Antalya Mosaic Blanket

This overlay mosaic crochet pattern design was inspired by travels in Turkey and repeating patterns seen in local architecture, rugs and more. There are six patterns of varying related motifs - all include a chart and written instructions.

These are fairly simple patterns suitable for someone who is intermediate at crochet. I give some ideas for making a blanket or cushion cover, but the repeated mosaic patterns below could also be used for a table runner or wall hanging, amongst many other possibilities. The pattern can be scaled up and down easily, by simply adding 30 or 60 stitches for the pattern repeat.

This project really suits a decorative fringe border, which saves a lot of time compared to the typical envelope border in mosaic crochet! For my afghan blanket size (40”x64”) project, I used 2,000m/ 2,190 yards / 675g dark colors and 1,700m/ 1,860 yards / 575g light colors.
