"The Mindful Hands Mosaic Blanket is a lap-sized mosaic crochet design created with comfort and calm in mind. Featuring a classic gingham pattern and an easy-to-follow inset mosaic technique, this project works up beautifully while creating a soft, textured back that adds warmth and gentle tactile interest. It is ideal for donating to nursing homes, hospitals, hospice centres and charities, or for gifting to anyone who would appreciate a soothing, tactile lap blanket. /DETAILS Skill level : Easy US Terminology /MATERIALS DK yarn: Yarn A = 1811 yds (variegated); Yarn B = 1002 yds (neutral solid colour) 3.5mm crochet hook (border) 4mm crochet hook (I use Clover Amour hooks) Tape Measure Scissors Yarn Needle /FINISHED SIZE measures approx. 36” (W)) x 48” (L) Instructions in the pattern include recommendations for customising the size /STITCHES AND ABBREVIATIONS USED single crochet (sc) half double crochet (hdc) double crochet (dc) front post treble crochet (fptr) 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)"
