I made another mosaic blanket. This one is called Sholach.
I absolutely LOVE this blanket. It’s pretty, it has amazing texture (I love running my fingers across some of the patterns), and it’s full afhan sized at 45x60 inches.
When using the overlay method, you only work one color per row. You don’t do any color changes within a row, so you might enjoy trying a small project!
Thanks, everyone! I think I want to try another one with a blue variegated background and navy or black trees. To look like a night sky. I will have to look around for colors that will work for that.
that’s part of what I like so much about mosaic crochet. It looks so complicated, but is actually pretty simple. Every row is worked with single and double crochet stitches. The single crochets are worked in the back loop only. The double crochets are worked in the front loop two rows below your current working row. These two simple things make for one complicated looking finish
I know there is mosaic knitting, but I’ve never tried it. I have no idea how similar the two are. I have a feeling the chart would need to be modified for knitting. If you ever try it, I would love to see it!
