Heather Zig Zag Blanket

"The Heather Zig Zag Blanket is a modern crochet blanket pattern worked using the inset mosaic technique to create a bold zig zag design with simple stitches. Using two colours and an easy repeat, this pattern offers the look of intricate colourwork without carrying yarn or working multiple colours in the same row. The rhythm of the stitches makes it a relaxing project, and the pattern includes guidance for customising the size, making it ideal for a cosy lap blanket or a larger throw. If you’re new to inset mosaic, the pattern includes how this techique works as well as a chart and explaining of how the chart works. /DETAILS Skill level : Easy US Terminology /MATERIALS Aran/Worsted weight yarn #4: Yarn A (solid neutral colour) 1050 yds; Yarn B (variegated yarn) 1096 yds 5mm crochet hook (blanket) 4.5mm crochet hook (border) Tape measure Yarn Needle Scissors /FINISHED SIZE approx. 40” (w) x 55” (L) suitable for a lap blanket or throw Instructions in the pattern include recommendations for customising the size /STITCHES AND ABBREVIATIONS USED mosaic double crochet single crochet (sc) crossed double crochet (Xdc) slip stitch (sl st) change colour (cc) chain (ch) each (ea) repeat (rep) Right Side (RS) skip (sk) space (sp) stitch (st) wrong Side (WS)"
