Bloomin’ Tulips Mosaic Crochet Pattern 

This written pattern is for the wubbie sized blanket (4 repeats.)

Changing Colors:

Use the Chart as a guide to change colors and reference the video above on creating multi color mosaic crochet patterns.

I changed colors on the rows labeled B. Bringing up the new color as needed while carrying the green throughout.

Tips: I worked directly from the balls for the tulip tops and carried the yarn up and over (see video and image below for help) to create the color changes. The same technique is used for all strips in the blanket.

(the image below highlights the bunnies, but the technique is the same across the board for color changes.)

• Individual Repeat Section – Repeat this 4 times total for .
• Tip: To avoid weaving in tails, carry tail inside stitches at beginning and end of rows.

All About the Yarn 🧶…

I used a combo of yarns to get the colors I thought looked pretty – including I Love This Cotton and Yarnsmiths Create. Below I listed the colors in I Love This Cotton with an alternative for the green – because I used Yarnsmiths for green in my samples.

Materials & Notions

Suggested Yarn:  I used 4-weight yarn (I Love This Cotton).

• Hook Size: 5 mm (US H)
• Scissors
• Darning Needle

Estimated Yardage:

To make then entire blanket;

• 4 Skeins – White (Color A)
• 3 Skein – Bright Green or Premier (Color B MC)
• 1 Skein – Pink
• 1 Skein – Aqua
• 1 Skein – Buttercup or Curry
• 1 Skein – Amethyst

Sizes / Finished Measurements:

Approximately 45″ wide x 42″ tall (about 114 cm x 107 cm) – without border

Gauge:

Approximately 14 sts × 17 rows (in overlay mosaic) =  4″ x 4” (10 x 10 cm) with H/8 (5.0 mm) hook.

Abbreviations

• FLOdc = front loop only double crochet
• BLOsc = back loop only single crochet
• ch(s) – chain(s)
• Bs – border stitch
• st (s) – stitch(es)
• yo – yarn over
• fsc – foundation single crochet
• RS – right side

[…]  – Repeat inside brackets as many times as indicated.

Stitch guide ✨:

Bs – Border Stitch: It’s a single crochet stitch, placed between the V of the single crochet below.  Insert your hook into the designated stitch or space. Yo and pull up a loop. Yarn over again and draw the yarn through both loops on the hook. (it’s a single crochet)

BLOsc = Back Loop Only Single Crochet: Insert your hook into the back loop only of the designated stitch. Wrap the yarn over your hook and pull up a loop. Yarn over again and draw the yarn through both loops on the hook.

FLOdc = Front Loop Only Double Crochet (aka drop down double crochet): Yo, insert your hook into the front loop only 2 rows down. Yo and pull up a loop. Yarn over and draw through two loops on the hook.

FUN TIP: Lately, I’ve been doing a front POST drop down double crochet because I think it looks a lot better.

Personalizing Your Blanket

The great thing about these patterns is you can create a blanket as large as you’d like and as small as 41 stitches wide! Mix and match motifs. Create something truly unique!

Starting the Blanket

The blanket is 155 stitches wide.

Want to add or delete repeats?

Repeat the area between the yellow lines. When you get the number of repeats you’d like, complete the last stitch + the border stitch to finish it off.

To customize the size, use the graph below:

• Repeat only the stitches between the yellow lines of the chart for the body of your project.
• To adjust the width, multiply the number of stitches between the yellow lines by the number of repeats you want, then add 3 stitches to your foundation chain.
• After completing your repeats, work the final two stitches shown at the end of the graph to finish the edge.

Notes:

• Worked flat from R – L (L-R if left handed)
• No turning, all worked on RS.
• For 2 Color Patterns: Color changes each row – cut yarn after each row.

Multi-Color Changes Mid-row:

If you like the multi-color, you can achieve that by changing colors mid-row (refer to the CHART for when to change).Similar to any color change midrow, you use bobbins or balls and bring up the color as needed, carrying it up and over and enclosing it. (I created a video for this) – check out the video links above.

Bloomin’ Tulips Mosaic Crochet Pattern – Written Instructions

Note: If you decide to create multicolor, reminder, I didn’t carry the colors through. I added them as needed and worked off the balls similar to how bobbins work, carrying them up – see How to Change Colors in Mosaic Crochet video for help. (Refer to chart for color changes they are not written out here)

This written pattern is for the wubbie sized blanket (4 repeats.)

For the Tulips (color changes) , I created bobbins for the separate colors.
