Fireside Plaid Blanket

"Using the inset mosaic technique, the Fireside Plaid blanket design creates a beautiful tartan crochet effect without the complicated colourwork. A simple border gives a neat finish, while the generous throw size makes it perfect for curling up on the sofa or layering on a bed (instructions are included for how to customise the size and recommendations for yarn choices). Even if you’re new to mosaic crochet, the step-by-step guide (including how to read the chart) makes it easy to relax and enjoy every row. /DETAILS Skill level : Easy US Terminology /MATERIALS Aran/Worsted weight yarn #4: Yarn A (solid neutral colour) 1382 yds/1283 m; Yarn B (variegated yarn) 1964 yds/1794 m 5mm crochet hook Tape measure Yarn Needle Scissors /FINISHED SIZE Measures approx. 60″ (W) x 58″ (L).
