Heritage CAL

HERITAGE CAL

During September in South Africa, we celebrate Heritage month to bring our many unique cultures together in our beloved country. It was during this month in 2020 that the seeds of my inspiration gradually took root. It was the plethora of colours and patterns that embody these cultures that inspired me to visualise patterns for myself using the mosaic crochet technique. Hence, my decision to name the pattern ‘Heritage’. This pattern was released as a CAL during August and September of 2021. Even though the pattern is designed to make a lap throw / small blanket, it is versatile and can be used to create a cushion cover, placemat or even a table runner.

This pattern uses the one row/overlay mosaic crochet technique. You will work with one row at a time from right to left and after each row you will break the yarn and start with a new colour on the right side again.
