There is absolutely nothing better than wrapping yourself in a giant, handmade, warm blanket when it gets cold outside. This Winter Freeze Mosaic Blanket crochet pattern by Briana K Designs fuses warmth and artistry with a stunning design. It offers both elegance and practicality, making it perfect for gifting or keeping.
What You’ll Need to Start the Winter Freeze Blanket
This crochet mosaic blanket is made in WeCrochet Brava Dove Heather and WeCrochet Chroma Worsted Cousteau. It’s premium acrylic yarn that will keep you warm while giving your throw a nice drape. You’ll also need a 4 mm crochet hook to obtain the right gauge.
Step-by-Step Overview
Crocheting the Winter Freeze Mosaic Blanket is as much fun as snuggling under it. The pattern is constructed in rows, using alternating half double crochet stitches and decorative mosaic crochet repeats.
The mosaic section at both ends forms striking snowflake-like motifs. As complicated as it appears, this piece is quite simple to make. It is equally wonderful for adventurous beginners or experienced crocheters who want to relax while working on an impressively breathtaking project.
What Is Mosaic Crochet and Is It Hard to Learn?
If you have never tried mosaic crochet before, don’t let that scare you. Mosaic crochet is a colorwork technique that forms geometric patterns with basic stitches.
The beauty lies in working one color at a time and cleverly skipping stitches to allow the design to emerge. Unlike any other colorwork methods, mosaic crochet doesn’t involve carrying the yarns across the work or pulling long floats on subsequent rows.
Briana K’s pattern will walk you through every single step, so even beginners can give it a try!
