This mosaic crochet blanket is inspired by American artist Mickalene Thomas and the colorful patterned backgrounds of her collage-like paintings. Created with rows of alternate colors, the geometric patterns are easily made with mosaic crochet, which is an exciting technique to add to your skills!

The blanket is made in a mosaic two-row interlocking stitch, using single and double crochet stitches with chain spaces. The pattern starts with two simple repetitive patterns to build confidence and is designed with those new to mosaic crochet in mind. Supported with written instructions, the color charts are easy to follow.
