Great Dane - Mosaic Crochet Blanket Pattern (PDF Pattern)

This mosaic crochet blanket pattern features the bold silhouette of a Great Dane, perfect for making a meaningful handmade gift for the dog lover in your life!  Since its original release in 2022, the instructions packet has been updated to include new video tutorial links, and I’ve added a full single-page chart for those using Knit Companion or similar digital tools without the distraction of page breaks — making this pattern even easier to work with.

This listing is for a digital PDF crochet pattern — no physical item will be mailed.

SKILL LEVEL
✨ Level 2 — Advanced (angle stitches)

This mosaic crochet pattern is an advanced skill level and is recommended for crocheters with experience in mosaic overlay crochet.  Detailed instructions, photos, and video tutorials will guide you through each step of the project. With a little bit of patience and practice, you'll be a pro in no time!

If you are new to angle stitches, I highly recommend trying them first with this free Heart Mug Rug pattern. This small 7”x 7” project is a great introduction to my angle notation system and includes my full stitch key.

OPTIONAL PERSONALIZATION
There is space in the design to personalize your blanket with a name.  I have several alphabet fonts available that fit this space nicely (sold separately).

ABOUT MOSAIC CROCHET
Mosaic crochet uses one color per row to create crisp, graphic imagery and lettering — no yarn is carried along the back of the work.

This pattern is divided into sections and is worked from the bottom up. I would suggest using the Knit Companion app (my personal preference as it is brilliant and saves on printer ink and paper), but I have also included layout instructions for the charts if you prefer to print out your pages. The written pattern sections correlate with the charts so they can be used together. 

Special thanks to Marion Sayer for testing this pattern.
