Crochet Along with me - Stained Glass Mosaic Blanket

 Hello,

I hope this blog finds you all well and being Happy Hookers!

This is my newest crochet blanket design which has been inspired by my love of Stained Glass.  (I still have the edging to do!)

I usually create my blanket courses for online courses, but this time I have decided to try something a little different and open it up to the public domain.  Normally I give out links in a WhatsApp group whilst also keeping an eye on everyone's progress throughout the length of the course.... so obviously, doing it this way means I won't be around to nag you to get your home work finished.  But the blanket is totally do-able in 12 weeks if you keep up with the weekly tasks - of course, you can take as long as you like and do it in your own time  :)

I have used Stylecraft Special DK for this blanket, but of course, you can change it up and use your own colours - can you imagine how nice this might look in shades of one colour?  I must try that!!

The Stylecraft Special DK comes in 100g balls and the shades I have used for this blanket are:

5 x 100g Black
2 x Atlantis
2 x GreenGage
2 x Viola
2 x Carnation

1also used my most favourite crochet hook - the Clover Amour - in sz 4.50mm. (which you can find by using this link!)

Anyway.......what's going to happen is that every Monday I shall put up a blog post with the weekly pattern on it.  There will be 10 different mosaic squares, followed by joining and edging, making a total of 12 weeks of the 'Happiest Hooking' ever!

Of course, I would love to see progress, tag me on Facebook or Instagram (Sooz in The Shed) and I shall be notified and can pop along and have a look.  If you use Instagram you could also add the hashtag #StainedGlassCrochetBlanket and we can all see each others then,

So, I plan to start this off on Monday 12th May 2025.  Each week there will be a blog post here, which I will also share on my Facebook account - Sooz in The Shed which will contain the link to the video tutorial and a pattern to sit along side it.  My patterns are designed to just be a back-up for the video and don't often make a lot of sense on their own.

I've done all the hard work now in designing, videoing, editing, writing and sewing in lots of ends.... so I can now sit back and watch you all create your own lovely Stained Glass inspired crochet blanket.

Hope you enjoy.
