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:
- 3 Balls - Caron One Pound Main Colour, 2436 yards
- 2 Balls - Caron One Pound Contrast A (Secondary Colour), 1624 yards
- 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.

Video Introduction
The videos are closed and captioned by our CC Team, Diane and Nancy.
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.

Erin designed the Crochet Buffalo Plaid Blanket back for the Canada 150th Birthday. The concept for this particular crochet blanket is simple, yet looks complicated.

Haha, Mikey, please ignore my earlier comment. I just realized why the videos are dead links. Because it's a CAL, silly me!
siyasiya says
Hi Mikey, this looks like lots of fun! But the videos are dead links, they seem to be private videos 🙁
Jodie says
I think the first will be live on March 23rd.
Alaina says
What colors are the yarn that was used in the blanket for the photo? Is it one of the versions listed on the sheet?
Marina King says
I'm not sure what photo you are seeing Mikey said he used Purple and Grey (Version 4) but I'm seeing different colours when I look I'm seeing White and Turquoise
Mary says
so excited to do this
Marina King says
same here, it's completely different from anything I have tried so far, photos really don't do it justice it's very pretty
TJ says
Version #1 is the color in the pictured blanket.
Alaina says
Thanks. I think I was too late in buying my yarn I can’t find any contrast A or B of version 1 anywhere
Marina King says
the colours listed are just a suggestion, you have the creative freedom to pick any colours you like, you also don't have to stick to Caron One Pound. Bernat Premium is a really nice yarn, Red Heart has some pretty colours as well. All kinds of fun options out there.
Alaina says
I happen to really like the colors of the photo and would like to be able to purchase them. I’m bad at picking colors so I appreciate when it’s figured out for me.
Marina King says
Ah gotcha, hopefully, your able to find the yarn you are looking for, or at least match it as close as possible.
