Learn how to crochet a beautiful mosaic crochet baby blanket with my free step-by-step pattern and video tutorial. Introducing the Everleigh Blanket, a blanket I have named after my youngest daughter, Everleigh Rose.

I started this blanket while she was still safely growing in my belly and completed it upon her arrival… sometimes with her curled up on my chest! How’s that for multitasking?

Mosaic Crochet

After discovering the art of mosaic crochet, I was hooked, and I had a burst of inspiration to crochet a baby blanket for my youngest daughter I’d previously crocheted the Bobble Stripe Blanket for my firstborn.

If you’ve never tried mosaic crochet before, I have free patterns and tutorials for both inset and overlay crochet. I’d highly recommend you try these techniques before attempting the blanket, as you will learn the basic principles of the techniques used in the pattern.

Pattern Notes

Written in UK terms but switchable to US terms below.
Video tutorials in both right and left-handed versions.
This pattern is made using the Inset mosaic crochet technique which means stitches worked into full stitch.
The pattern is worked in 2 rows of each colour turning at the end of row. The yarn is not tied off so there aren’t lot’s of ends and you can ‘float’ up yarn. You can find out more about this technique HERE.
I would suggest working the practice swatch on the blog post prior to starting this project if you have never done mosaic crochet before.
Increasing your hook size for your foundation chain may be beneficial if you tend to work this quite tightly.
Chain 1 at beginning of the row does NOT count as a stitch.
When changing colour, pull through new colour on last pull through of the stitch. Do not fasten off yarn, instead float yarn up.
To make size adjustments, work your foundation chain in multiples of 16 plus 3.
