**Level 1-Easy** (SCBLO and DCFLO stitches only)

Create a beautifully textured blanket with this monochromatic mosaic overlay crochet pattern!  This elegantly raised Diamond Shadows design will make the perfect addition to any décor. The 9” repeat allows you to create a blanket of any length! 

My 6’ tall husband requested a blanket that covered him from chin to over-the-toes. Eight repeats made the perfect length for him!  I used 12 skeins of Caron Simply Soft worsted weight acrylic yarn in Dark Country Blue to achieve a length of 72”. (see photo)
