Mosaic knitting is not only a creative outlet, but it's also immensely enjoyable! Watching the intricate patterns unfold row by row can be wonderfully addictive. This technique involves just two simple stitches—Knit (K1) and Slip (Sl1)—making it an excellent choice for knitters of all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned pros.

This unique knitting pattern provides detailed instructions for eight different blanket squares, each designed to be knitted flat and easily sewn together to create a stunning finished piece. Whether you're looking to create a cozy baby blanket or a larger throw, the versatility of these squares makes it simple to customize your project to suit your needs.

To cater to different preferences, both written and charted instructions are included. This ensures that every knitter can approach the pattern in a way that feels most comfortable to them—whether you prefer following text instructions or visual charts.

Materials Needed:

Each square requires a maximum of 35 yards (32 meters) of each color—Main Color (MC) and Contrast Color (CC). For a delightful baby blanket made up of 16 squares, you will need a total of 560 yards of each MC and CC. If you’re considering a larger throw, which consists of 64 squares, you’ll need 2,240 yards of each color to complete your beautiful creation.

Finished Measurements:

Each square measures 5 inches (12.5 cm) on each side, making it the perfect size for a variety of projects, including baby blankets, lap blankets, and decorative throws. With this pattern, you can enjoy the captivating process of mosaic knitting while crafting a beautiful, warm blanket that is sure to impress.
