MEASUREMENTS

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: 10” wide, 86” tall

GAUGE: 13 sts x 18 rows = 4” [10 cm] in single crochet. Use any size hook to obtain the gauge. Exact gauge is not critical to this project.

MATERIALS

Yarn: Sample was made with Red Heart Chic Sheep by Marly Bird™ (100% wool, 3.5 oz / 100 g, 186 yd / 170 m)

Color A: Dragon Fruit (1 ball)
Color B: Linen (3 balls)
Color C: Platinum (3 balls)

It is possible to choose any worsted weight yarn but I highly recommend that a solid color be used for color A and C, a long color changing or ombre yarn could be used for B if you wish.

Hooks: Size I/9 (5.5 mm) or size needed to obtain correct gauge.

Notions: Stitch markers, tapestry needle

NOTES

Changing color: when 2 loops are left on the hook from the last stitch of the previous color. Carry yarn up the side of your work throughout the mosaic section. Fasten off B and C at the end of the mosaic section, fasten off A at the end of Row 8.

When crocheting double crochets in the mosaic crochet patterns, be sure you are working in front of the chain spaces, and not around the chain spaces.
