How to Crochet Woven Mosaic Blanket + Tutorial

This crochet blanket is called the Woven Pattern Mosaic Crochet Blanket designed by Erin Black for Yarnspirations.

It is a crochet stitch sampler and one of Erin's strengths is overlays and building patterns by having colours jump in front or behind stitches to form the shapes.

The blanket is 50" wide x 61" long.

To change the size of this blanket, the stitch multiple is 24 chains + 5.

More About the Stitch Along Blanket

The blanket has been made in 4 different colourways and is designed to challenge you. It is an intermediate-level project with tutorials to help you along the path. The designer has paid extra attention to the pattern for visuals and further understanding. This is truly an opportunity for easy-level crocheters to advance a notch in skills.

For myself, I used version 4 as I have cats, and the gray and purple matched my decor, but it also hides the hair of the cats well. The blanket takes the following yarn quantities to make it work:

1. 3 Balls - Caron One Pound Main Colour, 2436 yards
2. 2 Balls - Caron One Pound Contrast A (Secondary Colour), 1624 yards
3. 1 Ball - Caron Jumbo Contrast B (Peek A Boo Colour), 595 yards

You can click the picture below to save it or print it to take it shopping. Some of the colours are exclusive to JOANN, so you will only find them on their website or in select JOANN retail stores.

I have provided the combined yardage for each colour above for your convenience.

Many requests came in for the Stitch Along to have challenging concepts, and Yarnspirations delivered such a beast. I truly believe this is one of those projects where you may have the opportunity to self-celebrate your skillset building in real time. I think we will see people expressing happiness when the Afghan starts coming together.
