🧶 Want a smaller project to try mosaic overlay crochet?

How about the Keyhole Scarf? ❤️🤎

It’s a lovely way to have a go at mosaic overlay without committing to a full blanket and you still get all that gorgeous graphic pattern and texture.

The clever keyhole design means one end simply slips through the other, so it sits neatly around your neck without constantly coming undone. Perfect for those cooler days ahead! 🍂

A great project for:
✨ Trying mosaic overlay for the first time
✨ Using a bold two-colour combination
✨ Making something practical and wearable
✨ A quicker project between those bigger blankets!

And just think of all the colour combinations you could make this in… 😍

The Keyhole Scarf pattern is available now. 🧶

❄️ ONE DESIGN… SO MANY BEAUTIFUL COLOURWAYS! 🦌✨

This is one of those patterns that completely changes its personality depending on the colours you choose and I absolutely LOVE seeing all the different versions!

Just look at these beauties. 😍

💙 Deep navy & cream — classic and dramatic
🩵 Teal & white — crisp, fresh and wintry
❤️ Red & cream — warm, traditional Christmas vibes
💚 Olive & white — wonderfully woodland and rustic
💛 Black & gold — rich and elegant
🌸 Black with pink/yellow tones — completely unexpected and absolutely fabulous!

That gorgeous stag standing beneath the moon, surrounded by snowy trees and woodland detail, makes such a striking blanket — but the colour choice really makes each one feel completely unique.

And that’s one of my favourite things about mosaic overlay crochet: same pattern, totally different finished look.

If you’ve been tempted by this one, perhaps it’s time to choose YOUR colours and make it your own. 🧶❤️

The pattern is available from The Pattern Scribe on Ravelry, Etsy and Payhip.

Which colour combination in these photos would you choose? I’m struggling to pick a favourite! 👀👇

⚽ Football season is nearly here! ⚽

Which means it’s the perfect excuse to get those hooks out and start a sports-themed mosaic overlay blanket. 🧶

Whether you’re football mad, rugby obsessed, or simply making something special for the sports fan in your life, these bold graphic designs make brilliant blankets and they’re especially fun when you choose colours to match a favourite team.

Eat. Sleep. Repeat.
Dream. Believe. Achieve.
Or go all-out with a full-on football-inspired statement blanket! ⚽🏆

They make fantastic gifts for birthdays, Christmas, teenagers, partners, dads… or, of course, for yourself while you settle in for match day. 😉

Football season + crochet season = a pretty perfect combination!

Just look at this gorgeous colour combination for Moonlit Winter Wonderland! 🧡🖤✨

I absolutely love seeing how different colour choices can completely transform a design, and this warm golden sunset against the dark silhouettes is just stunning.

Colin has spent six months working on this as a birthday present for his dad! What an incredible labour of love! 🥰
