 yards (1300 yards for reversible pattern_
