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.

Example of Erin's Designs
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.

Yayyy...got my yarn! 50% off at my local Joanne's. Can't wait to get started on this beautiful blanket.
Tracy says
I'm in Toronto and am having a heck of a time trying to get my yarn for this project. "Canal" colour does not exist, so I thought I would try my own combination. Found a beautiful variegated Caron Jumbo Calming yarn called Lily Pad, which I can't find anywhere to ship to Canada. Too bad because I really like it with a faded denim and yellow. Such frustration before this even starts! Any suggestions? Would Red Heart be any better?
Marina King says
I'm in Canada as well, I asked a few people what colour they thought Canal was, most had no real clue. Red Heart would work for this they are fairly close in weight, as would the Bernat Premium, I don't know that it would have that colour, mostly because I'm still not sure what it is.
Jacqueline Muto says
The Caron One Pound Canal is a blue grey color Joann's has it and yarnspirations should as well.

Robin says
Can't wait! I'm going o be a couple of weeks last being started though I forgot this was starting the 23rd and diet Dave enough "fun" money out away to buy the yarn. Now I have to wait until I get my disability check April 3. Bummer, guess I'll just have to work extra hard to catch up.
