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.

I've never done a CAL or SAL in my life!!! I've been crouching since I was 9 yrs old, and am 77 now!!
I've learned so much "new" crochet stitches and patterns from you Mickey, and have even taught myself how to follow a graph pattern or two. Most are so small, my old eyes can not see the "stitches" well enough to try them.
I hope to be able to do this SAL when it comes out. March 23rd is my daughter's birthday!!! I hope to give it to her as a belated present!!!#

I love this comment as I am getting older, too, so I understand about the eyes not seeing as well as they once did. 🙂 You must be a great crocheter if you've been doing it that long. Sadly, I have not ~ but I learned everything I needed to know from Mikey and am getting better all the time. I'd say I'm intermediate now. Thanks, Mikey. 😉 I think you will really enjoy this, Marti. I've only done a couple of CALS before but loved them. Nice to meet you!
