I love to crochet blankets but I find that I get bored easily. With the mosaic blocks crochet stitch I couldn’t wait to see how the next repeat would look. The stitch pattern combined with the softness of the yarn made for this to be a very enjoyable project.

The stitch pattern uses simple stitches but in a unique way which makes this an intermediate pattern but I think with a little patience a beginner crocheter can make this blanket.

Now, I want you to know that this pattern will always be free on my website. But, I will soon make an ad free pdf available for purchase soon. The ad free pdf will include a crochet chart to help with the mosaic blocks pattern and the border.

Ad Free PDF will be available soon for the Chic Modern Mosaic Blocks Throw.
Available Soon! I will add a link once it is ready for purchase.
Chic Sheep by Marly Bird Yarn

Now you can make your own Chic Modern Mosaic Blocks Throw using the mosaic blocks pattern. I highly recommend the Chic Sheep yarn if you want to make this something really special, but you can use almost any other worsted weight yarn you wish that gets you the same gauge.
