Belle to Infinity; Center-Out Overlay Mosaic Crochet Pattern using Furls Wander Yarn

Support video for Belle to Infinity. I created this pattern as part of Crochet Foundry’s 2023 Blog Hop. Find the full written pattern for free on my website: Or purchase a nice PDF (including the x-marked chart): This design is worked from the center-out using the overlay mosaic crochet technique. This easy colorwork technique uses one yarn per round and there’s no cutting of your yarn! I used Furls Wander Yarn in Obsidian (black) and Tundra (light blue). My hook is a Furls Streamline. It is ebony wood and so light to hold! The yarn and hook was sent to me as part of the Blog Hop promotion (thank you!). This design can be made as large as you like, and you don’t have to reach a certain round. At the end of any round you can decide to be done. I decided to be done when I ran out of Tundra. I then added a few rounds of single crochet in the Back Loop Only using Obsidian to give my blanket a border.
