Seaside Holiday
Please Note: This is NOT a beginner overlay mosaic pattern. If you'd like a great introduction to overlay mosaic Love Always and Hopscotch are great for beginners and contain no diagonal stitches! The 2025 Mosaic CAL is also a great intro to overlay mosaic (and is a great free way to try out overlay mosaic if you never have and are unsure if you'll enjoy it). The CAL contains some diagonals, but is a good introduction to working those stitches.

Pattern Notes
- This pattern is worked row by row (no turning). You change colors every row between the background color, which is always the odd rows, and the “design” color which will always be even rows.
- Graphs for this pattern are included in a separate file. All ends are encompasses in an envelope border, with no end sewing required (knots are used to begin and end each row) save for a couple for the border.
- Finished size on cover using a 5.5mm hook and worsted weight yarn is xx by xx inches (xxx by xxx cm). A smaller blanket can be made using DK yarn (#3 on the label - called light worsted, 8ply or DK) and a 4.5mm hook.
