Tea Time Mosaic Blanket
Pattern Notes
- Finished size using a 5.5mm hook and worsted weight yarn is 48 by 72 inches (122 by 183 cm). This blanket is set up to be resizable, so you can easily make a smaller version by doing less panels of cups and/or fewer cup across the width. Or by using a lighter weight yarn and smaller hook.
- Yarn amounts given below were taken using a 5.5mm and Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn, which is a worsted weight yarn (with a 10% cushion added).

Diamonds Squared

Hopscotch Blanket
Want an easy introduction to overlay mosaic crochet? The Hopscotch blanket is perfect for beginners!
- This pattern is worked row by row (no turning) and utilizes an Envelope Border to avoid sewing all those ends.
- Hopscotch is totally customizable in size and direction are included to do so.
- This pattern includes both written instructions and a graph.
- Coloring Options - Coloring is based on the odd & even rows. You use one color for odd rows and a second color for the even rows. You will begin using a new color for odd (or even) rows when you see “new color.” You will use the new color on all the odd (or even) rows until you hit the next color change command. In this way, you will be using each color for 11 rows (11 odd or 11 even rows, that is) making this a great stash buster because not much of each color will be needed!
- 4.5mm Hook
- A note on hook sizes + yarn weights - Paintbox Simply Aran is labeled as a #4 weight, just like Worsted. However, it is thinner than any US brand of #4 yarn I have used, so you may wish to use a different hook. Overlay Mosaic is a lot of sc stitches - if you crochet tightly, I recommend using the hook size on the label, maybe a size larger. If you tend to crochet loosely, you may want to use a size smaller than the yarn label recommends. If this is your first mosaic project, it would be wise to work up a swatch or two, to see what you like best. Directions for swatch size included.
- Each color change: 110 yards aran weight yarn
- Solid Color Border - 450 yards worsted weight yarn total
- Stitch Markers (to mark the width repeats, if desired)

Pattern Notes
- This pattern is worked row by row (no turning), and includes a written version for both right & left handed crocheters. Right hand hook is pages 7-10. Left hand hook is pages 11-14.
- The graph is included in a separate file. There is a one-page image file for use on devices, and there is also a printable version. It can be followed as written, no matter which hand you hold your hook in. Right-hand hook holders read the graph from right-to-left. Left-hand hook holders read the graph from left-to-right. It is colored to show how the color changes occur in the written pattern. As you read the graph, you need to be careful to read only the row you’re working - square by square - making the stitch indicated by the symbol on the square (or lack of symbol, as that means a sc).
- Your FIRST and LAST stitch of every row are worked into BOTH LOOPS. I start my first sc using a standing sc stitch - this is exactly like a stand dc, only you complete a sc stitch rather than a dc stitch (photo & video tutorials are links in the stitch list above).
- You’ll see that you are working a chain space after your first, and before your last, stitch. This is to set up the envelope border so you have no ends to sew in. The chain spaces will be what you stitch into as you border the sides of the blanket. The first & final sc (along with all the ends) will be enclosed in the envelope border.
- Excluding the first and last sc, all other sc are worked into the BLO.
- The stitches in ( ) are repeated. The design notes a repeat of ‘x3’ - which means you repeat the stitch sequence in the ( ) a total of three times. It may be helpful to place stitch markers to mark off the repeat sets. If you make the Baby size - your repeat will only be x2.
- About Colors. Each heart is outlined on top by the color of the heart in the proceeding row and outlined on the bottom by the color of the heart in the next row. There is a color planning example and color planning charts on pages 4-6.
- What about all those ENDS? There’s NO end sewing (except the final border round).
- Can the size of this blanket be customized? - Yes! You need to chain a multiple of 50 + 36 more. Then adjust the number of times you repeat the main width - the stitches inside the ( ) - to be the same as the multiple of 50 you chose.
- Never made an Overlay Mosaic project before? - No worries! I had a mix of both veteran and new to mosaic testers, so I hope you find this pattern is easy to follow - even if it is your first overlay mosaic project.
