Grab The Yarn
Back in November when we crocheted the Cottagecore Mosaic Blanket, I partnered with Wool Warehouse for the yarn pack (link <<<). I fell in love with Yarnsmith’s Create yarn so much so that I ordered a LOT more in a ton of fune colors.
If you order the yarn from Wool Warehouse it comes pretty quick! So don’t worry, you can catch up quick. The prices are also super affordable and they are on sale right now!
I created this yardage based on using Yarnsmiths Create (DK). These are the yarn details: Skein Weight: 3.52 oz. / 100 g Yardage: 317.24 yd. / 290 m
The following is what I used to determine the average yardage using a DK weight and 4 mm hook.
The measurements I came up with for each stitch using a 4 mm hook are as follows:
- 3” (8 cm) per FPdc
- 1.5” (4 cm) per BLOsc, EBS and BBS
- 2” (5 cm) tails
Color Palette
In the sample graphic below, you’ll notice I used rich earth tones. Then in the samples (which you’ll see as each blanket strip is released) –
Creating a blanket in royal earth tones is a beautiful way to blend luxury with the comforting essence of nature. Imagine wrapping yourself in a cozy, plush fabric that captures the quiet elegance of a serene forest or the grandeur of a majestic mountain landscape.
Choosing Colors:
The deep, rich hues of emerald green, sapphire blue, and opulent gold can evoke a sense of royalty, while earthy browns and warm terracottas ground the palette in the natural world. These colors together create a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere, perfect for enhancing any living space.
Such a blanket not only offers warmth and comfort but also serves as a striking piece of decor that tells a story of the earth’s regal beauty and timeless grace. Whether draped over a sofa or spread across a bed, a royal earth-toned blanket can transform a room into a sanctuary of elegance and tranquility.
My Personal Color Choices
I used deep red, blue, brown, cream, and tan. You can use any colors you’d like to make your blanket completely unique. I highly recommend checking out Yarnsmith’s yarn selection because they have SO many colors. Remember to use contrasting colors to make the design POP!
I decided on these colors for my blanket but of course, you’re welcome to use whatever colors you’d like!
Estimated Yardage (using Yarnsmith’s):
Yardage & Skeins
I am going to play around with different color combinations and see what I like best!
- These estimates are for Yarnsmith’s DK weight yarn using 4 mm hook. These will vary depending on your yarn and hook choice of course.
- The following is the total yardage for the each color.
- White or off white and the contrasting color.
Total Yardage:
This can help if you want to use a self striping yarn or something similar. After this you’ll find each pattern breakdown and how many skeins per strip.
- Color A (MC – White): 1901 yds (1739 m) (without border) – approximately 6 skeins (without border) 7-8 (with border)
- Color B (CC – whatever you’d like): 1793 yds (1639 m) (without border) – approximately 6 skeins (without border) 7-8 (with border)
(You may want to add a few extra skeins for the border if you’d like to use the same colors.)
Reminder: These estimates are based on the length of stitch calculations above. Creating a swatch and measuring your stitch lengths may help you get a better idea of how much you’ll need to adjust. These yardages do not include the border either.
Individual Blanket Strip Yardage
If you want to use different colors for each strip, the approximate yardage for each skein is as follows using DK / 4 mm hook – the following are the individual blanket strips starting from #1 – #9 (pattern 4 & 8 are repeated in the blanket 2 times to create 11 total strips – the yardage below includes those totals)
One Size Blanket with a starting of 277sts + 1 turning ch or 277 fsc A = Color A; B = Color B Pattern 1: A: 305.34 yds (279.22 m) (2 skeins) / B: 251.34 yds (229.78 m) (2 skeins) appears 2x in pattern in section 1 and section 11) Pattern 2: A: 128.67 yds (117.65 m) (1 skein) / B: 118.67 yds (108.49 m) (1 skein) Pattern 3: A: 153.25 yds (140.14 m) (1 skein) / B: 115.08 yds (105.23 m) (1 skein) Pattern 4: A: 243.50 yds (222.68 m) (1 skein) / B: 224.83 yds (205.54 m) (2 skein) appears 2x in pattern in section 4 and section 8. Pattern 5: A: 147.58 yds (134.97 m) (1 skein) / B: 141.25 yds (129.18 m) (1 skein) Pattern 6: A: 102.42 yds (93.65 m) (1 skein) / B: 102.33 yds (93.57 m) (1 skein) Pattern 7: A: 149.58 yds (136.79 m) (1 skein) / B: 136.47 yds (124.79 m) (1 skein) Pattern 8: A: 175.63 yds (160.57 m) (1 skein) / B: 175.63 yds (160.57 m) (1 skein) Pattern 9: A: 126.08 yds (115.28 m) (1 skein) / B: 126.08 yds (115.28 m) (1 skein) Total Pattern: Color A: 1902 yds (1738 m) / Color B: 1793 yds (1638 m) |
How to Do Overlay Mosaic Crochet
What is Overlay Mosaic Crochet?
Overlay mosaic crochet is a specific type of mosaic crochet where you work with two contrasting colors, but only one color per row. The magic happens by using a combination of single crochet (BLOsc) and front loop only dc (FLOdc) stitches to create the design.
The FLOdc stitches are worked two rows below your current row, allowing the contrasting color from previous rows to peek through, creating the mosaic effect.
Changing Colors Mid-row
Someone brought this up today and I’d thought I would touch on it. So, in this example, the tester uses various colors instead of just two colors – which is a little more complicated and takes a little more forethought.
If you would like to create a multicolored mosaic, you’re welcome to do it. If you are JUST learning mosaic crochet I would stick to two colors until you get it down, then play around with it more.
Learn to Change Colors
Creating a multi colored mosaic can be achieved in various ways. Here they are:
- Plan your colors first. Where do you want the new color to appear?
- Since in mosaic we have 2 main colors (contrasting color and main color), you’ll want to follow the A and B on the chart but replace your contrasting color with the color of your choice. (you can see from the mushroom image below that she uses green and tan in the same row.)
- How to achieve it. Either carry both colors inside the stitches and pull it up as you need it by changing our the last part of your stitch with your new color as in traditional color changes.
- Or you use your main contrasting color and add your new color as needed (like the stem of the mushroom below), which looks like she added the color as needed without carrying it in the stitches. I say that because you can see that the green of the square motif and the bottom part of the stem overlap and are on the rows. So She either had to carry two yarns or add the stem yarn as she needed it.
- This will cause more tails to weave in, unless you carry them through.
I hope this helps and if you have any questions, please let me know.

Key Aspects Of Overlay Mosaic Crochet:
- One color per row: You cut the yarn after each row, then add the color to the beginning of the next row.
- No turning: You work each row from the right side (or “front”) of the fabric.
- Direction of Work: Right to left (can be worked left to right as well for the lefties out there!)
- Stitch combination: The interplay of BLOsc and FLOdc stitches creates the pattern.
- Charts: Overlay mosaic crochet patterns typically rely on charts to guide the placement of stitches and color changes, however, written patterns are also helpful.
