Orca Blanket

**Level 3-Advanced** (angle stitches and tapestry color changes)
Introducing the Orca mosaic crochet pattern from my Animals and Their Young collection! This design features a beautiful mom and baby orca.  It is the perfect gift for the orca lovers in your life!

This mosaic crochet pattern is an advanced skill level and is recommended for crocheters with experience in mosaic overlay crochet.  The 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. 

Written for Mosaic Overlay Crochet, this pattern includes:

•    Charts
•    Written Pattern
•    Detailed Instructions packet 
•    Stitch Key
•    Photo tutorials
•    Video tutorials for each type of stitch used in the patterns

Size:  39”x 46”
*Size will vary depending on yarn weight and hook.  
This calculation was based on Stylecraft Special DK yarn and hook size of 3.75mm.  Gauge:  5 stitched and 5 rows=1 inch

Yarn:        
Color A (Water/Seaweed) - 1302 yds    
Color B (White)- 957 yds 
Color C (Black) – 635 yds
2” Double Border – 653 yds

This pattern is divided into 7 sections and is worked from the bottom up. I 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. I have also included a full chart on one page for those who wish to use Knit Companion (or similar technology) without all the page breaks.
